About

Hey y’all! Welcome to Petite Southern Kitchen! I’m Hayden Jordan, southern girl born and raised in West Texas, currently living in the “Deep South” (aka Mississippi) while my husband/high school sweetheart finishes up his medical residency.

Most days you can find me in our petite southern kitchen whipping up baked goods or savory dishes! I’m known for having a MAJOR sweet tooth and loving anything French (striped shirts, ballet flats, Julia Child, macaroons, brie, interiors, cookware, I could go on & on)!

Amongst family and friends, I’m often referred to as “the baker.” I developed a love for baking at a very young age and became known for my cookie cakes in college. It’s definitely a love language for me — “nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven,” right?! I really enjoy making savory dishes as well for my husband, friends, and family. Anything cheese-based has my name written all over it!

When I’m not in the kitchen you can catch me hunting for antiques, obsessing over interior design, traveling on the weekends, watching Barefoot Contessa, or reading at Starbucks (loyal fan)!

The things I am most passionate about in life are Jesus, relationships, food, and travel.

Through this blog, I want to inspire people to bring loved ones around the table by serving delicious FOOLPROOF recipes!

As Julia Child would say, “Bon Appétit!”
