Welcome to Noms by Jackie where I share recipes from my kitchen, the best spots in Austin, and every memorable bite from my travels.

hai, i’m jackie!

I’m an Austin-based home cook (not chef) who’s always planning my next meal while enjoying my current one.

Some nights I’m making something impressive and some nights I’m throwing together whatever’s left in the fridge before it goes bad.

If you know me, you know I can't resist a good restaurant rec and will travel just about anywhere for good food.

p.s. i like goats🐐🍻

Good food is always the answer.
