Hi! I’m Rufus!

Hey, guys! I am so happy you’re here! My name is Rufus aka Ruth. If you’re wondering, and I’m sure you are, Rufus is a childhood nickname that stuck…hard. So, I roll with it! A big mess maker in the kitchen and a true garden pirate, I am married to my best friend, Blake. Together we have two beautiful little girls, Auden and Isla, who keep us on our toes 24/7. We make our life in a small town in West Texas along with our Schnauzer, Iggy.

Life is crazy, but life is so good. A little chaos sprinkled into a lot of love and laughs is how we thrive. I created this space as a way to connect to anyone who shares the love of simple, whole food cooking and easy, healthy recipes. Around here, it’s real food that’s real good. And that’s how we like it!

I am so incredibly happy that you are here! If you make any of my recipes, please share and tag me on Instagram! I absolutely love seeing each and every one of your kitchen masterpieces! You can also find me on Pinterest! And, as always, if you ever have any questions about any of my recipe, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Welcome to Rufus for Real and Happy Cooking!
