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!

Powdered Sunshine Kisses

Back when I was first married, I collected recipes like I was going to be Martha Stewart in the kitchen. Only problem was, I never cooked any of the recipes. I just collected them. Almost 16 years later, I finally tried one of those recipes. It was “a good thing”.

Powdered Sunshine Kisses
*Recipe from the Kansas City Star years and years ago

1 package (18-19 ounce) lemon cake mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Combine cake mix, egg, oil and water. Mixture will be slightly dry. Drop scoops of dough onto cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
