A Polish lady (Beczkowski) made my Polish paczki and took her photo using beautiful Polish dinnerware – this is my favorite photo of the month. On top of that, she is 71 years old and “finally successfully made paczki” for the first time. Thank you to Joyce Beczkowski Nicholas for this wonderful photo! 🇵🇱

My Favorite Recipes
For anyone wondering which recipes I make the most, my own go-to favorites, here they are:
No Knead Crusty Rolls: I always have some in the freezer because you can pop them into a 325° F oven for about 10 minutes and they are even more crusty than when first baked.
My Dinner Salad: With a few variations in olive oil dressings, pretty much every meal I make starts with a salad.
Pork Tenderloin Dinner: The pork is lean, takes on marinade really well, and I love roasted veggies.
Oven Chicken Veggie Kabobs: It’s an easy and simple one pan meal with delicious marinated chicken, and I always serve it with Basmati rice. One pan = easy cleanup.
Granola Bars: I make a lot of these granola bars. They can be a quick snack, dessert, or something to take on a hike or trip. There’s one in my purse right now.
Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake: Of all the chocolate cakes I make, this is my favorite And there’s a whole sweet potato in there for some vitamin A, or as we say in Canada, “Vitamin eh?” 🇨🇦
Cracked Wheat No Knead Bread: I love farm breads and this easy no knead bread with extra fiber is the one I make the most. I bake, slice, and freeze.
Sheet Pan Chicken & Vegetables: It’s fast, easy, healthy, low fat, and it all roasts in one pan. It’s delicious. I love this meal!
Bran Muffins: I make a dozen and freeze them for the days I crave traditional, old fashioned, bran muffins, which is almost every day.
Tapioca Pudding: Light as a cloud, this comfort food dessert is a family favorite. My husband swears I always take the bigger serving, but he can’t prove it. 😀
Giant Breakfast Cookies: These are almost a meal in themselves, chewy, delicious, and full of fiber. As soon as I’m down to one, I make more.
One Pan Broccoli Bean Pasta: I buy fresh broccoli every week so I know I can always make this quick and easy last minute dinner with my pantry staples of pasta and canned beans. Any time I can make dinner in one pan, I’m on it! 🥘

ANDREW (in 7th grade) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jenny. My name is Andrea. I came across your YouTube video about the no knead bread because my grandson, Andrew, who is in 7th grade had to bake bread for CCA, or home Ec, as we know it. He asked me to help him make a recipe I have for an Amish white bread but it’s a bit complicated, So I was looking for an easy recipe to help him with. We did yours and it was really good. They didn’t get dark because the oven went out but they were cooked through. I thought to myself, this is a great base recipe. Andrew wanted me to make the honey bread that he likes so I added a little honey before I put my hot water in and it worked. I used my air fryer oven since my oven went out right after making his bread. Again it worked. Next time I make bread I’m going to use a larger pan but in the air fryer oven. this is Andrew first time bread baker.“
– I’m so happy to see young people learning to cook! 😀 Keep it up Andrew, it’s so much fun!! 👏 – jenny
