Jennie - One Sweet Mess

Welcome to One Sweet Mess!

Oh, hey there! I’m so happy you found my little slice of the interweb. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfy. The cookies are in the vintage pig and there’s a bottle of bourbon on the television stand turned bar–help yo’self!

The name is Jennie, and it’s so very nice to meet ya! I’m the whisk wielding, flour-slinging, spatula-licking, bourbon-swilling cook, baker, and cocktail shaker.

One Sweet Mess is my homage to food and booze (lots and lots of booze–no shame!). If I were any good at poetry, I’d write it a sappy sonnet. Since I have the patience of a starving 2-year old, instant gratification is my benchmark when I’m developing new recipes for the site.

One Sweet Mess is dedicated to unique and innovative recipes that are quick, flavorful, fuss-free, and, most of all, irresistible. You’ll find a range of indulgent desserts, healthy sweets and snacks, soul-satisfying comfort food, and inventive libations.

Jennie - One Sweet Mess

In my kitchen, making a mess is encouraged and licking the spatula is an absolute must. Around here, cocoa powder blowouts are a real threat, flour dust storms happen almost daily, and bits of food find their way to the ceiling… Enter at your own risk!

One Sweet Mess was born in 2011 as a creative outlet to put my writing skills to the test while completing my undergraduate degree in English. One recipe led to two recipes, which led to a brand new camera and a few food props. Now, almost 4 years later, this little space is a business with a real following (no longer just my mom).

About the author:

When I’m not making a mess in the kitchen, I’m out rockin’ the local food scene or shaking up cocktails for friends. I enjoy spending time outdoors: running, cycling, fishing, camping, or motor boatin’ the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay. I live in Baltimore with my pup Sully. If you’d like to get a glimpse of my world outside of the kitchen, you can follow me on instagram.
