Hi! My name is Jennifer Locklin and my blog is Jane Deere. My foodie obsession started early in life in my grandma’s kitchen, making Strudels, Kolaches and Fried Pies, and later landed me in culinary school.

Back before I got married, I was a dedicated journal keeper. I think I have seven volumes detailing my years as a girl who liked to kiss boys. Seriously, if I could go back in time I would give myself a kick in the rear. Who knew there was so much more to life than…
