Welcome to How Sweet It Is!
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.
I have an unnatural obsession with James Taylor’s music. Contrary to popular belief, the name of this blog has nothing to do with the plethora of sugar we’ve got going on – but because the song “How Sweet It Is” is constantly streaming in my mind. Sometimes it’s loud.
You can find my daily musings on life in Crumbs. Sometimes I post workouts. Other times I post pictures of my spoon waist-deep in a peanut butter jar. Sometimes I share pictures of my {really} messy kitchen. It all evens out.
I reside in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my husband who enjoys copious amounts of steak, Garth Brooks cassette tapes and framed photos of WWF wrestlers. I am completely self-taught and have no formal culinary training, just many mess-ups in the kitchen. I test most of my recipes at least once if possible, but by no means claim to be a culinary genius. All creations and photography are my own, unless otherwise noted.
Please feel free to contact me - I love hearing from you! Emails can be sent to howsweeteats [at] gmail [dot] com. If you have a specific question, please see my FAQs. I try very hard to respond to every email and comment I receive, but some inevitably slip through the cracks. The best chance of me responding to you is if you leave a comment on a recent post, or ask a question on Facebook. If you have a specific question regarding a recipe, please comment on the post or ask on Facebook first – both are open forums and others often have the same inquiry.
If you are seeking permission to post one of my recipes, I ask that if you do not make any adaptions to the recipe, that you simply link back to my original post. If you are unsure as to what constitutes an adapted recipe, please see the guidelines on recipe attribution.
You can ‘like’ How Sweet It Is on Facebook and follow along on Twitter. I can also be found on Instagram, Pinterest, Foodgawker, Tastespotting, Stumbleupon and as a contributor on Tasty Kitchen.
