Meet Jeanette

dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, Apple Pie Cookie Cups, Orange Coconut Blossoms, Sugar Cookies, Caramel Pretzels, Peanut Butter Krispy Treats.

  Hello, I'm Jeanette.  I  LOVE to bake and have spent an entire lifetime enjoying all things baked.  As a young girl, I marveled at beautifully displayed cakes, pies and other special occasion baked goods.  My desire to emulate such delicious creations has continued throughout my adult life and on most days, you’ll find one of my “Happy Places” is in the kitchen, being creative with food. I enjoy gardening and growing my own herbs to incorporate into baking as well.

  In late 2025,I started developing and photographing recipes for Food Bloggers through a course called Pretty Focused.  I'm having so much fun exploring this new avenue.

Follow along as I develop and share simple to make recipes and learn some tips and tricks along the way!

About Me

  I was fortunate to graduate from a well known Culinary Academy, Le Cordon Bleu, but don’t let that intimidate you. I really am not all that fancy!  Culinary School was always on my bucket list, so I made it happen a few years ago.  It really was fascinating and the opportunity it created  for me to extern as a Pastry Chef in  Istanbul, Turkey was an experience of a lifetime.


 I was immersed in a thriving bakery operation that gave me the confidence and inspiration to return to the U.S. and do what I love to do in the comfort of my own kitchen (and country).  Through a series of ups and downs, navigating through uncharted territory and plenty of changes, Rising Simplicity began in 2017.


  My husband and I have a combined number of 12 adult kids (this includes their spouses), 19 Grandchildren and a whole lot more extended family. We love our family and although some do not live nearby, gatherings around a bounty of delicious food is something we strive to make happen as often as possible. We enjoy preparing food together, sharing recipes and culinary creativities. 

 

 We also love staying active in the great outdoors, attending and serving at our church, doing home projects together, ballroom dancing and creating memories with family and friends!


  I am so grateful to God for this season of life that I am in, embracing one day at a time as a gift. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful family, really awesome friends and an opportunity to do what I love to do. 


Blessings to you, Jeanette
