Phoenix Resident, Jaclyn Douma has released her first cookbook containing a collection of her own recipes specifically designed with couples in mind.

As a newlywed herself, Jaclyn knew she wanted to organize a book with helpful tips, party suggestions and many of her favorite recipes for couples who couldn't necessarily make/afford those "Filet Mignon" recipes in many of the cookbooks given as wedding gifts.

Jaclyn's dream of providing a useful tool in the kitchen, as well as, passing along recipes of her own on a newlywed budget has finally come true.

Whether you're a Newlywed or Empty Nester, Our First Year is filled with recipes that are just the right portion for two! From appetizers and desserts to breakfast and dinner, Our First Year provides recipes for two, for left-overs, and for fun filled parties. Not only will you be enjoying savory recipes, Our First Year also provides many helpful hints for those new to the kitchen. Filled with love and many new experiences, Our First Year is the perfect addition to the life of two!
