2015 has been a wonderful year for Jkawe thanks to all of you!

A year ago my family moved from Chicago to Cleveland and big changes happened in our household. I decided not to go back to work full time when we moved and focus on my blog and being home with my kids instead. I must admit it was scary to leave a full time job, with a steady paycheck but I have never been happier and don’t regret it for one second.

I now work full time creating recipes for you guys and I love it! This blog started as a place where I could share recipes with my close family and friends and has grew to so, so much more.

Jkawe is not only my job but is my passion. I truly enjoy “going” to work every day and can say that I somehow stumbled into something that I never thought was possible. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, since the time I was little and making hummus, tabbouleh and kibbeh with my grandma and mom. My interests in life always gravitated towards food, trying new recipes, traveling around the world to try other cultures cuisines and sharing that with family and friends. Now I get to share it with not only my close family and friends, but the world. To say I am blessed is an understatement.
