CLAUDIA MADE MY FLATBREAD
“Making your blueberry muffins for breakfast with some Maine cranberries as family visiting for a week! And your flatbread! Easy and yum! Perfect first breakfast. Thank you, Claudia.“
– You just made me hungry! Your flatbread looks delicious and I love all those toasty grill spots. – jenny
IRENE MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

SUE MADE MY NO KNEAD FRUIT & NUT BREAD
“I used your recipe today and it turned out great. I tossed in some pine nuts, which I wanted to use up, and some pumpkin seeds…..I added just a little bit of water. This is a wonderful recipe. It makes a beautiful and satisfying loaf of healthy bread. I am looking forward to making it again.“
– Sue, your bread looks incredible – I wished mine looked that good. Thank you so much for sharing. – jenny
IRIS MADE MY 2-HOUR NO KNEAD BREAD
“Total success. My husband is asking for this to be baked for him forever … No more bought bread he says.“
– Iris, I can see why he said that. Your loaf looks beautiful! Thank you for the photo. – jenny
Summer blueberries are in season so I’m loving this easy recipe for what I’ve decided to call “Blueberry Breakfast Cake.” It’s not too sweet, easy to make, no mixer is needed, and there are different options for the top. Along with my usual breakfast of a hard-boiled egg and toast, I’ve been enjoying a slice of this breakfast cake for dessert. Blueberries are considered brain food so I’m hoping this helps me for the number of times I walk into a room and forget why I went there! 😀 Click here for the recipe.
👩🍳 NEW RECIPE:👩🍳I hate cooked spinach, always have. It just tasted slimy and I would prefer a can of sardines (with the heads!) than eat cooked spinach. But spinach has so many health benefits, I had to find a way to incorporate it into my cooking and here it is: wilted spinach! It’s not slimy. Baby spinach softens up quickly when it’s steamed and that’s what I do here. I cook the chicken and pasta and then just steam the spinach on top for two minutes and now, I eat spinach all the time!
You know how they always say, “Eat leafy greens?” 🥬 Make this recipe and you’ll be supporting your heart, brain, eyes, bones, blood pressure, and digestion, And spinach is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, plus folic acid, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium and more.
Com’on! Get on the spinach train like me! 🚂 Click here for the recipe.
Is anyone else tired of cleaning your garlic press? Or of chopping garlic? I know I am. I cook with garlic all the time and I saw a great tip on a better way to use garlic. All you do is add a whole peeled garlic clove directly into your pan while cooking. You’ll still get plenty of garlic flavor without the mess. Once your recipe is done, simply remove and discard the garlic. I forgot once and ate the whole thing but that’s okay – you’ll gets lots of health benefits, just maybe not a lot of close-up friends!
Many recipes start with sautéing onions and garlic and so you sauté them together. I actually put my olive oil and garlic clove in my pan and start to heat it up. Once the garlic starts to sizzle, I add the onions and away I go. Another benefit of this method is that your garlic won’t burn so easily. Actually, mine has never burned this way, probably because it’s whole and not chopped fine or crushed. I’ve been using garlic this way for months with chili, one-pan pasta dishes, rice, and spaghetti sauce, and thought I would share this will my follow cooks.

ALEXIS (from New Jersey) MADE MY EASY CRISPY FOCACCIA
“Hi Jenny, This is in response to my February 9, 2025 post. You wanted me to report back to you after I made your crispy focaccia in a pre-heated cast-iron skillet. I have made it three times since I posted, and I can actually say, it is phenomenal! My husband says that this is his favorite of all the breads I have made. I tend to agree. I did turn my cast-iron skillets over when I was preheating them, which gave them extra conditioning. I doubled the recipe, and made one in a 10 inch skillet, and the other one in a 12 inch skillet. Both turned out fabulous! I also added some Italian seasoning and fresh rosemary in the batter, as well as chopped rosemary only on the top with the sea salt and olive oil. Thanks again for such a mouthwatering recipe! ~ Alexis G from NJ.“
– Alexis, thank you so much for sending your photos. Now we all know these can turn out beautifully in a cast iron pan.– jenny
SHANNON MADE MY EASY ONE-BOWL YELLOW CAKE
“Thank you so much for this recipe! I followed it to the letter, adding the salt as suggested. The cake baked beautifully – golden, with a light crumb and not overly sweet. The cake is petite – just the right size for a small birthday party of 6-8 people. I will make this recipe again.”
– That is so pretty! The scalloped plate, colored sprinkles and candles – I love it! Happy Birthday to the lucky guest of honor. 🎈– jenny
DEBORAH MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS
(no message)
– Thank you for your photo. As it turns out, I just made my own crusty rolls today! – jenny
NEW RECIPE:Do you like chocolate? Do you like coffee? How about molasses? Okay… maybe not as a snack, but you need it to make this classic and delicious pumpernickel bread. And now you can make it at home in a Dutch oven with no kneading! My husband loves this bread and even uses it for peanut butter sandwiches. It’s super easy to make and the complex flavor that comes from the coffee, chocolate, molasses, and some rye flour makes a really tasty loaf.
There are two ways to make this recipe. One is the fast way using warm liquids and that takes about 4 1/2 hours of time. The other way is the long overnight way, using cool water. You put it together at night and bake in the morning. I have used both methods and cannot tell the difference in the results.
And for the record, I love molasses and sometimes just have a spoonful or two for the numerous health benefits, including iron, calcium, and magnesium. If you want an easy way to make homemade pumpernickel bread, click here for the recipe.

BETH (from Canada) MADE MY OATMEAL MUFFINS
“Hi Jenny from snowmageddon Ontario. I made your new oatmeal muffin recipe last evening as the snow was falling. We love them so much I made a double batch (12) this morning. I added orange zest and raisens. A delicious snack in between shovelling, snowblowing and country skiing. Thanks for this 6 muffin recipe. I don’t always want to make a big batch. ~ Beth from Southwestern Ontario.“
– I’m so glad you like these muffins and thank you for the great photo. As for the other photo, it brings back memories of my growing up in southwestern Ontario (London) and seeing those huge piles of snow. It was play time! ☃️ – jenny
MOLLY MADE MY SOFT OATMEAL COOKIES NO BUTTER
“I tried your recipe. The cookies turned out great, not too sweet. I added walnuts to them for a healthier punch to them. I tried your instructions first and they came out more like a ball instead of a bit more flat like a cookie. So on my second batch I flatten them with the bottom of a glass. I dipped the bottom of the glass in water so the batter wouldn’t stick. They came out fantastic.“
– Molly, thank you for your photo. And thank you for the tip on dipping the glass in water to flatten. That sounds easier than my using a wet fork. 🙂– jenny
RENATE MADE MY CRUNCHY OATMEAL BANANA MUFFINS
“Thanks for the recipe, it’s sooooo goooooood! Have a good day ~ Renate.”

DAVID MADE MY SPLIT PEA SOUP
“I have the flu right now and my appetite is limited so I was looking for split pea soup that wouldn’t be overwhelming. This recipe came out perfect. The ingredient measurements were spot on. I used chicken broth in place of the water and added a couple of peeled/diced baby Yukon Gold potatoes. After running it through the strainer I added a tablespoon of butter and 2 Tbsp. of white wine, then simmered it for another 10 minutes. It came out delicious, beyond my expectations. This is my go to recipe from now on, 5 stars!”

I love how healthy this recipe is and so enjoy your videos and recipes. Thanks for sharing the love. ~ Jenny in NC.”

Wondering why you aren’t getting notices? That’s because I haven’t sent any! I’m busier now than I’ve ever been and can’t figure out why. I’m supposed to be retired. There are so many new recipes I want to share but there’s always something else I need to do… like making all of our meals from scratch, then cooking for the hummingbirds (every day!), grocery shopping, laundry, stretching and exercise, daily walks, counting grey hairs, tweezing, inspecting, “Is that a mole or skin cancer?” “Where did this bruise come from?” “What’s that thing on my foot?” “What happened to the hair on my legs?” These things take time.
For these reasons and others too embarrassing to explain, I have removed the “subscribe” button. It’s a complicated process to send those notifications. I will continue to post new recipes when I can but you will only see them if you occasionally check back. Every new recipe will always be posted here in the blog, just like my new apple bread.
I’m really happy that so many of you are continuing to enjoy my recipes. Did I mention that trying to do your own highlights takes a lot longer than you’d think? 😀
“It’s Sunday morning and I just finished baking these muffins. Haven’t tried yet but they look perfect. Easy recipe, I got eight.”
– They look perfect. My stepmother used to love these muffins and I do too with that crunchy top. Thank you for your photo. – jenny
LIANA MADE MY HOMEMADE BUNS
“I’ve been making your bread recipes for about a year now. I’ve never been a baker and bread was always something I wished I could make but just could never get it right. It wasn’t until I saw your video on your simple white/whole wheat bread that I gave it another try. I’ve now even started experimenting with adding seeds and grains and have never been disappointed. My latest is homemade buns to go with a yummy pot of Chile for dinner tonight. Once again – turned out perfect!!! Thanks Jenny!”
– Liana, these rolls look delicious. I don’t see any reason to eat chili unless you have a “dunking roll!” 😋 – jenny
HEATHER (from New York) MADE MY RICE PUDDING

GUY MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD
“I’m a sourdough baker, but sometimes I just don’t have the time that it takes to ferment a sourdough. Your 2 Hour No-knead bread is my go to for when I need a quick loaf. It always turns out great, never disappoints. I added sesame seeds to this which gives the bread a delicious nutty flavor. Thank you for this great recipe. Anyone who believes that they can’t make bread should definitely try this!”
– Wow, that is a gorgeous loaf of bread right there. I love sesame seeds and never thought to add it to this bread, but I will now. Thank you! – jenny
ALLY MADE MY FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS
“Totally love all of the recipes on Jenny Can Cook. Here is a picture of my ribs, I went for an Asian inspired flavor by adding Chinese All Spice instead of chili powder. Came out like Jenny made them. My glaze was made from a homemade teriyaki, sugar and rice wine reduced. Thank you for the inspiration!”
– Ally, these ribs look amazing! What a great idea to go Asian. Thank you for sharing the details and for this great photo. – jenny
AMANDA MADE MY “BLUE RIBBON” NO KNEAD BREAD
