Hey there foodie!

I’m Jenni!

As a mama of three young girls, I totally understand weeknight dinner chaos.

But I also know you can only eat chicken nuggets so many times…

I’m here to make sure your dinner is easy but doesn’t lack the flavor you want!

I am passionate about raising kids who are adventurous eaters through quick and delicious weeknight meals inspired by global cuisine!

Here you will find recipes that are fun and flavorful, along with all the tips and tricks your family needs to actually enjoy your dinner together – so you can get back to connecting over great food instead of bribing your kids to take a bite.
