Jennifer

Welcome, welcome!  I'm so glad you stopped by.  I'm  Jenn - or Jennifer to some, and Jennie to the select few who've known me since my pigtail days back in Upstate New York. My journey from the cold, long winters to the sun-kissed landscapes of North Carolina over twenty years ago was fueled by my love for gardening and savoring nature's warmth as much as I could.

Amongst the twists and turns of 2020, my love for gardening and culinary creativity intertwined more profoundly, offering you a cozy corner to share the joy of crafting gluten-free and dairy-free deliciousness that nourishes and dazzles your taste buds.

In my search for healthy and tasty foods, I’ve explored the age-old arts of canning, dehydrating, infusing, and fermenting. Each technique offers flavors and health benefits, extending the life of our cherished produce and bringing complex flavors to our dishes. 

As a self-taught cook, my kitchen adventures have taught me more than a textbook ever could. Here, I’ve learned that the essence of great food doesn’t come from strict adherence to recipes, but from the joy and creativity of cooking.  With my camera in one hand and a spatula in the other, I'm on a mission to prove that a dish without gluten or dairy is an invitation to an exciting, flavorful experience.

So, if you're ready for a pinch of adventure and for your tastebuds to do the happy dance, Welcome to my blog!
