Hi, I'm Beth Kaminski

Welcome to The Everyday Pot

I’m Beth Kaminski, and I cook in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for my husband, our two children, and whoever stays long enough to need a plate. The Everyday Pot is where I share good food for ordinary days: dinners, sides, breakfasts, and desserts made with familiar supermarket ingredients.

I learned to cook by helping my dad get supper on the table. There were usually potatoes to peel and something simmering on the stove. Those evenings still shape the way I cook. I like a meal that feels welcoming without needing a special shopping trip.

Between office work, school pickups, and household errands, I need recipes that fit into a busy day. Skillet chicken with onion gravy and beef and macaroni tomato bake are regulars at our table. Green beans with buttery bread crumbs, crisp-edged buttermilk pancakes, and apple oat crumble have their places, too.

I keep a notebook beside the stove for pan sizes, cooking times, and what I would change next time. In each recipe, I explain what to look for as the food cooks, not just how long to set the timer. When I suggest a substitution, I say what it changes.

I started The Everyday Pot to make those notes useful beyond my own kitchen. You’ll find clear steps, practical details, and food meant for everyday tables. Not every dish will be every family’s favorite, but I hope you find a few worth making again.
