Welcome!

I’m Misty

Mom and cooking chaos coordinator

I am also known as Vantagemom, and I’m the creator behind Vantagemom Cooks and Misty Clark Cooking Chronicles.

I’m just a mom who loves to cook, try new dishes, and keep learning in the kitchen. I’m not trying to make everything fancy or perfect. I enjoy making the kind of food real families actually want to eat, from comforting casseroles and Southern favorites to easy weeknight dinners, one-pot meals, breakfasts, sides, and desserts.

Some recipes are old favorites I grew up with, and some are new recipes I’m trying right along with you. Sometimes everything turns out exactly like I hoped, and sometimes we create a little chaos in the kitchen. That’s just part of it.

Life gets busy, and I know most families need meals that are simple, affordable, and realistic. My goal is to share recipes that use everyday ingredients, don’t require hours in the kitchen, and still feel like a good homemade meal.

What You’ll Find Here

You’ll find:

• Southern comfort food
• Easy family dinners
• One-pot and one-pan meals
• Casseroles
• Breakfast favorites
• Side dishes
• Desserts
• Old-fashioned recipes
• New recipes I’m learning and trying
• Meals made with simple, everyday ingredients

Vantagemom Cooks grew from my love of cooking and sharing food with others. I wanted a place where I could keep my recipes together and share them in a way that feels real, useful, and easy to follow.

So come on in and let’s try some new recipes together, along with some of the old recipes we’ve loved for years. We may make a mess, we may learn something new, and we may even have a little kitchen chaos along the way, but hopefully we’ll make something delicious too.

Good food, happy people, full hearts.
