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!

French’s Crunchy Onion Chicken

It’s not the healthiest chicken recipe, but it sure is good! The worst thing about this recipe, I have to keep myself from eating the entire can of onions before I start cooking. The best thing about this recipe, it has the word ONION in the title and my kids still ate it...

Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches

I have been using my crockpot a lot lately. I heart my crockpot! It’s a working mom’s BFF. If you don’t use your crockpot at least once a week, you don’t know what you’re missing out on! Spend 5 minutes in the morning throwing in the ingredients and come home 8...

Rib-Eye Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce

If you aren’t going out this New Year’s Eve, but want something amazing for dinner, I have just the recipe for you. Every night since I fixed the Pioneer Woman’sRib-Eye with Whiskey Cream Sauce, I’ve dreamt about it in my sleep. I’ve salivated at my desk as my stomach growled in anticipation. It is simply mouth-wateringly...

Chicken Spaghetti

I’m always on the lookout for something different to try for dinner.  Chicken spaghetti may not be different for everyone, but I had never m tried it. We’ll be having more often now. Next time I make this dish, I’ll be freezing half for a readymade home cooked dinner at a later date. ...
