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.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I’ve always loved ice cream.  But for some reason ever since my third trimester I can’t get enough of it.  I crave it. And I don’t care what flavor it is – chocolate, coffee, chunky, smooth, it doesn’t matter.  As…
