Homemade, tested, and shared from my kitchen to yours since 2013.
Hi, I’m Jolene, author of Jolene’s Recipe Journal. I’m a New England home cook, food writer, and 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 recipe is developed, tested, photographed, and shared from my own kitchen.
Over the years, my recipes have been published in Taste of Home magazines, cookbooks, and online, including multiple contest-winning recipes. My work has also been featured by national outlets including MSN.com, Parade.com, and WPR.org. I’ve 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. There are no stock photos and 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, like taking drives through the mountains, visiting the beach, or relaxing at home with puzzles and movies.
