Jackie lives in Seattle with her family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore importantly, Jackie cooks every day for her growing (in both number and appetite) family, while managing a freelance career, schlepping kids to-and-from school and activities, and finding a moment or two to dig in the garden or go for a run. She brings her unique viewpoint of exacting recipe development skills and professional culinary experience and combines it with just being a regular mom trying to get a healthy, tasty, and somewhat efficient meal on the table before the kids have a meltdown.","brand":"Sasquatch Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303166005477,"sku":"NP9781632172921","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781632172921.jpg?v=1767725818","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/easy-beans-isbn-9781632172921","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
