I love tuna. It is one of my favorite fish. I love eating it in all its forms whether it be in sushi, pastas, sashimi, seaweed wraps, seared, tartar, sandwiches, and salads. My pantry always has at least 2 cans of tuna because it’s simple to put together for a delicious meal. I also like…
Author: Tree House Cooking
Hi,
My name is Jessica Stephens. I love to eat and cook. Growing up in the kitchen, learning grandma’s recipes, and then going to culinary school are not my experiences. No, I grew up doing other things, but it seems life’s journey has brought me here; to Tree House Cooking. My food is influenced and inspired by what I watch on TV, places I’ve traveled to, flavors that stick with me, and nutritional books I’ve read while growing up.
The big goal is to spread mind-full mealtimes and build healthy relationships. Like many of us, we have plenty of stories to share as to how we got to where we are. I would like to reveal my stories with you as Tree House Cooking grows. For now, I am starting with a recipe page and blog, but as time goes by it will expand. Perhaps, we’ll be able to relate to each other and we can talk about it. Maybe not and we can talk about that, too!
Feel free to send a message if you have questions about the recipes. Follow on Facebook at Tree House Cooking. Have a good one and eat well!

I’m a Smart a Girl, but Let Me Tell You About the First Time I Started Baking (Brown Butter and Coconut Milk Honey Biscuits) [Gluten-Free]
The first time I started baking was shortly after I moved in with my first roommate who happened to be my boyfriend who is now my husband. So, this was around 2006. We were living in a fairly nice apartment that was right next to a railroad in Tempe, Arizona. It was exciting to move…
Eat This When You Need Something Easy on Your Stomach After Partying Too Hard or When You Are Sleep Deprived Because You’re Raising a Baby/Toddler. (Japanese Noodles with Bean Sprouts, Spring Onions, and Mushrooms in a Light Sesame Chicken Broth [Vegetarian Recipe])
The other night my husband, Jeff, and I caught ourselves living it up like we were in our late 20’s again. Our son, who is now 2 years old, went to bed relatively early because he is starting to not take naps during the day. At 9 PM, Jeff and I looked at each other…
