Welcome to my kitchen! I am Alyssa Rivers and the food blogger behind The Recipe Critic. The blog launched in 2012 as a place to share my passion for cooking. I love trying new things and testing them out with my family. Each recipe is tried and true, family-tested and approved. Inspired by cookbooks, other food blogs, magazines, and family recipes, I try to make practical and easy family friendly recipes on my site that can bring your family together at the dinner table.
Nestled in Utah, I spend all of my free time being a busy wife and mother of four children. They can be my toughest critics when it comes to the food that I make. They especially enjoy cooking in the kitchen with me and helping to create delicious recipes to share.
