Meet Neisbae

Hey y’all! I’m Jeanne’ (juh-nay) aka Neisbae, and if you’re here, you probably love food as much as I do. Growing up in Tulsa, I was that kid who dreamed big—like opening-my-own-restaurant big. I started cooking at 14, fueled by a passion that I didn’t fully understand at the time. Fast forward to today, I’m not running a restaurant, however, I’m sharing my love for food with over 100K of you on Instagram. I never imagined that passion would turn into what it is now—a thriving space where foodies come together to create, share, and enjoy amazing meals at home.

As much as I love all things food, I do more than cook. I just finished up my bachelor's in Marketing at OSU-Tulsa (Go Pokes!). Right now, I’m taking a gap year to build my professional experience as a Program Coordinator with Women Empowering Nations (WEN). WEN is a nonprofit focused on empowering and mentoring young women globally. I also host a podcast called Breaking Expectations, where I explore what it means to navigate womanhood as a Black woman, grow in faith, and overcome the challenges life has thrown my way. When I’m not busy with those things, I’m spending time with family, reading a good book, or watching one of my guilty pleasures on Netflix.

But at the end of the day, food is where my heart truly lies. Here, you’ll find a variety of dinner ideas—everything from homemade soul food to desserts, trending recipes, and even restaurant reviews. I hope to inspire you to discover your own love for cooking. Making homemade meals doesn’t have to be a chore—it can be fun and incredibly rewarding! So, what are you waiting for? Dive into my delicious recipes and step-by-step cooking tutorials.
