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!

It can be any flavor.
You can add fruit, if...

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar

I am bound and determined to find an asparagus recipe I really like. I can eat asparagus. I just can’t say I particularly enjoy eating asparagus. One thing I do love is balsamic vinegar. Surely it would make mask the taste of the asparagus. Right? I wouldn’t say I...

Parmesan Knots

For me, dinner just isn’t complete without good bread. I would never be successful at a carb. diet because I don’t think I could give up my love affair with bread. Actually, I don’t think I would be successful at any diet, for that matter. This recipe for Parmesan Knots is so...
