ANNA MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“I made it! Along with home canned chicken”

Thank you for your photo and have a great Christmas! – jennyJenny Can Cook No Knead Bread

MONA (from California) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“I brought an Italian themed meat/cheese board to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving.  The upper left has the two loaves (not high, but very chewy and tasty) I baked using your recipe. I brought home: cheese, olive oil, olive spread, and honey(s) from Northern Italy, Slovenia, and Greece in October.  The brined and oil-cured olives, meats, and fruit I purchased locally in the Little Italy district of San Diego.  Happy to report, the bread paired wonderfully with every single ingredient. I baked the loaves on a baking sheet covered in parchment.  Maybe Santa will bring a Dutch Oven for Christmas.  Thanks for the recipe!  Mona Oge, San Diego, CA.”

– What a fantastic spread! It’s beautiful. Thank you for the photo and all the delicious details. – jennyJenny Can Cook

CHRIS MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“I love this recipe. We were so happy with how the delicious and beautiful the bread came out. Thank you!”

– I love it too. I make the whole wheat version every week. That’s a good looking loaf – thank you. – jennyJenny Can Cook Bread

ANNETTE MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

– Thank you for your photo. It’s good to see how well it turns out in a large pan. – jennyFast No Knead Bread

BEV (from Canada) MADE MY CARAMEL CORN

“Oh, Jenny, this is very dangerous stuff!  My plan was to give little boxes of it away but now I have to make more.  This is the lightest, best caramel corn we’ve ever had and the first time I’ve made my own popcorn (which I’ll be doing from now on, who knew it was so easy).  Another wow recipe – thank you!  Bev (from Canada).”

– Don’t I know it! Everybody raves about this stuff when I give it as a gift. After seeing your photo, I’m going to gift it to myself – it’s close enough to Christmas as far as I’m concerned.🎄 😋 – jennyHomemade_Caramel_Corn

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving 2021 🍂

How_To_Make_Fresh_Cranberries_Jenny_Can_CookI already made my cranberries. There’s no Thanksgiving turkey dinner in this house without fresh  cranberries. If you haven’t made them using fresh berries, then you don’t know how easy it is. It takes five minutes and the taste is out of this world. Your kids will love watching them pop as they cook, kind of like popcorn. I don’t just make cranberries from scratch, I make my stuffing from scratch, using my own homemade bread and homemade turkey stock and my bread stuffing is awesome!

Putting together Thanksgiving dinner is a challenge, but so is cutting your own bangs… and yet we manage! ✂️ I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and if you want to try any of my Thanksgiving recipes, here they are:

BARB (from Canada) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

“Hi Jenny!  My hubby has a sweet tooth and has been craving cinnamon rolls of late. We both lost our jobs this past year, so I’ve been making everything at home from scratch for a change. I’ve lots of time for cooking now and we are addicted to all your easy bread recipes! I was reticent about cinnamon rolls, however. I thought they’d be too tricky for me!  BUT I watched your video, taking note of the tips for not rolling too tight and using dental floss for slicing. It was easy!  The only extra step I did was giving the dough a second rest after I rolled it out. It wouldn’t “relax” and kept shrinking back up again. But after I gave it the second rest for a few minutes, it co-operated with me. I was able to roll it a second time to the correct dimensions with no problem. I’ve attached photos showing them in the pan before rising and after rising, then after baking and glazing.  My husband was very happy and didn’t realize I’d used no butter at all. Just light olive oil in the dough, then spread with a little Becel margarine before filling.  We ate them all by the next day!  I get more confident in my kitchen skills with every recipe of yours that I try.  Thanks so much, Jenny … God bless! – Barb from Ontario.”

– Thank you for these luscious photos and for the tip about the second rest. They are picture perfect!  Jenny, also from Ontario.Best Recipe Cinnamon RollsCinnamon Rolls Jenny Can Cook

MARZENA (from Chicago) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny, This was the easiest bread i have ever made. I found your recipe through one of my good girlfriends and have loved it since. I am super excited to try out your other recipes and will continue to make this bread in the future it turned out perfect. My husband always says things taste “okay” but when he bit into this bread the first words that came out of his mouth were “this is really good!!!!” Thanks again! Best wishes for the holiday season! ~ Marzena Frausto, Canadian living in Chicago.”

– I’m glad you got such a great compliment. It’s about the same with my husband. He says everything tastes good but once in a while, he says, “very good,” and that makes my day! jenny (former Canadian, former resident of Chicago) 🇨🇦 Best_No_Knead_Bread

THERESA (from Indiana) MADE MY DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES

“Hi Jenny, Our elf is named “Jenny Jones” because she loves to be in the kitchen, using your recipes to make the most delicious food. In this picture, Jenny is proudly showing off her latest creation, Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies. Jenny added chocolate chips, toasted walnuts, and sprinkled the brownies with powdered sugar. I’m glad we took a picture, they didn’t last long! So good! Jenny the Elf says “Thank you for sharing your recipes!” Theresa (Indiana).”

– This is quite an honor indeed. Your brownies look good and so does your adorable elf. Thank you for this darling photo and Happy Thanksgiving. jennyBest Recipe Fudge Brownies

MANUELA (from Germany) MADE MY EASTER BUNNY BUNS INTO MARTIN’S MEN

“Hi Jenny. In Germany we celebrate St. Martin’s day on November 11th, where children walk around the streets with lanterns and receive little “Martins men” afterwards. I used a combination of your cinnamon raisin bread and your easter bunny recipe for the sweet treats and they turned out great. I am sure the kids will LOVE them! Thanks so much for the recipe. Looking forward to new ones (especially videos!) and would LOVE to see your new kitchen! Many autumn greetings from Germany, Manuela.”

– How nice to learn about your St. Martin’s Day tradition and your little Martin’s man looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing with us. jennyMartins_Men_Bread

Photo of the Month (October)

Jenny Can Cook BreadsThis was an easy choice. Seeing this young man embrace baking made me so happy, and he is not just a baker, he is an artist! Just look at what he made in the October photos section. His grandmother, Jeannie, wrote that “since Covid started and my grandson being home with me quite often, he has found a new passion; bread baking.” To know that my recipes played a small part in a young person’s passion for baking and seeing how skilled he is already, I can only imagine what the future holds for this talented young baker. I look forward to seeing more of his creations.

My Homemade Italian Seasoning Mix

Homemade Italian Spice MixNEW RECIPE: One day I was out of my store-bought Italian seasoning mix and needed some for dinner. I thought about changing out of my pajama bottoms and favorite T-shirt to go to the store but that sounded like more work than making spaghetti and meatballs from scratch. So I decided to try making my own spice mix. That was the last day I ever used store-bought Italian seasoning mix. I can’t explain why but the mixture I came up with was just…. better. It smells better, tastes better, and smells fresher. It may be because I use a lot of basil, which is super fragrant. I just put all the ingredients on a piece of wax paper and pour it into a small jar, shake well, and it’s done. Homemade always seems to be better, even for spices. (not so much for hair coloring!)

DALILA MADE MY EASY PUMPKIN BARS

“Hi Ms. Jenny! 🌷I was lucky enough to have all the ingredients I needed to make your EASY PUMPKIN BARS again. In fact I made two batches, how could I not! 😉 I’m  telling you this is such a wonderful recipe, the pumpkin bars come out soooo moist. I was also quick to take pictures this time, they really do NOT last long. In one batch I added dark chocolate chunks, the other one has toasted walnuts. For the frosting I did make it a bit more stiffer, easier for me to pipe it. Thank you for sharing your ‘awesome’ recipes, keep them coming! Happy Baking! 🌼 Dalila.”

I made your QUICK AND EASY SPROUTED WHEAT BREAD. I’ve made it many times before with success in a regular size loaf pan. I sometimes add some sort of  seeds to the top of the loaf. This time I tried it in my two smaller pans, 7.75″ X 3.75″ X 2.5″. The loaves came out great, I topped one with pumpkin seeds. The bread always comes out so soft in the middle, yummy indeed!  Thank you for making “bread-baking”  so much fun Ms. Jenny! 😀 Wishing you and Denis a lovely day! 🌻 Happy baking! ~ Dalila G.”

Photo of the Month (September)

Pumpkin Cheesecake RecipeThis is the first photo sent in of my lightened up pumpkin cheesecake and it reminded me that I don’t always have to make pumpkin pie for the holidays. Rhonda made it for her anniversary and said, “Everyone in my house loved it, even my daughter with the picky appetite.” To make it even better, Rhonda decorated it so beautifully with real homemade whipped cream – the only kind I use too. Plus, her picture is better than mine!
