A few words

About Me

Hi, my name is Jen. I am a cook, homemaker, and mom! Thank you for visiting ForestHavenMom, where ideas and home cooking meet. Like you, I want to share nourishing meals and tasty treats with my friends and family. Over the years, I have created many dishes that were total busts and others that were crowd-pleasers. I invite you to join me on this journey, as I share my recipes, hacks, and shortcuts with you!

How I got started

I’ve always enjoyed cooking, even as a child. As an adult, I love to cook for my husband and friends. I’ve spent time perfecting recipes like my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies. After some brushes with food allergies for both myself and my friends, I’ve learned to modify recipes when necessary. Once I had my son, there weren’t enough hours in the day for me to keep up on fun new recipes. Now that he’s grown, I’m getting back to my love of cooking and sharing with friends. I hope you find the perfect recipe on my site. 

 

"Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love."
