How It Got Started

Hi! I’m Christi - a Disney fanatic as well as wife and mother of one very energetic little boy.

Growing up, I never learned to cook. I did make strawberry jello and strawberry cupcakes with my grandmother, but literally, that was it. In college, I learned the infamous break-n-bake cookies, and I was good at it.  You can ask any of the guys I gave cookies to. It was like my calling card.

Fast forward to adult life and I decided that being 5’4” and 250 lbs wasn’t it for me anymore. I began the quest to lose weight and in doing so, learned that I enjoy cooking. Working through combinations of ingredients that ended up as something edible became not only a lesson in learning how to eat, but also my therapy.

Once I met my husband, I cooked even more, learning how to bake things from scratch as well as trying and modifying different recipes to fit my dietary wants and my husbands (and now my son’s) taste buds.

So, here we are. This is us. I’ll be posting different recipes and things I’ve tried, failed, modified and hopefully succeeded in making.

And, if you’ve made it this far, money’s on the table.
