Hey! thanks for stopping by
I’m Jordan and welcome to JZ EATS!
I’m the girl behind the camera and the creator of all the delicious recipes on this website. I’m a food blogger from Baltimore, but currently living in New Jersey, who enjoys nothing more than a delicious homemade meal!
Eating is my hobby and cooking is my passion. Nothing brings me more joy than cooking for friends and family, but since I can’t cook for everyone in the world, I’m doing the next best thing. Sharing all my wonderful recipes right here on this blog!
My philosophy in life is everything in moderation. I feel like people say that a lot, but I truly believe in it and always have. If I know I’m going to be indulging at dinner, I’ll eat a lighter breakfast and lunch. I always make sure I’m working out 3-4 times per week. And I’m almost always training for some type of race.
In 2017 I did a half marathon and in 2018 I competed in a triathlon. And let me just tell you a few years prior, I could barely run a 5k. It just goes to show that you can do whatever you put your mind to.
That’s me on the left!
I’ve always loved to cook, and have always been extremely creative. This blog has been the perfect outlet to put all of that passion into. I truly have never been so passionate about any one thing in life for an extended period of time. Except Luna, but she’s basically my firstborn and only child. For those who don’t know, Luna is my cat.
She’s always right next to anything I’m cooking.
Anyways, what originally began on Instagram as an idea to showcase the food I love to cook and the restaurants I love to dine at around Baltimore has now expanded to this blog. Here you will find recipes, cooking secrets, and products I can’t live without.
My background
Baltimore, Maryland (Baltimore County specifically) is my hometown and it’s all about that amazing seafood life. Honestly, there’s nothing like fresh seafood right from the Chesapeake or Maryland crabs in the summer.
Growing up I was always in the kitchen with my dad, creating something unique and delicious or learning about all the cool herbs in our garden. He never cooked from a recipe and taught me how to do the same.
My mom was always eager to introduce me to unique restaurants, whether they were local or while we were traveling. It was with her that I tasted things most kids my age hadn’t even heard of, which really broadened my palate and deepened my love for diverse flavors.
Education
