Food Blogger Spotlight #1: Jennifer Sikora of Jen Around the World

We’re excited to kick off our new Food Blogger Spotlight series — a celebration of passionate creators who bring creativity, authenticity, and heart to every dish they share. Each month, we’ll highlight a food blogger who inspires their audience through flavor, storytelling, and community.

 

To launch the series, we’re thrilled to feature Jennifer Sikora of Jen Around the World! In this first edition, Jennifer shares her approach to blogging—how she blends quality with personality and manages time without losing her genuine spark. Her insights offer a refreshing, down-to-earth look at staying inspired and true to yourself in today’s fast-paced digital kitchen.

Do you remember the first time you discovered you have a passion for cooking? If you have any special kitchen stories or memories, please share them with us.

 

I have had a passion for cooking ever since I was little. As a young child, my idol was always Julia Child. I used to lay in the floor and watch her with my momma. One of my favorite memories will be with my own daughter who was 7 and we had just tried making homemade pizza from scratch. She was so proud of what we had accomplished. It was delicious and everyone raved about. That instilled that same love of cooking in her!

 

How long did it take before your food blog gained traction?

 

When I first started blogging, my site was focused on our homeschooling journey. During that time we started teaching the kids cooking classes as part of our curriculum and I would share our recipes and outcomes with my readers. Never in a million years did I think people would be interested in what I had to share, but little by little my blog started to grow. We left behind the homeschooling articles and decided to pursue fully into food and recipes. It took me a whole seven years for my blog to really start taking off. I didn’t know anything about SEO, etc. I was just writing from the heart and sharing any recipe I just happened to make that I thought others would like too.

 

Which part of the food blogging work do you prefer – envisioning a new recipe in your mind and cooking it; writing stories about the recipe; or getting creative with the food styling and food photography? And why?

 

I hired my daughter seven years ago to come and work alongside me as my food stylist and photographer. She has the perfect eye for it. We both work on research and development for what we will cook and create, but the cooking part is where I really shine. That is my favorite time to be in the kitchen.

 

What would be your most helpful advice to someone asking you for tips on getting started in the food blogging world?

 

Make sure to find someone who can walk you through how to do data research as you are posting. Use Google Search console, watch videos, pay attention to your data! It’s a gold mine when it comes to creating new content for your readers. And don’t be afraid to spend money on the stuff that will make a difference.

 

What’s one thing you’d do differently if you were starting your blog today?

 

I would start from the begging and make sure to pay attention to any and all data right from the beginning. Look at what’s trending when trying to decide what to make. I would also work on building other ways to make income from my website like cookbooks, printable recipe cards and more.
 

What’s your go-to advice for someone struggling to find their unique voice or niche in the food blogging world?

 

Be true to yourself. The readers you have are there because there is something special about YOU. Don’t try to be like everyone else. One of my quirkest things about myself is my Southern accent. I used to try and hide it but now I wear it loud and proud and it is just a part of who I am.

 

 

We hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the creative journey of Jennifer Sikora from Jen Around the World. The Food Blogger Spotlight is all about celebrating the passion and individuality behind every recipe, photo, and story shared online. If you’d like to be featured in an upcoming spotlight, or know someone who should be – fill out our Spotlight form here. We love connecting with bloggers who value quality, creativity, and community as much as we do.

 

Until next time, happy cooking and blogging!

9 Foodie Things to Write About in the Next 90 Days

9 Foodie Things

In January of this year, I expanded the scope of the Monthly Content Prompts packages to cover several months ahead vs. focusing on just one month at a time. My goal in doing so was to make it a better content planning resource for your business.

 

The March, April, and May food themes are ready to download and the new Content Prompts guide I’m working on covers a 90 day view of what’s ahead (plus plenty of ideas to help you Monetize these themes).

 

Here’s a quick look at a few upcoming themes or trends you can cover…

9 “Foodie” Things to Write About in the Next 90 Days:

  1. Food Gardening. Spring is almost here and your readers are itching to get their hands in some dirt. The trend toward growing and preserving your own food is expected to grow as food prices continue to rise. Plus, April is National Garden Month and May includes National Herb Week. There are tons of opportunities to Monetize this theme with gardening equipment, courses, books, etc…
    .
  2. Earth Day. (April 22) Ideas to consider include the zero waste food trend, composting, organic gardening, and sustainable food sources.
    .
  3. Cinco de Mayo. Lots of fun topics surrounding the history behind Cinco de Mayo and your favorite recipes that fit the theme. The brand new Beef Enchilada and Frozen Strawberry Margarita recipes I’m working on this week fit this theme (and several others).
    .
  4. The Holidays. (yikes!) Due to the pandemic, holiday pinning started in April last year. I have a feeling it won’t be as early this year, but by July you’ll want to have your holiday-themed content ready to roll.
    .
  5. Mother’s Day – Start pulling together your favorite breakfast/brunch recipes and ideas and creating/updating an annual holiday gift guide for the occasion to Monetize.
    ..
  6. Eggs. May is National Egg Month and National Eggs Benedict Day is in April. It’s hard to think of a more versatile food item than the humble egg. The possibilities for round-up style posts are plentiful, including baking/desserts, salads, Keto/Low Carb, breakfast/brunch, and different ways to prepare.
    .
  7. Summer Food Themes. (Northern Hemisphere) Picnics, grilling, cold or frozen beverages, ice cream treats, and BBQ are a few topics you can dig into over the weeks and months ahead.
    .
  8. Mediterranean Diet. May is National Mediterranean Diet Month, so this is the perfect time to talk about the history and philosophy behind this popular way of eating, as well as your personal success stories if you follow it yourself. As always, share your favorite recipes that fit this theme.
    .
  9. Dairy. June is National Dairy Month and there are tons of daily food themes throughout the next 90 days covering everything from vanilla milkshakes to cheese fondue to ice cream sodas. If it fits your niche, this is a great time to talk about dairy allergies and sensitivities, as well as recommended alternatives and substitutions.

I go into more detail (including Monetization) on these and other themes and trends in each new Content Prompts package.

 

Note: The “February” pack is still available for download – it includes a lot of content and information for March/April.
