Jordan is a mother to three kids, Christian, Dylan, and James. She has always had a fondness for hosting parties, which she inherited from her mother, an exceptional hostess who played a significant role in their church community. Her mother, as the pastor's wife, was continuously involved in organizing church events, handling refreshments, running programs like VBS, and ensuring that significant milestones in the church members' lives were celebrated with elegance. Jordan also cherished helping her mother and enjoyed the process of preparing recipes and setting a welcoming table for guests.
During her time in the Chi Omega sorority, Jordan learned various crafting skills and became adept at do-it-yourself projects. She discovered how to transform an empty space into a magical-themed party venue with the help of talented sorority sisters. She picked up skills such as creating balloon arches, scrapbooking, assembling beautiful gift baskets, and organizing fantastic parties as part of the social committee.
Jordan has also had the privilege of attending some remarkable parties due to her family connections as the niece of Keith Richards and Patti Hansen. These experiences exposed her to exceptional food, which has served as inspiration for many of the recipes featured on Jordan's Easy Entertaining.
Her love for hosting extends to a wide range of events. With her children, Christian, Dylan, and James, aged 10, 6, and 2, she enjoys inviting fellow moms with young children for playdates. She relishes hosting intimate dinner parties, large family gatherings during the holidays, backyard barbecues, baby showers, and even contributing to wedding planning. Jordan's skills extend to baking and decorating specialty sugar cookies, and her passion for sweets led her to run a home bakery called Desert Flours Bakery.
