About Mrs. B
Hi all!
My name is Jen, aka Mrs. Jen B. I’ve been blogging since March 2009. I started in an attempt to get my crazy misadventures down on “paper”.
Over time, though, as I got more involved in the blogging world my outlook changed. I still wanted a place to tell my story, but the discovery of food, home & garden, decorating and craft blogs opened my eyes to a whole new world. Blogging was no longer a way to put my life down for others to see – it was a way to learn from others and to have a dialog with them.
This blog focuses mostly on my writing and my cooking, and I hope in time to be able to flex my creative muscles in new ways and grow this blog in every possible direction via crafts, home and garden, organizational tips – the sky’s the limit!
The one greatest thing blogging has afforded me is the friendships I’ve gained. I hope to be able to forge even more incredible relationships as time goes on. If you think you may be a good candidate for friendship, here’s what you need to know about me:
- I’m in my early 30′s. No children (yet).
- I get free tech support because I married my tech support guy. Okay, I married him first, then started blogging. But it’s working out pretty well.
- I work in an office during the day.
- I dance in my chair far too frequently and far too enthusiastically.
- Old-timey is my thing – old movies, music, styles.
- Every time I see a commercial asking people if they’ve fallen in the past 12 months because if so they may qualify for a power chair, I remind myself that tripping over one’s own feet doesn’t count.
- I love to read…and not just blogs.
- I use far too many emoticons for my own good.
So pull up a chair, get comfy and take a look around. Drop me a line via the Contact page and let me know you were here – I’d love to meet you!
Hi Jen,
Learned about your blog via Blogger. I am a new foodblogger with a passion for healthy, fresh homecooked meals, especially soups. Come by to visit Prep2eat.

Hi – I’m visiting from the SITS Comment Hour. I loved your description of how blogging changed for you over time. I just started a few months ago and it’s amazing how as a writer/blogger/person, you evolve over time – it’s fun to watch!
Looking forward to reading more! Visiting from #CommentHour!
Hi! I enjoy your blog! Just wanted to stop by and tell you!on the new side of blogging and enjoyed reading how blogging changes and grows for you. ..I need technical help, as the explanations need explained. :0 ahaha I’m off to read more of your blog, Have a great week. Sunny109
I look forward to reading about and sharing in your adventures!
Thank you for linking up! I agree that the new friends are the BEST part of blogging
You are darling!
Thank you! What a sweet compliment.
I recently read an article in our local paper where your website was listed as well as a quote from you about breakfast casseroles. You mentioned a blueberry French toast casserole and a sausage-hash brown breakfast bake. Would you give out the recipes for these two casseroles. I have a ladies Christmas brunch to cook for soon and both of these recipes sound wonderful. Thanks!
Hi there Mrs. B. I just discovered your “blog” and am happy to be here today I happened to see an article about you and your blog which also had a reference to a Breakfast Casserole by Ashcraft. Would you point me in the direction of the recipe? I tried to locate it on my own but no such luck. Thanks for your interesting tips and tricks and recipes…love them all! Patty
Hi, there! I don’t have my own FB account, but occasionally go on my husband’s
as we share most of the friends in his list. I like to see what’s going on
with people. One of our friends “liked” your page so I checked it out and was instantly drawn to it. See? That’s a sign of a good writer (you).
I’m dying to make the pumpkin pie oatmeal – don’t quite have all the ingredients yet. I’ll check back soon and let you know how it turned out.
We have 7 inches of fresh powder here near Chicago. That puts me in the mood to bake but instead I have to assemble a lasagna for a small gathering here
tomorrow night. I have a beautiful whole chicken roasting in my oven and the neighbor kids are squealing as they sled down a nearby hill. It’s a perfect
winter night. How are things where you are?
the recipe for phila. butter cake is that regular sugar for the topping part or do you use powder sugar???
It’s granulated sugar.
Please find a real Philadelphia cinnamon buns recipe……too many imitation ones that are just glorified pecan sweet rolls
Isn’t that the best part about food, though – that so many regions have their own traditions and names for things? For instance, the recipe for cinnamon rolls that I use is the only type of cinnamon roll I’ve ever eaten, and I’m from Philadelphia! Whereas pecan sweet rolls, to me, have a clear sticky glaze and feature raisins. Fascinating! I wasn’t aware that there was a style of roll specific to my area. Thanks for the info – I’m sure there are plenty of variations to choose from via Google or any site that collects recipes.
Jen,
I stumbled upon your blog after reading through Nikki’s blog, Chef In Training. I adore, adore reading! I’ve been known to abandon all responsibilities so I can read. I try to justify it by saying I’m setting a good example for my two young children….lol! I’m very excited about exploring your blog! Thank you!!!!
I love reading, too. Sadly I’ve been to exhausted lately to do much of it, but there has been a time or two when I’ve been known to leave a book open on my lap under my desk…
Hey Jen.
I’ve been following you an Twitter for a while, but have only just gotten around to checking out your lovely blog. You have some great recipes that I looking forward to trying.
Jennifer Rodda
