Welcome to SpoonGood!
My name is Jenny and I love making, sharing and eating good food, from scratch. From the mud pies of my youth to family meals, cooking contests and recipe writing, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. I also dabble at gardening on one suburban acre of heaven in Georgia.
All recipes, articles and photographs are my own original content (except where credited otherwise). I'm an amateur photographer and have used a variety of digital point and shoot, mirrorless and cellphone cameras for my photos. If you like a photo enough to want to borrow it, just ask! You can reach me at JennySpencer@Spoongood.com.
Whether you're new to from scratch cooking or a veteran in the kitchen, welcome!
