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.

Fresh Mango Salsa
I’m always looking for new flavors and ways to make my usually penchant for “meat and potatoes” just a little healthier. We all know that more fruit and vegetables are good for us but the biggest thing is to make … Continue reading
