BROWN EGGS AND JAM JARS
Family Recipes from the Kitchen of
Simple Bites
By Aimée Wimbush-Bourque
Aimée’s rural homestead upbringing,
years working as a professional chef
and everyday life as a busy mom led
to the creation of the hugely popular
blog Simple Bites. Raising three young
children with husband Danny, Aimée
traded her tongs and chef whites for a
laptop and camera, married her two
passions, mothering and cooking. It’s
her emphasis on simple whole foods
for the family table, sharing stories and
tips and inspiring readers to make the
family– food connection that has made
the Simple Bites blog so popular.
