Hi, I’m Blair, the cook, writer and photographer at Cookin’ Skinny! I blog because I like to eat, and I like to share the things I make.
I started Cookin’ Skinny as a way to fulfill my passion for cooking and to share my love of a healthy lifestyle, entertainment, good friends and of course, good food.
I recently moved from Dallas to Chicago. I travel when I get the chance, and you’ll start to notice that a lot of my inspiration in the kitchen comes from the food I’ve seen and tasted while traveling.
Besides my love for food, I design websites and blogs by day at my design company, Leap. I also adore peonies, hydrangeas, a good Italian Prosecco, white dishes and I think that no girl can have enough shoes.
My Kitchen
My kitchen isn’t just where I cook; it’s where stories are simmered, memories are baked, and everyday ingredients are turned into something special. From slicing fresh herbs to simmering cozy stews in my favorite Dutch oven, this space fuels both my creativity and my soul.
I love partnering with brands that align with my values and style—whether it’s wholesome ingredients, beautiful cookware, or anything that inspires a vibrant life in the kitchen. As a brand ambassador, I offer long-term partnerships that include authentic content creation, dedicated social media promotion, and ongoing visibility across my blog and channels. Past partnerships include collaborations with brands like Le Creuset, Simple Mills, and Vital Proteins.
Photography is where recipes come to life. I specialize in capturing food in a way that feels real, vibrant, and crave-worthy. Whether you’re a brand needing high-quality content for your website, packaging, or social media, I deliver styled, high-resolution images that celebrate your product at its best. I’m available for both remote and on-location shoots.
Looking to get your product in front of an engaged and food-loving audience? I offer sponsored posts that seamlessly integrate your brand into my recipe development and storytelling. I craft each post with care—complete with SEO-optimized content, Pinterest-ready graphics, and strong calls to action. Brands I’ve worked with in this space include Nature’s Path, GreenPan, and Bob’s Red Mill.
Great food deserves to look as good as it tastes. Whether it’s for cookbooks, commercial campaigns, or social content, I offer professional food styling services that highlight color, texture, and composition. I bring a natural yet polished aesthetic that enhances the appeal of your product or dish. Let’s make your food shine on camera!
Thanks for stopping by! We hope you enjoy the recipes and even have a little fun while making them!
Cheers to living the good life!
