Jenny Nicole

Hey Ciao! I’m Jenny, the creator over here at Jennyblogs. The kitchen is one of my favorite places to be, cooking up anything from my family’s recipes, to new recipes, to traditional Italian dishes. I currently live in Michigan with my husband and children, where we relocated after living in Italy for several years. My cucina is inspired by three main cultures: American, Italian, and Tunisian. I hope you’ll stick around, try some recipes, eat with your family, and enjoy a few Italian anecdotes here and there!
