How It All Started
Why “Peanut Blossom?” I have affectionately referred to my babies as "The Peanut" and "Little Pea" starting with my very first post. I believe that love "Blossoms" around a shared meal.
As soon as my girls could stand on a chair to reach the kitchen counter, I handed them a spoon and invited them to help me play with new recipes to make tasty dishes.
As our skills developed, I continued to share our kitchen adventures and experiments and now over a decade later, millions of readers have cooked our favorite recipes for their own precious families.
What started as a way to catalog my favorite memories with my girls grew into three bestselling cookbooks for families!
My Cookbooks for Kids
I am pleased as punch to be the author of two 5-star rated cookbooks for kids:
The Totally Awesome Ultimate Kids' Cookbook is filled with 95 recipes to inspire kids to get in the kitchen and get a delicious homecooked meal on the table the whole family will love. Get all the details here.
The Ultimate Kids' Baking Book has 60 fun and festive desserts kids will love making for their family to celebrate special occasions all year long. Get all the details here.
The Best Bread Machine Cookbook
I've had a special spot in my heart for our family bread machine since shortly after we were married.
The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook became a whole-family project when we were spending so much time home together in 2020.
It is the best spot to learn how to use your own bread maker to make easy, fresh bread for your family. You can grab a copy here.
About Tiffany Dahle
Founder of Peanut Blossom
I'm the girl who couldn't boil water when she first got married. My dear husband endured years of meals made with trial-by-fire cooking "lessons" as I learned my way through the kitchen.
Earning every last kitchen skill on my own has given me a deep passion for and understanding of other beginner bakers.
I try to write my recipes as clearly as I would if I were explaining them to my very own daughters when they try to recreate a special meal for the first time.
I have definitely earned my badge as expert family cook. I test each and every recipe on this site under real-world conditions. These are the actual dishes I'm serving on a random Tuesday evening or to my extended family on Christmas Eve.
If my family doesn't love it, it doesn't go up on the site. With one super-picky eater and a veggie-averse husband at my table, I can't think of a better test than that.
I received my degree from the University of Wisconsin in Journalism - Advertising. My first job out of school took me to Milan, Italy where I was forever-changed by the glorious food culture there.
Though I grew up in the midwest, my husband and I now live in Charlotte, North Carolina with our two daughters.
