Meet Jennifer Draper

Hi, I’m Jennifer!
I know what it’s like to stare into the refrigerator at 5:00 p.m. and wonder what to make for dinner.
That’s why I created Garnished Plate. Every recipe is developed with everyday ingredients, clear instructions, and the goal of making dinner feel a little easier so that you can spend less time stressing over dinner and more time enjoying it with the people around your table.
Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal, a family favorite, or fresh inspiration for tonight’s dinner, I’m here to help with recipes tested by my family in my kitchen.
