Jennie, just signed up to your website. Your muffins just came out of the oven, they are wonderful. Because of health reasons I used Spelt, flax meal and Buckwheat, thank you for a great recipe and I love your very personal blog.
I must admit, there were a few years there where I lost track of you. But thankfully, I finally decided to pay more attention to IG this year and now I see you all the time! That is a good thing! Never see anything on FB. Blogs are kinda dead, unless you have something else paying the bills you can feed. I’m kind of in the same boat. Been publishing an online subscription publication since 1997, and while it continues to thrive (thank god I started as a paid sub product from the get go) I’m restless. Recently started a new blog. It looks great. Feeds interest from Twitter for those who don’t necessarily subscribe. But I dunno. I think, for me, this forced introspective pandemic period has put me in a similar mood. Simmering. Love it. Describes me to a T. What do we do now? More video? Are we all going to be forced to be YouTube stars? Ugh. Anyway, I love your writing. Always have. You are much much more than merely someone who posts great recipes on the web for people to download for free. I hear ya. I’ll be interested to see how you morph into the next chapter.
Happy Anniversary! I have been following you for at least 10 or so years and love your recipes but even more I love your writing. Your passion and honesty are what I relate to and admire! I would be willing to pay for your recipes and musings!
Jennie, while I love free content myself, constantly squirreling away recipes in my email or computer for posterity, I’ve also started supporting a few creators over Patreon during the pandemic. I don’t know what the downsides are on back end on using a platform like that for the creator, but I think it allows a smaller select group of people to voluntarily contribute for some exclusive content (or sneak peek before it goes public), and maybe it’s enough to cover the bills for still providing free content for the non-contributors. Don’t know how you feel about that, but just wanted to put it out for consideration, and for what it’s worth, I’d be willing to give monetary support for your content, however you decide to set it up! Thank you for all the recipes and stories and feelings you’ve given us in the last 20 years.
Jennie, when I started following you I had gone through a similar pain like yours with your husband. And although I cried every time I read your writings, they, somehow, helped me through my own pain. And then I found your recipes! I must say that I usually come to read you because I love the way you write and how you pour out your emotions. I started a blog many years ago (it doesn't exist anymore) and, like you, I was pouring out my emotions and found out that most people didn't really care and they only wanted "the free stuff". There's nothing wrong with that, I guess, as we follow blogs like yours because of the good recipes, too. I've seen some blogs I used to follow stop sharing their contents, turn private, and start charging for a subscription. I haven't paid for any of them because they weren't worth it. I would be willing to pay for a subscription to your blog because I truly admire you . . . and I love your recipes, too! Good luck with whatever you decide to do! :)
I made these blueberry muffins today and got rave reviews all around. I appreciate your adding the weights for the ingredients. I always weigh my ingredients when baking. In particular, I think weighing the flour helps produce more consistent results when following a recipe. The fact that 12 muffins only have a total of 1/3 cup of sugar is also enticing.
I have followed you more for your stories than for your recipes. Your struggles and triumphs are encouragement for me as I try to understand life and the sorrows and laughter it brings. I hope I can continue to follow you and your journies with your girls. God bless.

Happy anniversary ❤️
I’m so grateful for your content, both narrative and recipes.
Online recipes are such a Wild West, but I always know your recipes are tested, reliable, and delicious.
If you went to a subscriber or patreon model I’d definitely come along.
