My name is Jenene and I currently live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I have always been interested in cooking and have very special memories relating to food and meals at my Grandmother’s and Great Grandmother’s houses. Because of my interest in cooking I attended culinary school and obtained a degree in culinary arts.

I have always enjoyed talking to people about food and recipes that use local ingredients as much as possible, so I thought I would start a blog in order to talk to more people that share the same interest.

I believe it is important to use local products as much as possible because the food is fresher since it isn’t having to come from a long distance away, you can sometimes see or find out how the product is grown/ produced and have a relationship with the farmer/ producer, and it helps the local community and economy.

With this blog I hope to provide people with delicious recipes that they can feel good about feeding to their families, share some information about using local products, and more.
