Today, Jenn cooks dinner for hers every night and here she shares 100 recipes that will up your kitchen game and surprise you with their ease and bold flavours. There is something for every meal of the day starting with breakfast favourites like Maple, Coconut & Blueberry Granola, and Savoury Ham & Cheese Waffles. Simple soups, salads, and sandwiches make ideal lunches (try the Fiery Roasted Tomato Soup paired with Smoked Gouda & Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches), plus entrees the whole family will love like Buttermilk Fried Chicken Yenders. And for those casual get-togethers it's easy to whip up some buttery Cajun Popcorn and bowls of Sweet, Salty & Spicy Pecans.
