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! 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 almost 16 years ago. It was so hard to turn and a girl could very easily break a fingernail trying to use that thing.

I asked for, and received, a One Touch Automatic Can Opener for my birthday earlier this month. You know, one of those As Seen on TV items that they carry at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was skeptical whether it would actually work. If you could see my nails right now, all grown out and purty, you would know how well this little gadget works. Just pop that thing on the top of a can and press the button. Away it goes all by itself. It’s amazing. And best of all, it’s small enough to throw right in the drawer with my other cooking gadgets. It’s the best As Seen on TV product I’ve got. My OxyClean runs a close second.

And that’s my version of a Try It Before You Buy It segment. I give it TWO THUMBS UP! Yes, I would buy it. Except, I don’t have to. I got it for my birthday. :-) Now, I wonder if the ShamWow really works…
