About

BAILEY SISSOM

Hey there! I'm Bailey, a self-taught food creator with over 9 years of experience creating and sharing delicious recipes. My goal is to provide you with approachable recipes that will help you feed your family healthy, mostly real-food meals with as little effort as possible. Each recipe I create has been tested multiple times and presented to multiple food critics (i.e. my 3 boys) who aren't afraid to provide constructive (occasionally harsh) feedback. Only the best make it to Simply Sissom. These are recipes that you can trust.

I'm proud to be the owner and lead instructor at S.S. Cooking School, located in Nicholasville, Kentucky. I have taught over 500 classes and thousands of students. I am passionate about helping children and adults learn basic culinary skills so that they feel comfortable working in the kitchen. I believe cooking and baking are both valuable and necessary skills! As a former elementary school teacher, I have really enjoyed combining my teaching experience with my love of cooking.

My expertise is my ability to create low-effort quick and easy recipes that can be made by anyone. If there is a trick, short-cut or tip to make a recipe easier, you can be sure that I will share it with you. Over a million people have tried and LOVED my 4-Ingredient Pesto Chicken Bake and my Simple Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are the most popular recipe on the site - you've got to try both!

Simple meal prep is definitely my passion, but I also LOVE celebrating holidays and special events with creative kitchen treats. Sprinkled around (pun intended) Simply Serving you will find step-by-step tutorials for holiday sweets designed to create a fun experience for adults and children to work together in the kitchen. My tutorials on how to make paint your own cookies, monster rice crispy treats and sugar cookie Christmas trees are a few of my favorites.

Outside of the kitchen, I'm a wife to my best friend and husband, Joe, and mother to our 3 sons, Cooper (13), Campbell (10) and Cruz (5). My 2 oldest boys are very involved in soccer so our spare time is spent traveling to tournaments and attending practices as a family. It keeps us very busy, but it's a sweet season of life and I know that one day I will miss it.

Join me in this culinary adventure where healthy meets approachable. Let's make good food for our families, but FAST.
