Welcome
Hi, I’m Christine
I started creating food recipes, photographs, and videos back in 2013 under the name Burnt Macaroni and just recently changed the name to Kindly Sweet. I love creating recipes and stories around them but found myself drawn more toward baking these days.
My other passion is creating cheese boards. I have been making cheese boards since I started dating my husband, Mark. Our Saturdays included shopping for wine and cheese and then making a giant cheese board out of what we found. We came up with some wonderful combinations. Check out my Cheese Board section to be inspired.
I am also obsessed with food photography. Check out my latest photography on my Instagram account! And make sure you say hello!

Where this all began
Growing up an Irish girl from the Bronx, our cooking style was simple…meat and potatoes! My Ukrainian grandmother added a little spice to our life but I must say, I grew to love Irish Stew and Irish Soda Bread! You definitely have to check out my Grandmother’s Irish Soda Bread recipe. As I ventured into the world, my palette grew and my love for food and the experience of a great meal became my hobby. I love that food is a great equalizer. And nothing is better than good food, good conversation, and good friends!

My Other Life
As a television producer, I have met some incredible chefs who inspire me. I had the distinct honor of meeting my greatest inspiration of all, Julia Child. What a lovely woman! I was hoping that someday her good cooking mo-jo would rub off on me. Fingers crossed! I thought you might enjoy this photo! It makes me smile whenever I see it.
My dream of writing is also starting to come true. I was so excited to be featured on “The Huffington Post” as part of Arianna Huffington’s Thrive series. Here’s a look at my article “I Wanted to Be Successful and Raise my Kids”.
I am also a member of the Today Show Parenting Team! I am honored to be part of this amazing group of parents.
