About Me

Hello there! I’m Jenny, the face behind this cozy corner of the internet. Welcome to my blog, MamaApproved, where I share my passion for cooking and sprinkle in some lifestyle wisdom along the way.

At 43, I’m living my version of a fulfilled life – as a proud mom of two wonderful kids and happily married to my best friend and biggest supporter. Our home is always bustling with activity, laughter, and of course, the aroma of something delicious cooking in the kitchen!

My Journey

Growing up in a family that valued home-cooked meals, I developed a love for cooking at an early age. But it wasn’t until I became a mom that I truly appreciated the power of a well-prepared meal to bring family and friends together.

Over the years, I’ve collected a treasure trove of recipes – some passed down through generations, others discovered on my culinary adventures, and many born from late-night inspirations or happy kitchen accidents. Now, I’m excited to share these recipes with you!

  4. Personal Stories: Occasionally, I’ll sprinkle in some personal anecdotes and family adventures. After all, life is about more than just what’s on our plates!
