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!
