Bringing Families Back to the Dinner Table

The Food Nanny began with one simple belief: life is better when families gather around the dinner table.

More than 25 years ago, Liz—known to many as The Original Food Nanny—noticed that regular family meals were quietly disappearing from many homes. Through years of raising her own family, she developed a simple meal plan that kept her family communicating, connected, happy, and healthy.

She discovered that the conversations shared around the dinner table are often even more important than the food itself.

That mission led Liz to write her bestselling book, The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner, and later share her message with families across the country through four seasons on BYUtv.

Carrying the Mission Forward

When Liz's daughter, Lizi, took the reins of The Food Nanny, she embraced the same mission while inspiring a new generation of home cooks.

Lizi has encouraged hundreds of thousands of families to rediscover the joy of cooking from scratch, proving that wholesome meals can be both delicious and simple. Her philosophy is built on balance—enjoying fresh bread, homemade pasta, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and gathering around the table with the people you love.

To Lizi, The Food Nanny has never been just about recipes.

It's about creating meaningful moments through food.

A Family Partnership Rooted in Tradition

As The Food Nanny grew, so did the desire to offer families not only great recipes, but also the finest ingredients to prepare them.

That vision led us to partner with members of our own extended family who have been ranching since 1920. For more than four generations, they have dedicated their lives to raising exceptional cattle with care, integrity, and respect for the land.

Together, we've combined two family legacies:

One dedicated to bringing families back to the dinner table.

The other dedicated to raising premium beef the right way.

The result is Food Nanny Meat—premium 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef raised on a fourth-generation family ranch where cattle graze year-round and every step is carefully overseen from pasture to packaging.

Because we believe great meals begin with exceptional ingredients.

More Than a Meal

The Food Nanny is more than a cookbook.

More than recipes.

More than premium ingredients.

It's a lifestyle centered on slowing down, gathering together, and making memories around the dinner table.

Today, we proudly offer more than 600 family-tested recipes, premium pantry staples like our Ancient Grain Kamut flour and French Fleur de Sel sea salt, and our carefully selected line of premium grass-fed beef—everything you need to create meals your family will remember.

Our Mission

Whether we're sharing recipes, teaching families to bake homemade bread, or delivering premium 100% grass-fed beef to your doorstep, our purpose remains the same:

To help bring families back to the dinner table.

Because the greatest ingredient in every meal isn't found on the plate.

It's the people gathered around it.
