PAUL (from the UK) MADE MY NO YEAST BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Hope you are keeping well, here in the UK it’s quarantine baking time! Luckily I have no shortage of yeast as I buy small tubs and keep them in the fridge, we’ve been making lots of no-knead but thought I would give your no-yeast a try. Buttermilk is not a staple here so I used the 1tbs vinegar topped up to a cup with milk. Also had to add extra flour as I often find our plain flour is less absorbent. Turned out great (as usual with a JCC recipe), here it is, still warm with a bit of Marmite. Thanks again for your time and passion in bringing us these fantastic recipes. ~ Paul.”

LISA MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Thanks for the recipe! Need new pants for my growing waistline after finding this recipe! ?”

SALLY MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS

PAT (from California) MADE MY PUMPKIN PIE

“Hi Jenny! I’m new to your website and your cooking.  Today my sister sent me the video where you make your pumpkin pie that EVERYONE loves.  We don’t use milk so I substituted soy milk for the regular milk in the dough.  The pie just came out of the oven and is cooling.  We’ll have a piece later this evening.  Thank you for recipes and videos.  You are so much fun to watch and your joke at the end of the video had me in stitches.  Just what I needed after so many weeks “sheltering in place”.  ? Pat Moore, California.”

GAIL (from Canada) MADE MY BEEF STEW

“Hi Jenny, Really enjoy your style of cooking. Simplicity married to nutritious makes perfectly delicious foods. Love it! Here is a photo of your Beef Stew recipe made in my cast iron pan with a heavy lid. It is great comfort food during the lockdown. Having difficulty making bread.

GERT MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD (using Swiss Ruchflour)

“Hello Jenny, my name is Gert, I’m a physician and I come from Innsbruck/Austria. I’m baking bread regularly since my father was a baker and I grew up in a bakery near the lake of constance. I found your video of making “No Knead Bread” on YouTube and immediately knew that I want to try your recipe with my favourite flour which originally comes from Switzerland.It’s called „Ruchmehl” and is pretty popular there. Since we all live under quarantine-conditions in the moment I unfortunately cannot let my partner Alex, who is living not far from you (Kitchener/ON) try the result of my baking (I made it in a wok, as you can see) right away. But the time will come when I will be able to visit Canada again and I would be pleased to meet you then. Thank you so much Jenny for your amazing recipes, sincerely yours, Gert Grubwieser, MD, DMD.”

KARIM MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“I made the whole wheat bread recipe with a twist : I added Rosemary, Black Pepper, Dried Basil and Dried Thyme to it and it came out D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S !!! My house smelled amazing the whole day (and night) and my oven is now perfumed. Thanks Jenny !”

JILL MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“I am a dessert baker, but baking bread has been on my bucket list. After seeing your recipe, I felt as though this was something I could do. Finding yeast doing a Pandemic was another thing! As a last resort, I called a Cake store where I buy pans and cupcake liners and they had it. After seeing three small packs on eBay for almost $50.00, I had no idea what to expect. When the store owner told me the yeast was in a one-pound bag, I was hoping it would not be astronomical. $3.69 later, I was on my way to the Italian store to buy corn meal. Shortly thereafter, the following came out of my oven!”

My cooking project today was not one but two loaves of your delicious whole wheat bread – one to eat and one to freeze. Again, so easy and straightforward. We can’t wait to eat up the yummy results.

DOMINIQUE (from Florida) MADE MY PAN PIZZA

DEB (from Indiana) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

DOUG MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

~ I think it looks awesome, with beautiful cracks and your additions were perfect. – jenny

JERRI-LEE MADE MY SOFT OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

“Thank you for your excellent recipe Jenny. I utilised both wholewheat and white flour, incorporated flaxseed and barley. As I am diabetic I substituted sugar with watermelon in one batch. My hubby loves  both batches  and demolished them with English Cheddar Cheese. Thank you so much for the quarrantine treats. ~ Jerri-Lee Lovell-Barrow (Mrs.).”

~ I’m glad you were able to adjust them to your needs. Thank you for your photo. – jenny

ASHLEY (from Germany) MADE MY QUICK & EASY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hi Jenny! We are from the U.S., but currently stationed in Germany. I made your Quick & Easy Chocolate Cake this afternoon and it was a total hit! I only have two small 6 inch cake pans, so I divided the batter as evenly as possible, used your frosting in between the layers, and voila! We are down to 4 eggs on day 30 of our quarantine, and I have to say, we didn’t miss the egg or butter one bit—your recipe is absolutely decadent! Best wishes to you and your family—stay healthy! ~ Ashley Andrade.”

~ My cake is in Germany! Does that make it a “German Chocolate Cake?” ? – jenny

ENZA (& her 11-year old daughter) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS  & PACZKI

~ Everything looks great. Congrats to your daughter for learning how to bake. ~ jenny

DOMINIQUE (from Florida) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hi Jenny, I just made your chocolate cake and it’s DELICIOUS!  A few modifications–1 c. coffee instead of water,  semi-sweet chocolate chips added to the batter,  substituted Kahlua for the vanilla in the icing (I ran out). Anyway, it turned out great.  Thanks for a quick and easy cake recipe. ~ Dominique, From Sunny Florida.”

~ Thank you for your photo. A few other people have also used coffee – sounds good! ~ jenny

PAUL (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny..again, yr no knead bread is a most wonderful & quick recipe that you have shared. In my latest baking, instead of using (hot) tap water, I substituted the saved (reheated) water from boiling potatoes. The starch from the potatoes added a “nice” flavour to the no knead bread & created a most delicious bread. I used my Kitchen Aid cast iron pot (fm CTC) but upped yr ingredients to 1 1/3 times eg 4 cups flour, 2 C potatoe water etc to fill my oval pot. Ciao fm Kitchener.”

~ What a great idea to use potato water. Thank you from a fellow Canuk. ?? ~ jenny

LINDA (from California) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD, CHOCOLATE CAKE & PAN PIZZA

“Hi Jenny, I was lucky enough to come across your cooking videos on YouTube – I’ve always loved your humor!  Made the bread in my tiny 2.5-quart dutch oven and it still turned out great.  My son and I made your pizza dough but forgot it was proofing it the cold oven when he turned it on to pre-heat for making cookies.  Tried again and the pizza was the best pan pizza we have ever had!  My daughter made your chocolate cake last night and I’m surprised there is that one piece left today.  We are definitely making pizza again tomorrow.  Thank you for the yummy recipes and the fun you put into sending them out there! ~ Linda Mo, from Nipomo, California.”

~ Wow, you have been busy. Thank you very much. Stay well. ~ jenny

LAURA (from California) MADE MY FOCACCIA BREAD

“Hi Jenny, Here is a photo of the Focaccia Bread I made. I made one last night and ate it so fast I forgot to take pictures. It was so good I made another one today. Thank you for the easy recipe. I also have your deep dish pizza dough proofing for tonight. Sheltering at home in Santa Maria, California.”

~ Focaccia is one of my favorites. Thanks so much for your photo. ~ jenny

CAROL MADE MY ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hi Jenny, I made your chocolate zucchini cake recipe. I tweaked it, using half a cup of coconut flour in place of regular flour. I think my zucchini was a bit dry and added a couple of tablespoons of water. I think I might add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to add a little more moisture to the mix. Or serve with a dollop of whip cream or vanilla ice cream. I also used a bundt pan – will need to double the recipe to have it a traditional size bundt cake. Mine is a little shorty as you can see! You’re the best – thanks for sharing your wit and recipes! Be safe. Best regards, Carol Hemingway aka Daisy likes to cook.”

ANDREW (from the UK) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD & CHICKEN POT PIE

“Dear Jenny, I stumbled across your site looking for bread recipes and in two days I have tried two things, both have worked out brilliantly.  And your videos are such fun to watch too, as well as being informative and helpful.  Sorry that that Chicken Pot Pie is not in the right sort of dish, but it still worked brilliantly in this small baking tray, with no overflowing sauce, and with the pastry just plonked on top!  Hope you are staying well during the crazy Coronavirus times.”

~ Thank you for these inspiring photos. It’s good to know that the pot pie works in other shapes just as well. ?~ jenny

9-YEAR OLD SVEA (from Minnesota) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hello!  My mother in law recently sent me your recipe for bread that I will try. My 9 year old (Svea) has been baking up a storm since the quarantine began.  Her first recipe was your chocolate cake and frosting.  It was fabulous and it disappeared quickly! ~ Amy, Lakeville, MN.”

~ WOW! I Love Love Love this photo and to know that Svea has a love for baking is wonderful!! Svea, keep it up – I can see your family is so proud of you and so am I that you chose my recipe. I look forward to your next creation. ❤️ ~ jenny

FRAN (from Georgia) MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD & APPLE PIE

“I Think it’s the Aldi Yeast ?- Well, bummer.  I have tried Whole Foods to Fresh Market, Publix to Kroger, Sprouts to Walmart, Target, and beyond.  NO yeast to be found, but finally found some at Aldi. Alas, no Gelson’s here and I don’t know if this yeast is old because the date is funky plus it’s made in Turkey!  Oy vey. Anyhoo, this is the wheat bread rise after 45 minutes.  Bummer! What a waste. Thanks Jennie… love your recipes, especially your apple pie! – Fran Russell.”

~ Oh, I’m so sorry. I feel your pain, I really do. My only suggestion is to proof the yeast (google “how to proof yeast” and maybe it will be good and something else was the problem, possibly the liquid wasn’t warm enough. Meantime, you could still leave it out overnight to see if it rises (nothing to lose). ?~ jenny“Well, it’s a miracle! I thought my low rising dough might be a throw away, then saw again that the bread rises a lot in the oven. So I tossed it in.  Indeed! I’ve never baked before quarantining, and it’s a miracle!  Family favorite?  Apple pie, but they haven’t tried this amazing 90 minute wheat bread! Thanks again Jenny! ~ Fran Russell.”

Wow, that’s great news. I’m so glad to hear it. You just proved that we should always trust a good recipe and keep going. I’m so happy for you! ?? – jenny“I only had a 10 inch pie plate so stretched the dough to make it fit for this fabulous apple pie.  My family’s favorite thing I’ve ever made with just the right amount of sugar and cinnamon/nutmeg.  I really needed the instructions on the apple piece size.  Thank you Jenny! – Fran.” (Your pie is perfect! – jenny)

HOLLY MADE MY CHICKEN POT PIE

“I made this this morning and will have it for lunch…anyone know how to reheat it?? I’m assuming put it back in the oven at 350 might work (?) Thanks you Jenny…your recipes are the best ?”

~ What a beautiful pie, thank you! I reheat by putting foil inside the pan and pushing it up against the exposed  filling so the filling stays put,  and I leave the top crust exposed. I put it in a 350 oven but don’t remember for how long. I hope that makes sense.  ~ jenny

KATHRYN (from Texas) MADE MY FOCACCIA BREAD

“Hi Jenny, Here’s a pic of my Focaccia bread that I tried today. It turned out great. All I had was AP flour. I’m here in Texas sheltering in place, I do not work for Morton salt…lol.”

~ I just made some yesterday. Yours looks nice and crispy. Thank you!  ~ jenny

I am thrilled every time someone sends a photo of one of my recipes. My favorite this week is from Valerie, who staged a beautiful table to show off her quick & easy chocolate cake. Actually she made two, one with sugar and one with splenda and she noted that they, “seemed the same in texture and flavor.” Good to know. Thank you, Valerie.

DOMINIQUE MADE MY CABBAGE ROLLS

“Dear Jenny, These were AMAZING!  I used cabbage from my husband’s garden and fresh tomatoes as well.  My family loved it.  The pic is taken before they were baked in the oven.  Love the tip for placing cabbage leaves on top before baking.  They were so moist and yummy. Thanks for the great recipe. ~ Dominique. Btw, I am half Polish. ?”

~ I can only imagine how great these would be with fresh garden cabbage. Thank you very much. ~ jenny

JOAN MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“This is the bread, just out of the oven.  I have had so many failures with bread baking that I gave up for years.  And then I saw your recipe.  It came out beautifully, but I would like it a little browned on top.  I will not tent it with foil until maybe the last five minutes.  I also split the top and drizzled a little butter, resulting in a moist, flavorful bread.  Thank you, thank you!”

~ Thank you for your photo and I’m glad you got your bread mojo back! ? ~ jenny

These are just some of the recipes that I have either improved or simplified since they were originally posted. I’m always learning and improving my skills so if anyone is using a recipe that was posted a while ago or if you printed it some time ago, please check the “Recipe Changes/Fixes” category in my blog.

So far I have made changes to about 100 recipes but many of the changes are minor, like increasing salt or reducing sugar but others, like my 15-Minute Veggie Pasta, now use an easier, faster, all-in-one-pan method. I’m always looking for ways to make something healthier or faster or to simplify the process so every time I cook, if I try a better way and it works, I adjust the recipe and share the exact changes I made in the blog.

I encourage all of my regular cooks to occasionally check the “Recipe Changes” category here in my blog to make sure you are using the newest and best version of each recipe. As I evolve as a better (& simpler) cook, I will continue to occasionally update my recipes. To see if any changes were made to your favorite recipes, click here.

How exciting to see that my recipes are being made all over the world! I appreciate it when someone takes the time to send a photo and I love knowing where you are from. Please send your photo to: YourPhotos@JennyCanCook.com

They are all gone now and my poor hubby who has to deal with my baking disasters is actually all smiles now. I just wanted to say Hi and Thank you from Prescott, Arizona.

I did triple the recipe for my big family and they were a huge hit!! I look forward to making many additional meals from your site and channel. Thanks, Ryan.”

~ Thank you for the photo. They look perfect and it’s good to know you can triple the recipe.~ jenny

MJ MADE MY MARBLE LOAF CAKE

 “Jenny, I just had to let your fans know what an amazing cake this is! I used a 7” angel food cake pan (odd size I know but perfect for loaf cakes!). I made the cake exactly as instructed with the addition of orange zest as you suggested. I covered it with chocolate ganache made with chocolate chips and evaporated milk instead of cream – oh – ONE CHANGE – the chocolate swirl was 1/3 cup melted chocolate chips + batter. The cake rose beautifully and it is so tender and moist with a delicate crumb. THANK YOU!”

~ I agree that orange zest is a great addition to this cake and that ganache topping looks yummy.~ jenny

MICHELLE (from Virginia) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

 “Jenny, Thank you so much for all your recipes on Youtube- I made this bread tonight and it was a hit with me and my husband. Gonna make your cinnamon rolls this weekend. Thank you for making it not so scary to bake! I usually burn rolls – so it was a double celebration when I didn’t burn this bread! PS- you might want to do a quick video on YouTube and just direct everyone to your website, I thought you had stopped doing videos and was so sad- but saw someone else say they wished you would start your channel back up and another commented that you had your website! So glad I re-found you!! ? thank you again- from Virginia- Michelle.”

~ Thanks so much for your photos. I can almost taste that slice with the butter! ?~ jenny

LARRY (from Illinois) MADE MY CARROT CAKE

 “Greetings from (K) Larry in Illinois. First cake I’ve ever made and it came out great! I’ve made quite a few of your recipes now and was getting a little over confidant. I tried a few from other sites and failed! Thank You ……..yours are well thought out, clearly explained and proven. This has been a fun journey for an old guy! Yours have only failed because of me having a “senior moment” !!!! ~ Larry.”

~ Your cake looks great. Thank you for the photo. “Senior moment” huh? I know all about those. ?~ jenny

LARRY (from Illinois) MADE MY APPLE PIE BARS & PACZKI

 “Greetings from Illinois. Made the apple pie bars the other day. Tasted great! and only have 1 piece left. …….used a round pan and mine looked more like a pie.  Thanks for the recipe! and I got 2 thumbs up from 2 really good cooks! ~ Larry”

~ Thank you for your photos and I’m glad you’re having fun. Thumbs up from me, too – I love these bars (aka pie!). ~ jenny

“Greetings from Illinois! Just finished another batch of PP. Turned out great again. And I am really having FUN! I over filled  one of the doughnut molds (on purpose) with the Pączki dough and it looked almost like a muffin with a small hole on top. Filled a silicone sphere ice cube mold with the dough (just a little too much) and apple butter…….it was almost round. It started to push the 2 molds apart and come out the top. These shot glass molds were frozen/ a mix of oats and ground coffee. Tried to bake them later but they slumped. (but didn’t blow up) Haven’t tried the PP dough in the shot glass molds yet,but I did try the red velvet cup cakes (tasted great!) but couldn’t get them out of the mold in one piece. ~ (K) Larry

KRISTI MADE MY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

 “Loved these biscuits… Jenny can I cut them and freeze the dough ? ?Kristi Ham ?”

IAN (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

~ Now that is a handsome loaf of bread right there. Thanks from a fellow Canuck (73). ??  ~ jenny

JAMIE (from Texas) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

 “No Knead Bread … that I really need. ? Thank you, Jenny, for this recipe! This is my second loaf, and I have the dough for a third one sitting in a bowl on my counter. It seems to be becoming part of my nightly routine to take 5 minutes, if that, to prep the dough for dinner the next day. It’s so easy; I’m almost embarrassed for myself that I was hesitant and uncertain about whether I could make a delicious loaf of bread or not. I don’t have a Dutch oven, so I cook mine in one of my metal pots that can go into the oven as well, and with fantastic results. So yummy!” All the best, Jamie from Texas.”

~ Thanks for the photo and especially for the helpful detail about your pot. ~ jenny

PATTY MADE MY MEATLOAF

“Absolutely the best ever. Will be making this monthly. So moist and melts in your mouth. Thanks Jenny!”

~ I’m glad you like it and thank you for your terrific photo. ~ jenny

LARRY (from Illinois) MADE MY POLISH PACZKI INTO DOUGHNUTS

“Greetings from Illinois! Just finished my second batch of PP. Turned out great again. The dough is very forgiving…..they looked  “rough” going into the oven. I just got my silicone doughnut molds a couple days  ago and put some dough in one to try them out. I only filled it with apple butter on one side. It was a little thick, but I have been using a heat lamp with the fast rise yeast and getting  good results. Just did the deep dish pizza (12 hour)  start to finish in 3 hours. ~ Larry.”

~ It’s great for everyone to know that this dough works in a mold as well. Thank you for sharing this. ~ jenny

LARRY (from Illinois) MADE MY POLISH PACZKI

TABITHA (from North Carolina) MADE MY GRANOLA

“Happy New Year Jenny, I just made your granola recipe to bag up to take to work for snacking. ❤️ Tabitha from NC.”

~ Happy New Year back to you and thanks so much for starting it of with a great photo. ~ jenny

This is such a refreshing salad to serve in the summer and now is the best time to get crisp, fresh Persian cucumbers. If you can find organic cucumbers, you can just scrub them and leave the peel on. If they’re not organic, it’s best to peel them for this salad.

I slice the cucumbers very thinly, no more than 1/8 of an inch thick, and for the onion, the thinner the better as well. The dressing uses a good amount of sugar but remember that most of the dressing is not eaten. You serve this salad with a slotted spoon and leave the liquid behind so don’t fret about using a tablespoon of sugar.

If you serve this cucumber salad right away it will be quite crisp, and if you refrigerate it for an hour or more, the cucumber slices will soften and absorb a little more dressing. They are good either way but it’s best to serve this salad on the same day.

I wish everyone a fun summer with lots of good, healthy, homemade food, including this cool and crisp, cucumber salad. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

For anyone who does not have a Dutch oven but wants an easy way to make crusty homemade bread with no kneading and almost no work at all, look what I just made on a baking sheet! It was so easy and the loaf was crusty and delicious.

A Dutch oven with a lid creates steam inside the pot, which produces that crispy crust so I create steam inside the oven by placing a small 5 by 9-inch pan in the oven while it’s preheating. Then when I place the bread in to bake, I pour some boiling water into the little hot pan and whoosh – steam goes all over the place. I close the oven door right away to keep the steam inside and let it bake.

Anyone can make this easy no knead bread on a baking sheet. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
