About Me

Welcome to my blog, my name is Jessica and I became a Kettler on October 1, 2011, when I married the love of my life (a.k.a. "Hubby") in the beautiful North Carolina mountains. We couldn't be happier, until it comes to figuring out what to eat for dinner! I should start by saying that I love cooking and he loves eating...sounds like a match made in food heaven, right?

Not always, because our idea of a perfect meal differs drastically! I am a very healthy eater and like to cook with whole foods and healthy combinations. I am an avid runner and yoga practitioner and I always drink 8 glasses of water a day! Then there is my sweet husband, who loves to indulge. His favorite things are bacon, ranch dressing (yes, this is a favorite food) and chips.

I have spent several years collecting recipes, ideas, advice, cookbooks and more. However, most of my collection doesn’t really appeal to my husband's taste. So, the obsession began to convert all my recipes into new ones we both would enjoy. With our combined love for great food, we always seem to come together in the kitchen to create a great meal. Even our cat, Pinot loves to eat as much as we do! 

With a new name, new marriage and a lot of new kitchen toys, I set off on an exciting new adventure in cooking. I will share not only new recipes, but some of our old favorites on Kettler Cuisine!
