HI! I’m Jenn Giam Smith!

Daughter of a chef,

mom to five, and wife. I grew up in a food-oriented family. Most of my recipes are a mix of fun and easy (sometimes fast), and when I can… I add a bit of my family’s Chinese-American-European roots.
The rest of the time we’re busy living life and enjoying where we call home in La Crosse and Wisconsin!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

This homemade Chicken Nuggets recipe is a true comfort food. It’s soft and tender on the inside, with a crispy golden-brown exterior that’ll make you think you’re eating at a well-known fast-food place. The secret? White meat chicken breast blended with a secret blend of spices and seasonings, and no filler or preservatives allowed.

Marinated Cherry Tomato Mozzarella Salad

This marinated cherry tomato mozzarella salad is everything I love about summer food: no cooking (unless you want a crostino or two), fresh ingredients, and vibrant flavor. The cherry tomatoes marinate with olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper for an hour or more if you so choose, so the flavors marry together well.

Smoked Salmon Rillette

This Smoked Salmon Rillette recipe blends cream cheese with smoked salmon (and a few other ingredients) topped with melted butter, creating a fun play on a traditional rillette (think lox and bagels turned into a dip). It’s a delicious addition to any relish tray or charcuterie board. Yeilds Approximatley One-Cup of Rillette
