Cooking with ChristyB bio picture

Cooking with ChristyB!

Those that know me are probably wondering why on earth I, of all people, would start a cooking blog.

My original intent was to become more organized by creating a weekly dinner menu for my family as a way to force myself to cook.

In turn, this blog was created as a way to force myself to keep up with my weekly dinner menus so I wouldn't let down my tens of readers by not posting. It's a vicious cycle.

I never claimed to be a very good cook though I do enjoy giving it the 'ol college try. My family says I cook "Cajun" (as in BURNT). I simply don't have the patience to hang around the kitchen while something is cooking and I routinely forget to set the timer which often results in "blackened" dishes.

With the creation of my weekly dinner menus, I have found a new passion for cooking. I don’t dread cooking meals (at least not every night). I by no means create any of the recipes shared on this blog. I simply enjoy researching new recipes and sharing them with my readers along with my main passion, photography, by photographing images of the final product.

I hope you enjoy reading about my cooking adventures. Maybe my dinner menus will encourage you to be more creative with your family’s dinner meals.

 Here’s to making a mess in the kitchen!

Love It! ~ Food Mandolin

Since it’s the weekend, I thought I would change things up a bit and post about one of my fave kitchen gadgets instead of sharing a recipe today.

Cooking Magazines ~ Love It!

I am a magazine junkie. If it’s not Better Homes & Gardens or Professional Photographers magazine, it’s cooking magazines. Imagine how happy I was when, out of the blue one day, a friend of mine, Tracy of Baked Bliss, asked me if I would be interested in some of her cooking magazines. ...

Love It! Kitchen Items Edition

Originally, I had an older model under the counter can opener in my kitchen. When I received my new love, I had to take the can opener down to make room for the big red beauty on my counter.
I went back to the hand held opener we received for a wedding gift...

Helpful Kitchen Tips

About a month ago I received a notification that I had a new Twitter follower. I get excited when I get a new follower. Someone out there is interested in my daily ramblings about nothing in particular. Only problem is, most of the time the “new follower” is a 20-something x-rated spammer that I’m pretty sure isn’t interested...

Ooops!

All this time I thought I had this cooking site ”right-click and copy” enabled so you could copy any recipes you wanted to print out.
Guess I was wrong.  (It happens a lot.  Sorry.)
It’s all fixed now.  Feel free to copy and print any recipes from this site to add to your recipe files.
