Welcome to One Sweet Appetite!
Hi there! I’m Jesseca, the heart and soul behind One Sweet Appetite. If you’re here, it means you love delicious, tried-and-true recipes just as much as I do. Let’s dive into what makes this space a treasure trove for food enthusiasts like you.

My Culinary Journey
My love for food began with a humble attempt to impress my husband (then boyfriend) with a batch of cookies. I was so confident, I haphazardly tossed ingredients into a bowl, only to end up with a batch of tasteless rocks. Watching him take that first bite was a humbling moment, but it sparked a desire in me to truly understand the art of cooking and baking.
Determined to improve, I loaded up on cookbooks from our local library, scoured the web for tutorials and tips, and signed up for nearly every cooking class I could find. Years of practice, countless mistakes, and some happy accidents have led me to where I am today.
Fast forward a few years, and One Sweet Appetite was born. This space is not only where I share delicious recipes but also my journey of growth and learning. I aim to make the mistakes so you don’t have to! Join me as we explore new kitchen tips and dive deeper into the culinary world.
Creating meals has become my full-time job, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been fortunate enough to be featured on multiple radio stations, TV segments, and even commercials for major grocery stores!
