Sweets for the Soul by Lady J

Sweets for the Soul by Lady J Mouthwatering home-cooked southern cooking, desserts and dishes at affordable prices. Who doesn’t love a home cooked meal?

Better yet…who doesn’t like flavorful, delicious food? We all love great food but why is it always so difficult to find someone who can “throw down” in the kitchen and offer mouthwatering meals and desserts that will leave you coming back for more? I have been to functions, restaurants and catered events and always find myself saying; “there’s something missing.”

WHO AM I…

I am Lady J or affecti

onately known as First Lady Jean Jones, wife to Bishop Ronald Jones of New Life Body of Christ Church in Newark, New Jersey. I am also a mother of four, so it was imperative that I knew how to cook. Born in the South and raised by a southern Grandmother in Marion, South Carolina, my love for cooking began at the age of 11 when I would watch my Grandmother, Mother, and older sister prepare and cook meals for our family. My biggest influence was my older sister, Evelyn, who was an excellent cook and wonderful mentor. She inspired me to mimic her unforgettable recipes and create a few on my own. By the age of 13, I began to cook complete meals and desserts for my entire family of 10! As time went on, I grew a greater appreciation for cooking so I focused on developing my cooking and baking skills by altering family recipes and incorporating my southern roots into every dish. Furthermore, I enrolled into a Food Handling Certification program to ensure that I was aware of the basics of food safety, hygiene, contamination, temperature and cleaning. MY SPECIALITY IS…

Bringing the old & the new together. I take old favorite dishes and add new and combine them with new flavorful techniques to create delicious variations of family recipes. For the past 30 years, I have cooked for restaurants, church events, family reunions, nursing homes, corporate holiday parties, baby showers, Christmas parties, and private families. Every recipe ends with a hint, dash and scoop of love! My Signature Dishes are:
Sissy's Lemon Chicken Breasts
Chick String Beans
All-in-Divine Potato Salad

Signature Desserts:
Googly German Chocolate Cake
Pretty Peach Cobbler
Yum Yum Banana Pudding
Grandma's Sweet Potato Pie

Signature Gravy & Sauce:
