Homemade, tested, and shared from my kitchen to yours since 2013.
Hi, I’m Jolene—a New England home cook, food writer, and passionate recipe developer. I started this blog in 2013 after the cooking message board I loved shut down. What began as a way to preserve my favorite dishes has grown into an online journal of the meals I make for my family and friends—each one tested, photographed, and shared from my own kitchen.
Over the years, my recipes have been featured in Taste of Home magazines and cookbooks, as well as national outlets like MSN.com, Parade.com, and WPR.org. I’ve also partnered with trusted brands such as Swiss Diamond, Dixie Crystals, and Blendtec.
Here, you’ll find a mix of classic comfort food, seasonal treats, and family favorites. Every recipe is developed and tested by me—no stock photos, no outsourced content. Just real food with honest results.
When I’m not cooking or working on the blog, I spend most of my time with my husband and son. We enjoy simple things together—taking drives through the mountains, visiting the beach, or just hanging out at home with puzzles and movies.
