Hi there! I’m Jeni, wife, mother of three, grandma (Gigi) of three beautiful grandchildren. I am originally from Plainwell (Kalamazoo), Michigan, but moved to the desert (Phoenix) over 17 years ago. What a change! I love it here!
I started a baking business right away, medical by day, baker by night. I had a lot of customers and accounts selling to coffee shops. I then started making wedding cakes and that led to planning and catering weddings, parties and events. I did that for a while but it got to be too much as I was working full time medical and not getting any younger. I still take on an occasional catering or cake gig. After all, I do love a good party!
I love to entertain with lots of parties in my home, dinners, teas, cocktails, pool days, Birthdays, holidays…… The list goes on. I’m always in planning mode.
I have some amazing party menus and recipes I can’t wait to share with you!
I have been into herbalism since I was 20 years old, when my very cool nursing instructor took me under her wing and showed me the way. I have been making my herbal concoctions of teas, extracts, tinctures and so on, for many years now. In the future, I plan on sharing some of these recipes with you! I own a small tea company called Something’s Brewing. www.sbteas.com or you can find me on Facebook!
I also garden and can lots of delicious homemade foods including jams, jellies, pie fillings, soups, meats, sauces, etc….. I write all of my safe canning recipes using USDA Home Food Preservation guidelines. I am a YouTube video creator as well, you can find me here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf_91drCnzlLqG7IQw-5izQ
I am now retired from the medical community and happily working from home full time to bring you scratch made recipes for canning, baking, dinners, snacks, holidays, etc…. Now let’s get started!!
Canning is life, but baking is love! – Jeni
