We’re Dee, Missy, and Heather—three sisters separated by a few states but connected by a lifetime of shared memories, countless family meals, and a surprising amount of professional kitchen education and experience.

Tired of Recipe Sites That Hijack Your Time? So Were We.

If you’ve ever clicked on a link to see a recipe only to be bombarded and even beat over the head a ton of ads flying out of everywhere, with pop-ups, auto-play videos, and a life story that’s as along as a novel and takes forever to scroll through… you’ve experienced the frustration that inspired us to start Three Sisters Recipes & Traditions.

We just wanted a peaceful corner of the internet dedicated to what really matters: sharing fantastic, foolproof food, painlessly.

This blog is our answer to the frustration of cluttered, ad-heavy recipe sites that use a ton of resources and take ages to load. We believe finding a great recipe should be a joy, not a test of patience. Here, you’ll find a collection of our family’s most beloved dishes, all tested and trusted by us. No more wondering if that chicken really bakes in 20 minutes!

Our Promise to you: Family-Tested, Profession-Approved

This blog is a melting pot of our lives, from heirloom recipes from our childhood to quick weeknight wins from Heather’s kitchen, and tons of dishes in between from our collective experience as moms and grandmas. But it’s far more than that; we love trying new recipes too! So we encourage you to pull up a chair at our table and <link to recipe page submission>share your favorite recipes with us too. <close link to recipe page submission>

But what does “foolproof food” really mean? For us, it’s backed by a decades of combined professional food service experience across our entire family. This isn’t just a hobby; it’s in our blood.

This is what you can expect from us:

• Pro-Tested & Scaled: With a family that includes restaurant managers, a district manager, professional cooks, and a specialty cake artist, our recipes are vetted for proper technique, clarity, and are perfectly scaled for your home kitchen.
• Tested & Trusted: Every single recipe submitted to our site is manually checked for proper cooking logic and flavor because we believe your time and ingredients are too valuable to waste on a recipes that just don’t work.
• User-First Design: We designed our site with easy navigation so you can find what you need quickly and easily, without the clutter, the way it should be.
• Real Family Food: This is the food we actually feed our families, from busy weeknights to grand celebrations.

A Little About Our Sisterhood:

• (A photo of Dee) Dee (The Florida Retiree & Food Service Vet): As the eldest, Dee isn’t just the keeper of our family’s classic recipes—she’s also a food service veteran with decades of experience all the way up to the district manager’s office. Dee ensures every recipe is not just delicious, but meticulously reliable. She’s the chief recipe validator, head grandson-spoiler, and new recipe creator and tester.
• (A photo of Missy) Missy (The New York Nana & Baker): Also retired and holding down the fort in New York, Missy is our baking guru. With five grandchildren of her own, she knows a thing or two about whipping up crowd-pleasing treats that are both delicious and dependable. Her knowledge is amplified by the next generation: her niece, a talented specialty cake artist whose creations are true works of art. Between them, they cover everything from simple cookies to stunning celebration centerpieces.
• (A photo of Heather) Heather (The Busy Home CEO & Restaurant Veteran): The “baby” of the family, Heather, is a multitasking marvel with a decade of restaurant experience. She has mastered the art of creating flavorful, family-friendly, flavor-packed weeknight meals that don’t take all day to prepare while working from home and raising her three active sons.

We’re also joined in this endeavor by our five adult children who contribute their own modern twists and dishes.

• Dee’s older daughter, with her 20-year career in food service.
• Dee’s daughter-in-law, who works as a restaurant cook.
• Missy’s daughters and son, who have all worked in food service, including management roles.

This collective expertise is your guarantee. Every recipe you find here has passed the ultimate test: it’s been made with love, refined with professional knowledge, and approved by our whole, very hungry, and very discerning family.
