What’s Cooking in the Kitchen of Kristi Bailey?
Kristi Bailey of Weaverville
is a busy mother of four young children. She enjoys cooking but can sometimes run low on extra time, as you can imagine. “I really love to cook, especially when I have the time and re- sources,” she said. “I like to be creative, changing up recipes by adding new ingredients to them.” Bailey first learned to cook primarily on her own af- ter she was married. Crock-pot meals, chicken dishes and kid- friendly recipes are her favorites to make. Originally from Jefferson City,
Tenn., Bailey grew up in the Le- icester community. She is a 1990 graduate of Erwin High School. She went on to graduate from Western Carolina University in 1994 with her bachelor’s degree in special education. Two years later, she also earned her master’s degree from WCU in behavioral disorders. Bailey worked as a special education teacher in the Asheville area for eight years be- fore coming home full-time to be with her young children. She began home schooling five years ago and continues to. Her hus- band Chad is a purchasing agent for Termo-Fisher. Tey are the proud parents of four children: Hayden (8), Auburn (6), Bren- dan (4) and Ian (2). Tey are active members of North Point Baptist Church, where Bailey serves in the children’s ministry. She is also an assistant director of her home school co-op and
a test administrator for Woodcock Johnson testing. In her free time, she enjoys walking, reading, being outdoors and vegetable gardening. Here are a few of her favorite recipes to share:
