Jennifer is the recipe developer and food photographer behind Wellness Trickle, where she specializes in creating nightshade-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free recipes that don't sacrifice flavor.
Since 2018, Jennifer has been developing and testing recipes specifically designed for people with food sensitivities and dietary restrictions. Living with endometriosis and psoriatic arthritis, she understands firsthand the impact that food can have on inflammation and overall wellbeing, and she's committed to creating recipes that help others feel their best without giving up the foods they love.
Recipe Development Expertise
Jennifer's rigorous testing process ensures every recipe published on Wellness Trickle is reliable and delicious. Each recipe is tested a minimum of three times before publication, with 90% also being tested by another member of her team. Many of the recipes featured on the site have been in development and family rotation for over five years before being published, ensuring they've stood the test of time.
Her specialties include:
Nightshade-free recipe development and substitutions
Gluten-free and dairy-free baking and cooking
Adapting traditional recipes for dietary restrictions
Creating family-friendly meals that appeal to both restricted and non-restricted eaters
Ingredient substitutions that maintain flavor and texture
Making Restricted Diets Feel Unrestricted
Jennifer's mission is to help people rediscover foods they thought they could no longer enjoy. Her most popular recipes—including her nightshade-free taco seasoning and nightshade-free salsa verde—have helped readers who've been living without their favorite foods for years finally enjoy them again.
Reader testimonials frequently describe her recipes as "life-changing" and "a gift," with many noting that family members who don't follow dietary restrictions can't tell the difference.
When she's not in the kitchen developing recipes, Jennifer is managing the chaos of travel baseball schedules with her three boys and finding ways to pack nourishing, flavorful food for life on the go.
