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!

Wind & Willow Mixes

Here is a great idea for an affordable holiday gift. Or, if you aren’t one for cooking, wow your family by making one of these delicious mixes and let them think you made it from scratch! Wind and Willow offers a complete line of Dips, Cheeseball Mixes, Soup Mixes, Bread Mixes and Cheesebake (cheesecake) Mixes.

How does Chocolate Amaretto Cheesebake sound?

Bruchetta Appetizer Mix. My mouth is watering.

How about some Southern Cornbread?

Home late from work? Mix up a quick batch of Baked Potato Soup.

Or, if you have unexpected guests, why not mix up some Blue Buffalo Dip Mix? I’m thinking Super Bowl Party here.

I first learned of these delicous little $5 mixes when I spotted them at a local Hallmark store. I had a meeting coming up so I grabbed this Dulce de Leche Cheeseball Mix. I literally just mixed in some cream cheese, plopped the mix on a plate to resemble a ball, squeezed on the caramel packet and sliced some strawberries. What is easier than that? And, it was DELICIOUS and no one even had to know I didn’t make it from scratch! :-)
