Hey Ho, Let’s Go!
Jeannette Ordas
Howdy! I'm Jeannette and I'm so excited to be one of ReadyMade's new food bloggers. To give you a quick introduction, I love making stuff. I design websites (my day job), I illustrate & sell my own greeting cards and I write about food on my blog Everybody Likes Sandwiches. You can also find me over on Flickr where I'm constantly taking photos of the food that I eat on my pretty blue formica kitchen table. I love thrifting where I scour shelves and dusty bins for vintage Pyrex, old cookbooks and wacky knick-knacks. I'm also a big fan of biking around Vancouver, taking long and winding road trips and camping.
I've always been interested in preparing food and I'm always wondering what I'll be eating next. I started my food blog five years ago as a way to document all the action that was taking place in my own kitchen. Initially it was a way for me to connect with what I was eating but it actually turned into a way to connect with others---a pretty amazing thing. I also learned that I'm at my best when it comes to a kitchen challenge. Bare fridge? Empty cupboards? I'm always up for the task and will try my best to whip up something crazy delicious. I cook food with simple ingredients that don't take much fuss (and I hardly ever make sandwiches, despite the name of my blog).
Over here at ReadyMade, I plan on dishing about my personal food and kitchen discoveries, which will include a lot of budget-conscious recipes and tips while sharing ideas on how to be more resourceful and playful in the kitchen (don't be a recipe slave!). I also hope to introduce you to a few interesting food personalities, cookbooks, while sharing a few delicious crumbs here and there. I really am excited to be here and hope to find a great community of hungry food-loving folks.
Got any great food tips or ideas you'd love to share or just want to say hi? Leave a comment as I'd love to hear from you!
