My Story

HI, I'M JENN - THE KITCHY COOKER. I’ve been cooking since I could hold a wooden spoon and help my mom lick the bowl. I’ve always loved cooking, whether it was baking something sweet or simmering something savory. And you can absolutely be good at both. While I love the perfect fudgey brownie, there’s absolutely nothing better than a hot bowl of chili with shredded cheddar cheese on a cold, rainy night. About me

Night Cap

No, I’m not inviting you over for a late night snuggle. (That would require a question mark after the title.) Believe it or not, that’s really the name of today’s cocktail. You will want to sip it with the person…

Rice Krispie Cherry Balls

I’ve never been a big fan of Rice Krispie treats. They were always too sweet.  Too sticky.  Too time consuming.  And that was the main problem. Two boys means I just don’t have the time to stand over the stove…
