– Thank you for your photo and have a great Christmas! – jenny

“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. – jenny

“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. – jenny

– Thank you for your photo. It’s good to see how well it turns out in a large pan. – jenny

“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.🎄 😋 – jenny

“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.

“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) 🇨🇦

“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. – jenny

“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. – jenny

“Your recipe is the best! I don’t ever have to buy bread again! I’ve been following you and your awesome.  Recipes for several years now  I also love your YouTube channel  It’s awesome. Thank you Jenny!!”

“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.”

~ They look so good and a little fancier than mine. Thank you for more of your lovely photos. ~ jenny

“Jenny Jenny Who Can I Turn To ????  Well — Jenny Can Cook!  I baked your lovely No Knead Crusty Rolls and they turn out fabulous!  I will be freezing them so I can reheat them at the Cabin we have rented this upcoming week.  I divided them into 6 rolls instead of 8 because I needed an excuse for a bigger roll.  LOL!  Thanks so much for the recipe!  I’ve saved your recipe to my PAPRIKA3 app (which i love and highly recommend) but …. I’ve named them Jenny Jenny No-Knead Crusty Rolls. 😉”

~ Thank you for these photos. I like the idea of bigger rolls – one never seems like enough. 😋 ~ jenny

“Hi Jenny, I’ve just finished making your Oatmeal Cookies (I substituted some chocolate chips & pecans for the raisins) – love them!  But my biggest accomplishment to date was your Braided Cinnamon Raisin Bread which I made 2 days ago.  I’d never have even attempted it but your video gave me the confidence to try and all I can say is WOW, I can’t believe I made it myself.  Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes which I’m plowing my way through and we’re enjoying every one of them. Bev (from Canada)”

“Hi Jenny, Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes. I go to you for inspiration and love your videos!  In this case, I had already made a crust from a different recipe, but next time I will try yours for sure. In any case, the apple pie was delish! Made last night and had for breakfast this morning, just like you recommend in your video. ; ) Have a great day! ~ Rosanna Funiciello Smith.”

~ I really should put this recipe in my “Breakfast” category. 😀 Thank you for your photo. ~ jenny

“Dear Jenny: I made these for the first time ever following your recipe and video. A picture of them in progress – the dish on the top is ready, the dish on the bottom clearly needs some sauce and leaves before going in. They turned out PERFECTLY! I’m so proud of them! Thank you thank you thank you!! With love, Pamela.”

~ What a thrill to see my favorite meal being made and yours looks fantastic. Congratulations on your first cabbage rolls!~ jenny

“I love this bread it’s so delicious.  At first I was unsure that I could make it because it looks complicated!  This makes me happy Jenny.”

~ And your picture makes me happy. Your loaf looks perfect with just the right amount of glaze for my taste. 😍 ~ jenny

“Hi Jenny! It was perfect.  I also made white.   Didn’t turn out as well.  Hints?? ~ Lorraine.”

~ Thank you for this photo. I love the glaze you added. If you followed my white bread version, I have no idea why it would not work. Just make sure you follow that recipe exactly. ~ jenny

“Hi Jenny – We’re loving every one of your recipes I’ve tried, too many to count!  Here are photos of your Strawberry Cake, Fall-off-the-Bone Ribs and Apple Pie – all of them fabulous.  Now that fall is here I’ll be trying more of your breads and of course soups.  Thanks so much again for continuing to inspire me.  Bev (from Canada).”

~ Thank you for starting off the October photos with these amazing crusty rolls. They look great! ~ jenny

“Your recipe is wonderful! I multiplied it x6, as I was making for a group. I mixed up the dough the night before, covered well and refrigerated. I let the dough rest 1 hour in the morning, shaped, let rise and baked. Perfect. I loved that the amount of icing was perfect (not scant). I’ll make these again…and again….!! Here’s a photo after the rising/ready to bake. Thank you, Jenny!”

– Well this answers the “can I double the recipe?” question! Thank you for the photo and especially for sharing your details. – jenny

“Super easy and turned out amazing. Chewy as promised. I added a handful of dry blueberry and chocolate chips. This is a keeper :)”

– Isn’t everything better with chocolate chips? 🙂 Thank you for your photo. – jenny

“So very tasty!  My husband and I enjoyed a bite while it was still hot.  Yummy!!  We tried it with my homemade fig preserves and ….oh my the goodness. Thank you Jenny because you have given me the confidence to make bread. I have never made cinnamon rolls before so I was a little hesitant.  I must say “I’m a BOSS”!  These are delicious.  Thank you for all the delicious recipes and the videos.  I make your bread all the time and my husband loves it!!! Blessings.”

– Thank you for your photos. Everything you made looks incredibly tasty, especially all the frosting on those cinnamon rolls! 😋–  jenny

“Hi, Jenny!! Your Whole wheat dinner rolls. I followed the recipe precisely, with a handful of grains and seeds added. They are soooo good! Thank you! ~ Charmaine (Netherlands).”

– What a great idea to add grains and seeds. Thank you for these great photos! –  jenny

“Thank you so much for this quick bread recipe. It was easy to make. The only thing I changed was that I added 2 teaspoons of salt instead of one. A friend mentioned that she did a recipe (not this one) and it used 1 teaspoon of salt and it came out bland. So I decided to add the extra salt and all I can say is YUMMY.  Thanks again!”

– That looks fantastic! Thank you so much for the photo and for the reminder that you can use more salt. –  jenny

“I always have to double any of your recipes because they are so good & healthy! Thank you 🙏.  Doubled these muffins this morning and I use a little cinnamon (I love cinnamon) and I use walnuts for a little healthier nut. GREAT 👍😊
Jim – 77 years young.”

– Thank you for your photo and for sharing your details. I sometimes use a mix of pecans & walnuts. –  jenny (- 75 years young)

“Hi Jenny, Greetings from Poland. I made the delicious lemon blueberry muffins and they came out great. Thanks for your recipe. Really easy to follow.. Best regards, Agnieszka.”

– I’m so excited to see my recipe made in Poland! Your photos are beautiful. Dziękuję bardzo. Twoje babeczki są piękne. –  jenny

“My contribution to your wonderful recipes.  It reminded me of the fantastic bread I eat when in France.  I baked it in my antique French cast iron Dutch oven! What a treat and even with garlic cloves folded in before rising it is supremely delicious. ❤️ Thanks for sharing this recipe Jenny. 😍”

– That looks divine and I love the idea of adding garlic. I would use that to make “double” garlic bread!  –  jenny

“Hi Jenny I made your Braided Cinnamon Raisin Bread and it turned out wonderful as usual. A friend of mine was a little down and out so I thought I would cheer her up with one of your fabulous recipes and it certainly brightened her day.  As I mentioned before, baked goods work wonders to lift spirits and I thank you for sharing your talents with all of us.  If you look to the left of the picture almost at the top you will see a beautiful bumblebee collecting pollen.  I wasn’t the only one that was busy working.  I had great company.  Take care.
Mil from Canada.”

– Thank you very much for another lovely photo and for making your friend (and your bee) very happy. –  jenny

“Hi Jenny. I live in the UK and this is the first time I have cooked using cups. Look ok. I used foil backed parchment to make the tin smaller as the smallest I had was 10×10 inches. ~ Su.”

“Hi Jenny:  I made your Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies but instead of using chocolate chips and because I didn’t have pecans, I doubled up and used toasted walnuts.  As is true for all your recipes they are so good and so easy to make. I just love to bake and the summer for me is the best time to bake. I don’t work through the summer so I indulge in my love of baking. Truth be told, I share a lot more than I keep. Baked goods are gifts that seem to put smiles on people’s faces which in turn makes the baker happy. Thank you, thank you for sharing your recipes. ~ Mil from Canada.”
