As New Yorkers cook and prepare for Thanksgiving, Manhattan baker Janine Deegan is also spending time in the kitchen.

Janie once struggled with addiction and homelessness and it was as she worked to integrate herself back into society, that she re-discovered her love for baking.

In 2015, she founded Janie's Life-Changing Baked Goods. Now, she has three storefronts across the city — in East Harlem, the Upper West Side and West Village.

Anchor Stef Manisero sat down with Deegan Sunday on NY1.
