Hi, I’m Annie Leblanc welcome to Smily Recipes. I didn’t grow up loving the kitchen. In fact, I used to think of cooking as a chore—especially when I was trying to eat healthier without giving up the comfort foods I loved. But after a turning point in my health, everything changed. I started experimenting with meals that were nourishing and joyful, and somewhere between burned pans and happy accidents, Smily Recipes was born.Now, this blog is where I share the recipes that make me smile: cozy one-pots, fresh salads, family-style dinners, and nostalgic treats made a little better. I keep it real—no fads, no perfection, just food that feels like home. If you’ve ever wanted a kitchen friend who gets it, you’re in the right place.
