Hi, I’m Kathie Clane, and I’m so glad you’re here! I created Yum Tonight to bring the joy of delicious, satisfying dinners straight to your table—without the stress. Life is busy, and I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance work, family, and everything in between while still wanting to serve a great meal. That’s why I started this blog: to make dinnertime simple, fun, and—most importantly—delicious.
Whether you’re looking for quick weeknight meals, hearty comfort food, or something a little more adventurous to shake up your routine, Yum Tonight is your go-to destination for meals that are easy to make and packed with flavor.
A Bit About Me
Cooking has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, the dinner table was where my family came together, shared stories, and made memories over homemade meals. It wasn’t just about the food—it was about connection, laughter, and the love that went into every dish. Those moments left a lasting impression on me, shaping my passion for cooking and inspiring me to help others create those same experiences in their own homes.
Over the years, I’ve expanded my culinary skills through hands-on experience, culinary workshops, and my work as a professional chef. I’ve experimented with different cuisines, flavors, and techniques, refining my approach to cooking in a way that prioritizes simplicity without sacrificing taste. I believe that anyone, regardless of skill level, can create an amazing meal with the right guidance and a little inspiration.
Food should be something to look forward to, not a chore. My goal with Yum Tonight is to take the guesswork out of dinner, so you can focus on enjoying great food with the people you love.

Why Yum Tonight?
Dinnertime is one of the best moments of the day—a chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy something delicious. But I know how easy it is to fall into a routine of making the same meals over and over again, or worse, resorting to takeout because there’s no time or energy to cook.

I want Yum Tonight to be a place where you can always find inspiration, whether you need a last-minute dinner idea or want to plan ahead for something special.
