Welcome to Jen Can Cook!

Hi! I’m Jen 🙂 Yes, I can cook. More importantly, I am passionate about food and its ability to create connection, adventure, and wellbeing.

So, you decided to create a website, Jen? Yes! There are thousands of food blogs, recipe sites and influencers in the culinary world. In fact, that almost stopped me from creating and following through with Jen Can Cook. I have built this website and torn it down twice. I’ve declared, “I’m back!”, only to find myself scared and intimidated by the process of hosting a website. Some of the fear has come from my discomfort with web design, even in the modern world. Another layer is the fear of putting myself out there for the world to see, being judged, creating expectations and being afraid of failure. It has taken me years of contemplation, web dreaming, design, destruction, and EVOLUTION to get to this place today. I am ready to navigate this online world, create a new relationship with social medial and OWN my impact as an “influencer” – not because I have X number of followers, but because I inspire people to get out of their comfort zones, embrace their gifts, follow their passions, cultivate courage, enhance their talents, and embrace what makes them beautifully and powerfully unique.

I am Jen Can Cook and I am here to stay! (Insert cheerleader emoji here)

I am just getting started. Next, I will share more about my vision for Jen Can Cook and what you can expect to see in the near future. Food is SO much more than just recipes. It’s the joy of eating, sharing a meal with loved ones, exploring new ingredients, growing food, using seasonal and local produce, and cultivating adventures. Y’all ready for this?!? I am 🙂
