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!

Beer Battered Chicken Fingers

There will be no more frozen chicken fingers in my house because the dog is usually the only one that will eat them.  After I made these Beer Battered Chicken Fingers, the dog went hungry while the rest of the family devoured every last crumb.  Yum!

Beer Battered Chicken Fingers
*Recipe from TastyKitchen.com

4 whole chicken breasts, cut into strips
½ cups cheap beer, divided
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon Lowery’s Seasoning Salt
1 teaspoon Season-All (I didn’t have any of this, so I didn’t use it.)
½ teaspoons garlic salt

Place chicken strips in a shallow dish, cover with 1/4 cup beer and let marinade for 20-30 minutes.
Gently mix flour, seasonings and 1/4 cup beer together in a separate shallow dish. The flour will still be dry, but will also be crumbly looking.
Heat 1-inch vegetable oil in a deep everyday pan to 325-degrees.

Coat 5 chicken strips at a time with flour mixture and gently place in hot oil.
Cook until golden brown on each side, remove and cook remaining chicken.
Place cooked chicken on paper towels to drain.

Dip in your favorite sauce and enjoy!
