Hi! I’m Jacki Anderson, I have always loved to cook and bake; I remember being a small child on a step stool in my grandma’s kitchen baking peanut butter cookies or peeling potatoes for her yummy, mashed potatoes. I’m not a fancy person so I like to share recipes that are easy to make with simple ingredients.
One of my favorite things to do is find a recipe from my childhood and recreate it today. I truly believe food tastes better when it’s made with love.
