Kman MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“I have been “baking” in a bread machine for over 10 years but was always nervous about no-knead bread. Mine came out just fine (even though I left it on the counter for 17 hours instead of 12). Next step, with olives and a little whole wheat flour!”
~ It looks perfectly delicious to me. Thanks for your photo.~ jenny

MARIE (from Chicago) MADE MY FALL OFF THE BONE RIBS
“Hi Jenny, I brought 9 lbs. of ribs made using your recipes for rib rub, homemade barbeque sauce and Fall Off the Bone Ribs to a party. People were ‘oohing’ and ‘aahing’ even before tasting them. They tasted as good as they looked. Leftovers tasted great the next day, also. Thanks for sharing these recipes and making me look like a real pro! Kind regards from Chicago, IL, Marie Nixon.”
~ I’m so glad to hear it. Thank you for the delicious photo.~ jenny

DONNA (from Indianapolis) MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
“Deliciousness! I made my first loaf of whole wheat bread last night. It was tough to wait the 10 minutes to slice! I’m telling everyone to check out your website. Everything is easy peasy!!! – Donna Skinner Indianapolis, hometown Toronto.”
~ Thank you for the great photo. I have the same “waiting” problem. ? ~ jenny
MARILYN (from Florida) MADE MY CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD
“Beautiful and tasty bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe. It was a hit with my husband who is not a fan of sweet baked goods. I really enjoy watching your videos especially because you have helped me learn the technique of properly braiding bread. I have finally perfected this process and am confident of my future success in creating various braided breads. – Marilyn Russell “Lapetitchef,” Apopka, FL.“
~ It turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your photo. ~ jenny
ERIK (from the Netherlands) MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
“Hi Jenny, I baked your wheat bread. I guess my pan is slightly larger than yours. The egg was cold and the milk not quit as hot as it should have been. It took an hour and a half to reach an inch over the edge. But after 30 mins on 190centigrade, I think it’s not too bad for a first attempt. Greetings from the Netherlands, Dronten City. – Erik Groothuis“
~ The Netherlands! Woo Hoo! This “first attempt” looks perfect to me. Thank you for your fantastic photo. ~ jenny
RUBEN (from Puerto Rico) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jenny! I want to thank you for your easy bread recipe. It came out perfect as described in your video. Can I add dry herbs like oregano and rosemary? If so when should I add them? Tks again! ~ Ruben from Isabela, Puerto Rico.”
~ Thank you for the great photo and you can add herbs at the beginning of the mixture. ~ jenny
I’m so excited to share this easy one-pan meal. It’s Mediterranean eating at its best… healthy, low fat, and full of flavor. The whole thing is ready in an hour so there’s plenty of time to steam some broccoli or make a salad.
When using lemon, it’s best to use a non-reactive pan like Pyrex. I found a 13 by 9 pan at the grocery store for 12.49. The marinade is really simple, using one large lemon but you can use more lemon if you like. Here’s how it looks before cooking:
I try to submerge as many potatoes into the liquid as possible so they absorb lots of lemon/garlic flavor. About 10 minutes before it’s done, I turn over the potatoes and chicken. Here is it after cooking:
Most of the liquid will cook off and I use whatever juices are left, including the onions, to pour over the chicken for serving. I slice the chicken so the juices go inside all the slices. I love this easy recipe. They say the healthiest diet in the world is the Mediterranean diet and this is it! Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
Three things I always have in my freezer: 1) homemade chicken stock 2) homemade bread 3) turkey meatballs. These tasty little meatballs help me put together and quick and easy dinner with some pasta, sauce, and a salad. They are light and healthy and take just a few simple ingredients.
You can use white or soft whole wheat bread to make the fresh breadcrumbs. I use my own homemade bread, both white and whole wheat. There’s not much difference in the result so why not use whole wheat, but make sure it’s a soft whole wheat bread (mine is really easy to make).
This is a quick recipe but it’s hands-on because you have to keep turning the meatballs (sometimes meat squares or triangles) but who cares as long as they taste great. When I add the water, I rarely have any left at the end but all stoves and pans are different so if you have water left over, it just takes a minute or two to cook it off.

I wish you all a lovely holiday and good luck with all your cooking and baking.
This is my Simple Easter Bread that I’m making on Sunday. Of course I had to test it out today to make sure it turns out so I guess we’ll just have to eat it. ? I love baking for any holiday and sweet breads (my favorite kind of bread) are most popular at Easter time. It’s an easy one-rise recipe with lots of golden raisins and a light glaze.

I love seeing who’s making my recipes. Thank you for your photos and for saying where you are from. Please send your photo to: YourPhotos@JennyCanCook.com

NANNETTE (& her 9-year old) MADE MY CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD
“Hi. We just built a house and I have always said that once I have my dream kitchen, I’d take up baking. Two weeks ago I made my very first loaf! A simple white bread. I decided next I wanted a real challenge!! I found Jenny’s YouTube channel and voila’. I watched it about 10 times and on Saturday I got to it!! This was only the 2nd time EVER in my 47 years I’ve made bread ??? It wasn’t perfect…and my 9 years old went a bit crazy on the icing….but we loved it!!! Thank You!! Yum!! ~ Nannette Postel”

I just read an eye-opening article saying it’s not the bad stuff we’re eating but the good stuff we are NOT eating that poses a bigger threat to our health. It’s from a 27-year global study funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. One in five deaths, no matter where people lived, occurred because of too much sodium and a lack of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium, fiber, legumes or beans, and healthy fats found in salmon, vegetable oils and some nuts and seeds. Hey! I eat a lot of that stuff!
This chart shows the 15 risk factors with #1 being the highest risk. In the USA it’s not enough whole grains followed by not enough nuts and seeds. I’m proud to say that a lot of my breads and cookies have those things.
I’ve been busy the past month and when there’s not much time to cook, I still cook. And tonight I made my veggie fried rice. It’s my go-to dinner when I want a quick and healthy meal. I always have broccoli and peppers on hand I always keep frozen peas in the freezer.
It’s a light meal with protein from the eggs and a bounty of nutrients from the vegetables. This time I used broccoli, spinach, peppers, and peas. We had my peanut butter cookies for dessert.

I finally posted a new photo of myself on this website. I enjoy taking photos of my recipes but not so much of myself but I felt obligated to show my true and current self, un-retouched. The other photo was taken 5 years ago so it was time. I’ll soon be turning 73 and couldn’t put it off much longer. At least in this one I’m still only 72!
I wore my favorite apron and included the smiley spatula. My husband took the photo after I showed him which button to press. ? He always said he would do anything for me so I took him at his word. Thank you, my precious! ❤️ (He doesn’t know it yet but there’s an apple pie in his future ?) Happy cooking, everyone!
This morning I was craving my caramelized apple pancake but I am by myself and the recipe makes two servings. I decided to experiment, cutting all the ingredients in half, using one large granny smith apple and I used my 9-inch cast iron pan. It turned out great! I was afraid it would spread out too much and the edges wouldn’t puff up but look – it’s beautiful!
Here it is just out of the oven before I flipped it over onto the plate.
It wasn’t quite as gooey as the big one but I needed to show that you can make this pancake for one. You know that movie, “Gone in 60 Seconds?” So was my pancake. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
