Hi, I’m Crissy Page
I’ve been cooking for my family and sharing the recipes we love here at Dear Crissy since 2009. These are easy, real-food dinners, cozy soups and casseroles, and the kind of desserts people ask you to bring again, each one tested at least three times in my Ohio kitchen before it ever reaches yours.

I’m a mom of two (plus two dogs) in southern Ohio, and I’ve been writing Dear Crissy for more than 17 years. It started in 2009 as a personal journal. Over time it became a recipe site because the posts readers kept coming back for were the ones about what was for dinner.
Before food blogging, I earned a BA in English from Ohio University and worked as a photojournalist and lifestyle photographer. Both still shape everything here: I write my recipes to be clear and easy to follow, and I take all of my own photos so you can see exactly what each step should look like.
My mom is my favorite person to cook with, and she helps me develop many of the recipes you’ll find here. A lot of our ideas start with her collection of well-loved community and church cookbooks, then get tested and tweaked in our kitchens until they’re just right.
How I test recipes: every recipe is made at least three times before I publish it, and my family eats every version. If we don’t love it, it doesn’t go on the site. I also keep updating older recipes with reader questions, tips and better photos.
