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!

Easy Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

Yes, they were easy to make. Yes, they were kind of bland. I recommend you doctor this recipe up with spices or try one of the EXTRA TOUCHES at the end of the recipe if you give it a try. With that said, they weren’t awful and they are good for those...

Beef & Bean Burritos

In a pinch? Brown up some ground beef, add some enchilada sauce, refried beans and cheese and you’ll have a yummy dinner in no time. My kids loved this meal. They actually asked why we can’t have “normal” meals like this more often. They aren’t always fond of my random pizza...
