Hi, I’m Lina Christie—welcome to MashandMix, my cozy corner of the internet where food, creativity, and connection come together.

I’ve always believed that food is more than just fuel—it’s love, comfort, tradition, and joy all rolled into one. Whether it’s a warm batch of cookies shared with family or a quick weeknight dinner that saves the day, the kitchen has always been my happy place. That’s why I created this blog: to share easy, flavorful recipes that bring people together.

Here on MashandMix, you’ll find recipes that fit into real life. Think simple ingredients, easy steps, and satisfying flavors. From 30-minute dinners to no-fuss desserts and holiday favorites, everything I post is designed to help you spend less time cooking and more time enjoying good food with the people you love.

As someone who knows how hectic daily life can be, I’m all about meals that are quick to make but still taste like you spent hours in the kitchen. I also enjoy crafting copycat recipes inspired by popular restaurants—so you can recreate your favorite dishes from places like Olive Garden, Panera, or Chick-fil-A right at home (and often for a lot less!).

What makes MashandMix different? Every recipe I share has been tested in my home kitchen—often more than once—to make sure it’s reliable, delicious, and worth your time. I also include helpful tips, substitutions, and serving ideas to make each recipe work for your lifestyle, whether you’re cooking for picky eaters, dietary preferences, or just trying to stretch ingredients a little further.

This blog is for anyone who loves good food but doesn’t want to overcomplicate things. You don’t need to be a professional chef to make something amazing—just a little guidance, a dash of curiosity, and a willingness to try.

You can follow along on Facebook and Pinterest where I regularly share my latest creations, cooking tips, and inspiration for easy meals that wow.

And if you ever have a question, want to request a specific recipe, or just want to say hello—don’t be shy! I love connecting with readers and fellow home cooks. Feel free to drop a comment or reach out through the contact form.

Thank you for stopping by MashandMix. Whether you’re here for a quick dinner idea or just browsing for baking inspiration, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make something delicious together and turn everyday moments into something special—one recipe at a time.

Happy cooking,
Lina ❤️
