Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the blog named Powell Family Cooking?

Because cooking has always been a family tradition for us. We wanted to create a space that reflects that sense of connection, tradition, and love for food.

What is your blog's niche?

We focus on family-friendly cooking, featuring easy meals, comfort food, and dishes perfect for entertaining.

What influences your cooking style?

Having lived in multiple places, we’ve picked up a little bit of everything. The favorites that really stuck with us are Southern comfort food, Gulf seafood, Cajun dishes, Greek food, and Texas barbecue. These are the meals that feel like home—the ones we grew up on, cooked together, and still crave today. We love trying new flavors, but no matter what’s on the table, these influences always find their way in.

What are your short-term goals?

Our current focus is posting high-quality content and growing the website. We have over 1,000 posts on Instagram, so if you're looking for a specific recipe, DM us!

What are your long-term goals?

We would love to expand Powell Family Cooking into a thriving business for our family and continue sharing trusted, flavorful recipes with our audience.

Do your daughters still cook with you?

Not as often since they’re in college, but they still contribute ideas and recipes and hope to be more involved again in the future.

What do you love about developing recipes?

Cooking is our creative outlet, and we love sharing meals with family and friends. Most of the meals we make are given away after testing, which makes cooking even more rewarding!

Thank you for being part of Powell Family Cooking! We hope our recipes inspire you to create delicious meals and lasting memories.
