Hi, I’m Jennifer. I love to cook and entertain. I have a lot of fun sharing traditional food and drink recipes as well as putting a new spin on the classics. I strive to provide easy to make recipes that are perfect for the home cook, bartender and entertainer.
It’s so nice being able to make sweet potato casserole in the Insta Pot. I’m starting to plan my Christmas menu, and having enough room in the stove is always a concern, so not having to bake the casserole for an hour or so really helps make room for other dishes!
