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.
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) 🇨🇦
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. – jenny
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. – jenny

– Thank you for your photo. I’m glad to know your bread was a hit! – jenny
NEW 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 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. 😉”

BEV (from Canada) MADE MY CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD & OATMEAL COOKIES
“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)”

DALILA MADE MY SPROUTED WHEAT BREAD
“Good morning Ms. Jenny! ☀️ I hope you and Denis are well and are getting comfy in your new home. The weather is taking a turn and I can say Fall is here for sure….LOL!To get into Fall foods I did make your Easy Pumpkin Bars again, unfortunately no picture. They disappeared soooo fast……again…..everyone loves them! I’ll have to make more pumpkin bars and try to keep everyone’s grubby hands off….LOL! I also made your Lightened Up Pumpkin Cheesecake….DEEEEE-LISH!! Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes! I truly enjoy looking through your blog to pick out recipes to make. Your recipes ALWAYS work out for me, they are definite winners in my kitchen.
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.”

DIANNA MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS
“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!”

My homemade apple pie is a special treat, which I don’t make very often. Usually, it requires a special occasion and today I washed my hair so I needed to make an apple pie! 🙂 Granny Smith apples are my fruit of choice and I always use a full three pounds! Whoever invented the phrase, “easy as pie,” must have meant the eating part. Making pie, especially apple pie with all the chopping, is not easy but it’s worth every minute! 🍏 It makes an incredible homemade gift but I’ve never been able to let one go.

CARMEN MADE MY 2-HOUR NO KNEAD BREAD
“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
JIM MADE MY CRUNCHY OATMEAL BANANA MUFFINS

“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. 😍”

MIL (from Canada) MADE MY BRAIDED CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD
“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.”

SU (from the UK) MADE MY LEMON BROWNIES
“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.”
– This is a great idea for making a pan smaller. Thank you for the tip and for the photo. It turned out perfectly. – jenny
MIL (from Canada) MADE MY ALMOND FLOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
“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.”
– Thanks so much for your photo. I’m a bit relieved to know you are sharing all these things you so beautifully bake! 🙂 – jenny
My pic of the month is from Mil in Canada. She used my Crispy Apple Tart recipe using fresh peaches and it looks so good! At first I thought it was an apple tart but when I saw it was made with peaches, well I’ll be trying my own version with peaches next time. “The tart tastes fabulous and the apricot jam coating on top just elevates it even more,” said Mil. Her tart looks like a very expensive dessert at a fancy restaurant, doesn’t it? Thank you, Mil, for your inspirational photo.
I picked this photo of my Easter Bunny Buns because it made me smile right away and also it reminded me that it doesn’t have to be Easter to make these adorable (and delicious) buns. The picture was sent in by Sandy, who made them for her grandchildren. She said they “absolutely loved them!” And so do I. 🐰❤️🐰

CHARMAINE (from The Netherlands) MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
“I doubled the recipe (except the yeast and salt) and used amounts of whole wheat, white spelt and AP flour as I had available. This was the easiest bread recipe I have ever worked with! I have been baking bread for the last 10 years. I only use store bought when in a pinch. You can imagine I’ve tried a lot of recipes, over the years. I’d finally settled on a very popular (Allrecipes) recipe. Though the flavor of that bread is good and it’s full of grains, it’s very time consuming and my results have not been consistent. So, I searched and saw the pic of your bread and, it looked so perfect, I decided to try it. I followed the recipe but added a variety of grains and seeds. This is the best rise I have ever gotten (looks exactly like the picture) and the loaves are so flavorful. The texture is perfect. Absolutely delicious! Needless to say, this is a keeper and will be my recipe of choice, going forward. Thank you for the wonderful, perfect recipe! ~ Charmaine S., The Netherlands.” 🇳🇱
– Your variation sounds really good. Thank you for the photo and for sharing your details.– jenny
MIL (from Canada) MADE MY LEMON MERINGUE PIE

SARAH (from West Africa) MADE MY ONE BOWL YELLOW CAKE
“Dear Miss Jones, I wanted to share not only my picture of your One Bowl Yellow Cake, but also the story behind my making it. Since January, I have been in West Africa on a mission trip. I work a good deal in the kitchen and needed a simple cake recipe, preferably without butter, (we don’t have that around much), without a lot of eggs and which wouldn’t change too much if I used another flavor than vanilla (which we don’t have). Your oil cake was perfect. We were wanting a cake with Malibu rum, so I replaced the vanilla with that. I doubled the recipe to make it two layers, but had to do one 8″ and one 9″ layer, since we only had one of each size pan — you get creative in Africa! For the bottom (9”) layer, I placed sliced bananas in the bottom of the pan before I poured in the batter.
They turned out fabulously! Not perfectly shaped (from using parchment paper instead of grease) and one was a little slanted (the oven is gas, so who knows what happened), but they were so light and spongy! (Our baking powder cones in packets here and I wasn’t sure how much was in each one; I put two in the batter, so maybe that’s why they were so light!) The bottom of the 9″ layer turned into the middle of the cake; I brushed the layers with more Malibu and made a flour frosting, again with the Malibu, to cover it, and decorated it with more sliced bananas. I wanted to make a coconut-flavored sugar glaze to drizzle around the edges, but it turned I sugar, so I broke it up and sprinkled it on top. Yesterday, I made it again, this time with strawberry flavoring, strawberry frosting, and chocolate hazelnut spear and caramelized bananas between the layers. Two pictures are attached; thank you for your fabulous recipe, which can even be made in the rainforest! Sincerely, Sarah McDonald.”
– What a great story! Thank you for sharing it along with these wonderful photos! – jenny

– Thank you for this photo. I’ve seen quite a few people use this seasoning on my breads. – jenny
SHEINAGH MADE MY PACZKI
“I made these today and Oh My! This recipe is excellent. I don’t have a piping bag yet so I sliced the bun 2/3rds through, put strawberry jam inside then a pile of fresh whipped creme. They remained me of the creme buns of my youth, when I was a child in Australia. I now believe that the Polish bakers must have started the creme bun craze there. Delicious. I will not be needing supper.”
– You might want to skip supper tomorrow too! 😀 Wow! They do look amazing! Thank you for the photo. – jenny

YI LIN (from Malaysia) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“The first two pictures are the unsuccessful ones. The second two are the good ones. I tried this a few times and got very wet dough and uncooked interiors. Then I changed the water-to-flour ratio to 80% and I got it! Bubbles after the first proof, drier and easier to handle dough, air pockets and dry inside the bread after cooked and cooled completely! I live in Malaysia so the flours I get are of different compositions. The all purpose flour here has very low protein content, about 9% and bread flour is higher. So I mixed the both. I put about 70g all purpose and 290g japanese bread flour with 288 ml water. To improve the bread taste, you can leave the dough longer (4 hours) in room temperature (here is about 32 Celsius). I discovered this coincidentally. Happy that I managed to make a bread from scratch! Thanks! I have enjoyed this bread making challenge. Best regards, Yi Lin.”

BERNIE MADE MY HOT DOG BUNS
“Hi, Jenny. Long time fan. My wife says I like you better than I like her. On some days, I must say… well… never mind. I made your hot dog buns this weekend. I ran out of eggs so didn’t do the egg wash. They didn’t look as pretty as yours but they were delicious. I used them to make Connecticut (aka “hot”) lobster rolls, which we much prefer to the cold lobster rolls with mayo dressing. Anyway, the rolls were perfect for these!”
– I’m calling these “Lobster Dogs.” 😀 It’s good to know these hot dog buns are not just for weenies! – jenny
Cooking is fun. Moving is not. We’ve been looking for a long time and I finally found a dream kitchen that I want to cook in so we’re getting ready to move. I don’t remember the rest of the house but it had a bunch of rooms so I’m sure it’s going to be good. 😀 I’m excited about my new kitchen but it will take time to set things up just right so you won’t see any new recipes for a while. I’ll still be checking in every day as usual, posting your photos and answering questions when I can.
I’ve learned a few things while packing to move:
I don’t wear belts any more.
I thought I was doing a better job of dusting.
There may be a family of squirrels living in our garage.
A man can be emotionally attached to a broken vacuum hose.
