I’m Jackie Mack and I love food. I love walking on a brisk sunny day. I am a fan of green surrounding me and the sound of rivers running and ocean waves crashing. I love cooking for family and friends and enjoying the meal around our table. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband, daughter and my dog, Oreo.
I studied nutrition with the Nutritional Therapy Association, here in Portland, for 9 months in 2011. This schooling in nutrition really got me excited about sharing some hearty, tasty recipes. The best way I know to share my love of food is to blog, and so Lingonberry Lane was born.
The recipes on this site are my own creations, family recipes, or recipes that I’ve adapted from other sources and I always name my source in my post.
The photos on my site are photos taken by me unless otherwise noted. Note: My friend Sharon Waisanen shared with me the gorgeous photo of lingonberries growing in the Alaskan forest that adorns my site banner. Thank you Sharon!
I am so excited for you! I really enjoyed reading your 1st blog! Can’t wait to try the crisp!
Miss Crafty One – thx for checking out the blog!
Thanks Jackie for bringing a bit of Alaska to us here in Austria!! You forgot to mention how good crisp is with ice cream :))) but I guess than the nutritional value starts to get a bit blurry! Cheers to your new blog.
Hi Monique – glad you enjoyed a little bit of Alaska in Austria. I enjoyed a little bit of Alaska in Oregon, too! Cheers and crisp is yummy with ice cream indeed.
Congrats on your blog, Jackie! I love it – will visit regularly to get inspired and to keep that Oregon feel for good, natural food in our lives. Oh how I miss those Oregon berries!
Hi Ruth! Thanks for checking out the blog:) I need to get the european scale for measuring in the recipes for my friends overseas. It’s on the to-do list!
Jackie Mac – I’ve always known you were a stellar chef – now we get to try your recipes out at our own home! I’m thinking now not only are you an amazing cook, but excellent photographer of food too!!
Thanks so much, Mary!!
I love this website! Your photos are beautiful and your commentary makes me want to cook up each and every recipe. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Your Honey Curry Chicken is a favorite at my house.
Thanks, Miss Shannon!
This is great Jackie! I can’t wait to make so many of new things.
I’ll be sure to share your blog with my sisters and friends.
Thanks, Gretchen! And thanks for sharing the site 🙂
I love your work here, Jackie, and just shared it via email with a longtime friend (classmate from high school days) who lives in Pasco, WA where I grew up. Also fixed the pork chops recently..but made some substitutes..so thinking next time I will do it just as you presented the recipe. Jo
Thx, Jo. I appreciate the sharing a lot 🙂 I’m enjoying the cooking and posting….Thx for the comments.
Jackie,
I look forward to trying out some of your tasty recipes. I can use a little inspiration in the kitchen these days, and this may be part of the answer. I also enjoyed your stories about your mother. Thanks for sharing!
