Sorta "old school" with the "nerdy tech" vibe going on, I guess. Some of ya'll might remember me from Jenns Blah Blah Blog. Well, after my recent trip through hell, I'm back! Rebranded, different, but still me! The website is named Half Baked Recipes because it's been a half baked idea for a long time! It's a partner site with Half Baked Media, basically, I took Jenns Blah Blah Blog and split it up. You'll find all our recipe goodness here. I hope you'll come along and enjoy this ride through life with me! Lord knows it's a rough one alone!
