Well, Hey There and Welcome!
Amy Flanigan founded Belly Full in 2009 and all these years later, the catalog of easy, delicious recipes continues to grow into the thousands. Belly Full is known for tried and true, fuss-free, budget-friendly, delicious, every day recipes, whether it be chicken, beef, or vegetarian, oven or crockpot, dinner or dessert, indulgent or low carb, we’ve got it all!
With baked muffins or banana bread in hand at playdates, this website was originally inspired by all those parents who crossed my path and said to me, “This is divine, please tell me it’s easy to make. I must have the recipe.”
I have a husband, two kids, a dog, and a house – all craving attention. Sound familiar? Time is limited, so I’m always developing recipes that are delicious, but don’t keep me in the kitchen for hours on end. So, to all those fatigued parents (and non-parents!) out there who work hard and who appreciate good eats, but lack the time and vigor to experiment – this food site if for you.
Amy has been featured in Country Living, Today.com, Parade Magazine, HerLife Magazine, The Kitchn, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, and all around the internet.
