About us

The Padgett Family

JK PadFam is Jacob, Kayla and family. We love good food, and we read every label.

When we find a recipe we love, we make it our own. We use the best organic ingredients we can find, keep it gluten-free, and take out as much corn as we can. Corn hides in a lot of places (starches, dextrose, citric acid, even some vinegar), so we have learned to cook around it without losing the flavor that made the recipe worth saving. For baking, our pantry runs on Bob's Red Mill, especially their Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.

The Padgett Family Kitchen is where we share those recipes. Every one shows the creator's original, credited and linked, next to our converted version, so you can see exactly what we changed and why.

JK PadFam is more than the kitchen. It is also home to the projects we build as a family, and we will add them here as they grow.

Organic first

We reach for organic, pasture-raised and grass-fed whenever we can.

Gluten-free

Every converted recipe is gluten-free, usually with the Bob's Red Mill flours we keep at home.

Corn-conscious

We flag the hidden corn so you know which labels to read.

Always credited

We link to every original creator instead of copying their work.
