About Us
Hello and welcome!
Kirbie’s Cravings is a food blog based in San Diego sharing easy recipes (ranging from healthy to indulgent) and dining out experiences (in San Diego and from our travels). It chronicles the food cravings of Kirbie.
More About Kirbie
Jennifer (aka Kirbie): I grew up surrounded by wonderful food and people who have a passion for food. Some of my fondest childhood memories are eating and trying new food with my grandparents. My mom is also an amazing cook. In high school my friends gave me the nickname “Kirbie” because I’m constantly eating and always hungry.
I started this blog in 2009 because I needed a creative outlet to relieve the stress from my day job. I had always wanted to be a writer and I loved food, so this seemed like a fun way to explore both passions.
I never expected my little hobby to grow to what it is today. I am now a full-time food blogger, author of 2 cookbooks (5-Minute Mug Cakes* and Dump Cakes from Scratch*), recipe developer and food photographer. (*This product link is an affiliate link.

More About the Blog
This blog shares a lot of recipes ranging from healthy to indulgent. I enjoy all kinds of food and try to share a little bit of everything that I am cooking or baking. I also share some dining posts in San Diego and from my travels.
Recipes
I love sharing easy recipes and finding new ways to simplify recipes or come up with unique recipes ideas. My eating philosophy is that it’s all about balance.
Most Popular Recipe Categories
Dining Out and Travel
All dining out experiences are categorized by city and cuisine. I also have a general San Diego guide where I list my current favorites.
When I first started Kirbie’s Cravings, the blog was more of an online journal chronicling all of my dining out experiences. However in the last few years, the focus has shifted more towards sharing recipes. I still love dining out, but just like I only share my best recipes, I only want to highlight restaurants that get me excited. I also share a lot more of my dining out adventures on my Instagram stories with highlights saved to my profile page.
