Hi, I’m Jessica!

A passionate home chef, recipe creator, and food enthusiast. My love for cooking began when I moved out at a young age and had to rethink my lifestyle after facing serious health issues from eating out too often. Cooking became my healing journey—one that turned into a true passion. Today, I create and share recipes I’ve made, loved, and approved myself. I believe food is more than fuel—it’s a way to connect, to nourish, and to spread joy. Every dish has a story, and I’m here to share mine with you!

My Story

I moved out at a young age, and like many, I got used to eating out—fast food, takeout, processed meals. Over time, it took a serious toll on my health. I developed anemia, goiters, high cholesterol, and even hepatitis… It was overwhelming, especially for someone so young. I constantly felt weak, tired, emotionally drained, with dull skin and an unhealthy, rapid weight loss. My body felt older than my age, and even though I had so much energy and life inside me, I couldn’t express it.

One day, I realized something had to change—health is priceless. I couldn’t keep living like that. Slowly, I started taking control by cooking for myself. I began choosing what I ate, knowing exactly what I was putting into my body. That’s when everything started to shift.

At first, I cooked out of necessity. But soon, I began to enjoy it. Cooking became my therapy, my joy. Every time I made a dish I loved, I took a picture—partly to remember it, and partly because I was proud of it. One day I looked at my gallery and realized that more than half of my photos were of food. That’s when I knew—I was truly passionate about cooking.

I’ve always been someone who loves to share, so I thought, why not share my journey with others? And that’s how Approuved Recipes was born—filled with the meals I’ve personally cooked, loved, and now want to share with you so you can enjoy them too, whether alone or with your family.
