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

Chile-Lime Pork

I love summer time – the warm air, the sun not setting until 7:30 or 8, our lovely backyard. All these things make it the ideal kitchen, especially if you love to grill, which I do. But since I’m me,…

Maiden’s Prayer

Summer months call for cool, refreshing cocktails. And to me, cool and refreshing usually means something with fruit juice as its main mixer. My favorite mixer is without a doubt, citrus juice. I don’t care if it’s orange, lemon or…
