About Jennie

Welcome to my Kitchen! I’m Jennie Duncan, the author and owner of The Diary of a Real Housewife. I’m a mom of three active little boys living in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I started my blog in 2012 and I have a passion for sharing easy recipe that anyone can make and the entire family can enjoy.

The day I became mommy my entire world changed. My oldest son was born with Cerebral Palsy. My days quickly became full of doctors appointments, therapy offices, and waiting rooms.

I started my blog soon after he was born as an outlet to share about my favorite thing, cooking for my family.

Family dinner and time around the table together holds some of my favorite memories as a family. With a busy schedule those special moments can quickly slip away. I started sharing these recipes to help other families be able to make easy dinners that everyone will enjoy (yes, even the kids!) so they can also gather as a family.

Most importantly I am a child of the one true King. A sinner saved by grace who is forever thankful.

In 2018 Chad Duncan (my husband) quit his corporate job to join The Diary of a Real Housewife team full time. Jennie is the creative and Chad is the business, and we make a pretty good team. He takes care of all the logistics behind the scenes and is our chief writer and editor.

Chad graduated college with a business degree and has many years of experience in the restaurant industry which made the transition an easy one for him.

If he isn’t at home working and playing games with our kids you can find him in his favorite place, Disney World.

Together we have three incredible boys who we homeschool as we run our business.

Each year millions of people visit our site looking for recipes that are simple to make, affordable, and still taste incredible. Hearing your comments on how you learn to cook or tried something new is what encourages us to keep pressing forward.
