about

Hi, I’m Jenn. You were probably expecting Heather, but she handed this, her blog and passion project, to me to finish.

My good friend Heather started Dinner By Heather in 2023 in order to share her love of meal planning and real food with the world. But life had other plans for Heather, and unable to keep up the blog, she handed it off to me.

I’m Chef Jenn Allen. I’m a retired professional chef, and now I spend my days creating recipes at home, writing cookbooks, and blogging! Dinner By Heather is all about home-cooked meals to help you bring your family together around the dinner table. Skip the processed food and expensive take-out and make your meals at home!
