About Gina

Hi there! I’m Gina – Welcome to Yummi Haus. I’m so happy to have you here! I look forward to sharing with you all of my favorite things we create here, PLUS a little piece from our time in Hawaii.

No matter if you are feeding a family or it’s just you and your spouse, you’ll find all the best easy, nostalgic, simplified recipes here. From homestyle breakfasts, savory snacks, satisfying dinners, and delicious treats, both cold and cozy that will remind you of “what grandma used to make”, that’s what we’re all about because those are our favorites.

And if you are interested, here is a little about Yummi Haus:

My husband and I are empty nesters. We sold our 20-acre homestead in the northern part of Idaho and relocated to the Big Island of Hawaii for about a year or so. But once additional grandbabies started arriving, and we realized we weren’t quite ready to be fully retired, we decided to split our time between the Big Island and Montana.

We live with our beloved family of 2 chihuahuas, 1 Bully, 1 Mastiff-Rott mix, and 3 naked sphynx kitties. We have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren in Idaho and Virginia.

We started this site back in 2008 as Kleinworth & Co. (kleinworthco.com) as a fun way to share our daily lives with family. Over time, I found that I was sharing more of our daily recipes and DIY projects, and it just grew from there.

When we purchased our cozy Idaho homestead, the site transformed into Taste of the Frontier – as I was sharing more and more of our homesteading recipes and life. We never dreamed we would be empty nesters so soon after, and thought we would be living the frontier life forever. As life does – it all changed faster than I ever thought it could, and my dream of living in Hawaii became a reality. So we lived the island life and soaked up the sun and surf. But the mountains were calling. The only answer was to divide our time between the two as much as we can.

The recipes you find here were created to make memories, and I hope that you will be able to enjoy making memories with your family using these recipes, too.

Enjoy!

– The Yummi Haus Family.
