About Me
My wife started to call me Cheap Bastid a while back because I enjoyed coming up with dinners that cost next to nothing--and making them taste good. I'm just a home cook who grew up in a home where cooking was from scratch and was a little bit Midwest and a little bit country. I love to cook and I love to cook good food cheap. And I write about my cooking and my recipes so that I can share them with you.
