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

January 14, 2015 by Jennifer 1 Comment

My husband hates meatballs, meat loaf… even super thick hamburgers. He always says they’re too heavy for him, too thick, you get the picture. But the boys and I love meatloaf and meatballs, so I still try and make them…

Esky’s Hot Spot

January 9, 2015 by Jennifer 1 Comment

I know the holidays are over but it’s still cold outside. When I’m cold I like drinking (or eating) something hot, something comforting; and nothing is more comforting than a hot cocktail. Okay, maybe mac & cheese. I used to…

White Russian

December 21, 2014 by Jennifer

I know the White Russian isn’t really considered a holiday drink, but it’s white-ish and it’s made with 2 different kinds of alcohol so I thought it would fit with this festive season. The fact that it’s super easy to…

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

December 10, 2014 by Jennifer 1 Comment

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…
