About Me

Hi, I’m Jae.

I’m a mama, a home cook, and someone who cares deeply about creating a warm, meaningful home for my family filled with intention, memories, and tradition.

This space began years ago as a place to share recipes, and over time, it’s grown with me. My cooking has evolved, my life has changed, but at the core, this has always been about nourishing the people I love and making everyday moments feel special.

My little corner is called “J Jacuinde’s Kitchen” because the kitchen is the heart of my home. All my activities generally happen from here; meals of course, but also crafting, thinking, planning, and everything else that goes into the intentional execution of creating heart for my little family.

So here you will find simple meals I make on repeat, but you’ll also find ideas for family rhythms and traditions, and reflections from real life – from the middle of it all.

If you’re a mom (or dad, or anyone) trying to feed your family, create memories, and hold things together with care and purpose (even on tired days), you’re in the right place.
