With over 300,000 views every week between my website and youtube, from 200 different countries, I simply can’t to keep up with the growing number of questions. I never expected this when I started sharing my recipes and I want this to be the best experience for everyone but it’s become overwhelming.

I am a one-man operation, doing the best I can, but here is the reality: If I don’t get to 25 questions in one day, the next day it’s 50. Another couple of busy days and it’s 100 and by then I can’t catch up. I need time to work on my recipes, take the pictures, perfect the details, and share what I love. I also need time to focus on my philanthropy.

It’s wonderful to see how popular my recipes have become and I want to always be there but it’s become impossible and that makes me sad. This is my creation. I take a lot of pride in it and want it to be perfect so please know I am doing the best I can. I hope everyone understands and there are ways you can help:

1. Understand if I am not able to answer your questions.
2. Please do not ask a question that you can research online.
3. Please do not ask about changing my recipe as I only make them the way I post them.
4. If a recipe didn’t turn out, please look at the FAQs before asking what went wrong.
5. Please continue to share your helpful comments, especially if you’ve tried something different with one of my recipes and it turned out well. That’s helpful to all of us.

My sincere thanks to everyone who jumps in to answer questions to help out.  – Jenny Jones

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Caesar salad! Now I don’t have to go to a fancy restaurant to get a classic Caesar salad. It was always a mystery to me because I thought I had to use whole anchovies but for me, anchovy paste is perfect and it’s also easy to use. It takes just minutes to make this dressing but you need the right ingredients. You just shake it all up in a jar and it’s done.

Traditional Caesar salad is made with romaine lettuce and for me, hearts of romaine make the best presentation, not to mention homemade croutons. I usually make croutons with slices of my faster no knead bread and my recipe is super easy too. Click here to see how to make homemade croutons.

I encourage everyone to eat a salad every day and now you can make one of those salads a classic Caesar. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

ESTHER MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“I made artisan bread thanks to you Jenny! I am Esther R. Scott from Monongahela, Pa. (outskirts of Pittsburgh.) I just happened to find your channel and I am so glad that I did! It’s awesome. I used to love watching your show. I miss it. I watched you bake bread in a Dutch Oven and tried it myself. It came out so nice! And I am not what you would call a true baker. Lol. I put it in a springform pan with aluminum foil on top for a while. Here are the pics and thank you very much.”

I sealed my cookies in a glass container and they stayed as crunchy as they were fresh from the oven for a couple of days until all were gone! Kind Regards, ~ Miao Miao.”

~ I love these cookies too. Thanks for the storage tip. ~ jenny“I tried your Whole Wheat Choc. Brownie recipe today.. Wow! The taste is so gratifying!

It was easy to make and it was ever soooo tasty!!  Talk about a wonderful aroma throughout the house, we couldn’t wait to get our soup bowls filled.

~ Thank you, Sabine. It looks like this loaf works nicely in a loaf pan. ~ jenny

LENORA MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jen,  I left a comment under Lenora Collins on your YouTube channel for the Faster No Knead Easy Bread. Honestly, I only had two cups of sad bread flour crumpled up in the original packaging just hanging around from a few months ago. I kind of had to guesstimate the other ingredients based on your recipe since I was using one cup less flour. You can read in my YouTube comment that I had absolutely no confidence or real idea what I was doing. I just tried to follow the recipe as close as possible. I think my mess ended up being so successful because I used your methodology and tools. Oh, except I didn’t have parchment paper, but there was no way I could’ve just plopped the dough on the surface of the 450 degree preheated Dutch oven, so I placed it on a square of aluminum foil placed at the bottom of the Dutch oven. Enclosed you can see how my “mess” turned out. No lie –  I was impressed with myself. Thank you for all of your efforts in testing these recipes so they turn out AMAZING every time.  Have a Happy New Year!!

~ I just made a loaf this morning and now I’m making croutons with it too. ~ jenny

DAVE MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jenny – thank you for the great recipe and video!  I absolutely love cooking, but artisan bread seemed so complicated.  I have recently decided to make a sourdough starter but didn’t want to wait for it to be ready, so I gave your recipe a try.  I followed your instructions and all was well.  The dough was definitely “looser” than I am used to working with, but I used my scraper and it was fine.  Check out my first loaf (good thing I took a quick picture, because it didn’t last long!).  Look at that wonderful crumb!  And the crust… oh. my. goodness. It was easy and fun, and I will be making this regularly (I hear someone cutting another piece of as I write this!). Thanks again, Dave.”

~ I have the same problem here – I turn my back on the bread and it’s gone! ~ jenny

VISHWAS MADE MY FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS
“Jenny,  I came across your video when looking for ribs recipes and it left my mouth watering. I’m not much of a cook but I followed your instructions step by step and made the most delicious ribs I have ever tasted.  I used a little more chili and added a bit habanero which made it HOT .. just the way I love it. Here they are right after I took them out of the oven. Thank you!!”

~ You prove that even inexperienced cooks can make these ribs. Even with your adjustments, they turned out great. ~ jenny

JANE MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
“Jenny, thank you so much for your simple whole wheat bread recipe.  I have not bought store bread since last fall when I tried your simple, no fail recipe!  I give it as gifts to my friends and family who are soooo thankful.  Jane.”

If you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas I can tell you from experience that everyone I know loves to receive homemade goodies. Cookies, breads, cupcakes, biscotti… you can hardly go wrong. And then there’s homemade caramel corn. OMG! This is a gift that everyone absolutely loves! It’s super crispy, light, and so delicious! That’s what I give every Christmas and people start asking me in October if I’m making caramel corn again this year. That’s because there is no store-bought product that even comes close. And my recipe is simple. You don’t need a candy thermometer or any fancy equipment.

I just pop the corn in the microwave (my paper bag method) and stir in an easy syrup (made in five minutes) with butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and corn syrup (this is not high fructose corn syrup – they are not the same). Then you stir it up and bake it. I don’t make it for myself very often because I can’t stop eating it. So it’s a Christmas treat for me too. If you want to feel like Santa Claus next week and see big smiles on happy faces, give homemade caramel corn. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

Here’s a closeup of my Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are big! These are the ones made with 100% whole grains and no butter. Before baking you press them flat with a fork and they spread even more when they bake and come out super thin and crispy. I made them last night and the recipe makes twelve. There are five left.

What a treat to see your photos of my recipes. My thanks to everyone for sharing them. Feel free to include where you are from and send your photo to: YourPhotos@JennyCanCook.com

CARIANNE MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD & CRUSTY ROLLS
“Hello Jenny, So I made your Faster No Knead Bread for Christmas. Mmmm it was easy and tasted great! So today I thought I’d try the No Knead Crusty Rolls too. But I really liked how the bread came out of my Dutch Oven so I stuffed them in there. ? I found a pie pan that was the same size as the Dutch Oven to let the dough rise in while the Dutch Oven heated in my oven (just so it would fit). I also brushed them with Butter as you can see. I was planning to show the before and after pics but…..they were so pretty and good they got eaten before I remembered to take the after pic. Thank you for the recipes and have a wonderful New Year Jenny!”

NIKTA MADE MY PECAN BALLS (SNOWBALLS)

TRACEY MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS
“Dear Jenny, I’m also a London girl and your buns turned out great. Each step you gave made it so easy not too mess up !

GHIMIE88 MADE 3 NO KNEAD BREADS: PLAIN, RYE, AND OLIVE-CAPER
“I made Jenny’s no knead artisan bread again tonight. Fail-proof recipe ~ turns out well every time, and my family finishes it in no time and asks for more! Inside is soft with some nice big holes – make me feel like a pro! 🙂 THANK YOU, JENNY! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.”

“Jenny, I baked your Rye Bread. I made a stencil with a piece of white paper and sprinkle letters with cocoa powder. I love your recipes- thank you!”

“Jenny’s No Knead Bread recipe is the BEST! I have added different fruits and nuts at different times, and all turned out delicious. This bread has olives and capers (I have too much capers in my fridge). I often give this  bread away as a gift, wrapped in wax paper and a string ribbon tied around it, then placed in a zip-lock bag. Practical, edible, delicious gift appreciated by family and friends who received it. On Thanksgiving, i woke up early to bake this bread in my relatives’ home. I wanted to do something nice for them as a guest. My relatives were so excited about the bread. We sat around the table and ate the bread together, dipped in olive oil or butter on bread. Bread was gone in no time including the crumbs. Spending time together this way was so meaningful and memorable – THANK YOU SO MUCH, JENNY!”

“Wow! Husband approved. I had Aldi cocoa, a Myer lemon and I cheated (putting 2 Tbsp butter ONLY in the glaze to thicken it). Thank you SO much. A dear friend whose beautiful little boy is deathly allergic to eggs will love this. Ours turned out delicious! May the LORD Bless and keep you always. Yummo! Only wish I could claim this recipe as my own. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

ELIZABETH  MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jenny, so glad I discovered you on youtube. You are a very funny lady to watch! Last night I prepared some dough (half whole wheat and half white flour) and I put it in the oven this morning. Soooo easy! Even though I am Dutch myself, I never used my ‘dutch oven’ for baking bread, but I will from now on! I love this no-knead bread (ongekneed brood). Thank you for sharing this recipe! Elizabeth, from the Netherlands”

ADRIANA MADE MY PIZZA
“Hi Jenny, as I promised, I´m letting you know the great pizza I prepared today with your recipe. It´s the first time I make pizza, so I also decided to make a home made sauce and topped the pizza with sliced calamata olives. Used a rectangular pan because it was what I had available. I just baked it while we watch the Barcelona – Real Madrid game. My husband loooooved the pizza!! It´s just a delicious pizza. Thanks a lot Jenny! (I should have prepared two pizzas!! hahahahahaha)”

EFRAT MADE MY BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE
“Hi. This cake is so delicious! And so easy to make. Thanks for another great recipe! Efrat (from Israel).”

I really enjoy this moist buttermilk cake, especially because it’s another one of my easy, one-bowl recipes. The combination of spices in the cake along with a mild cream cheese frosting really works for me and I always like any frosting I can make without butter, but it’s also good with chocolate frosting. (You can use the frosting from my zucchini chocolate cake.) It may not be a fancy special occasion cake but my favorite cakes are quick and easy so I mostly bake and frost in the same pan. However, it’s easy to transfer this cake onto a plate and frost the sides as well, like in my photo.

I kept the recipe simple using just all purpose flour but it’s hard to tell the difference between the 100% all purpose and the one made with half whole wheat pastry flour. This recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of flour so I use 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour with 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of whole wheat pastry flour. If you like desserts without butter like I do, you should try this easy spice cake. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

If you’ve ever cooked an entire Thanksgiving turkey dinner then you know it’s all about surviving. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who does it all from scratch deserves a one-week cruise in the Bahamas! I do it all from scratch: the turkey & mashed potatoes, the gravy, the stuffing, cranberries, green beans, and pumpkin pie. How do I survive? By doing everything I possibly can… in advance.

That includes the pumpkin pie, the fresh cranberries, the stuffing, and even the gravy. I make my gravy in advance and just stir in some of the turkey drippings before serving. To make the best gravy and stuffing, I need a good stock so here’s how I schedule my prep:

One week ahead: I bake my easy white bread with 1 Tbsp. sugar and dry it to make cubes for the stuffing. The dried cubes keep well for days but they must be completely dry.

Two days ahead: I make turkey stock using two turkey wings. I rub them with oil, salt & pepper, and roast them on a sheet at 375° F for an hour. Then I put the wings and drippings in a soup pot with about 8 cups of water and all the same veggies & spices as my chicken soup. I cook it for 3 hours, strain, cool & refrigerate. Then I skim the fat off the top before using. Oh, I take the meat off the wings for snacking – it’s delicious! I also cook the fresh cranberries.

One day ahead: I bake my pumpkin pie and make my gravy and stuffing.

Obviously, not everyone wants to work this hard so a store bought loaf of white bread is fine and you can use chicken stock (Swanson’s unsalted in the carton is good). Some people like to crisp the stuffing in the oven but I prefer it soft. It feels more like it was cooked inside the bird that way.

Whether you make it ahead or on the day of, stir in a little of your turkey drippings before serving – it makes a big difference. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
