Hi there!

Welcome to my little culinary haven in my tiny corner of the internet! I'm Jessica Leslie the recipe developer, food stylist and photographer behind Whipped It Up. I'm thrilled to have you here!

Here you will find easy family-friendly delicious recipes centered around fresh seasonal ingredients. Our recipes range from easy brunch ideas to flavorful dinner dishes, including decadent desserts and more.

Whipped It Up

From my earliest memories, food has been my passion, and I've never met a cupcake I didn't like. I was inspired at a young age by baking cookies with my grandma and spending time with my mom in the kitchen.

Though mostly self-taught, my experience includes working in a fast-paced sports bar kitchen for years, which I loved. The hustle intrigued me, and it has been one of the attributes that has stuck with me the most. I thrive on planning elaborate meals and experimenting with new recipes-often, we enjoy a new dish every night!

I met my husband right out of high school, and we've spent over a decade cooking and exploring together. My husband Edward and I have two children - a wonderful son and a beautiful daughter, and of course, we can't forget our first fur-child!

Creating delicious food is my biggest passion. I'm constantly brainstorming and perfecting recipes, driven by the belief that if others can do it, so can I. I'm thrilled to share my culinary creations with you. If you'd like to read more about how I became a food blogger, I have written a whole post about it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Whipped It Up began in 2018, and since then, I have worked with many brands to connect my audience with their products in fun and unique ways. If you're a business or brand interested in working with Whipped It Up, please reach out! I love creating unique recipes to promote brands that I love.
