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!

Sweet & Sour Green Beans

Nothing beats fresh snapped green beans slow cooked with onions and bacon. But, sometimes fresh geen beans aren’t an option. If you’re forced to use canned green beans, sometimes it can be fun to mix it up a bit. This recipe is a nice mix of sweet and sour and yummy green...

Spinach Salad with Cranberries

Believe me when I tell you, this salad is A-MA-ZING! A friend made it for a party recently and I had to have the recipe. I’m not even craving sweets right now (and I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to sugar), I’m craving this salad. It’s so good!
