Hey there! My name is James!
Welcome to Cason Cooks!
A little about myself – I am a father, a bread winner, a strong member of my faith, and an avid video game enthusiast.
And I. Love. To. COOK!
I have been cooking for as long as I can remember. My dad started me out on toast and dish duty. We had what we needed as I grew up, but never a whole lot. It didn’t help that I was a student athlete and could eat a pound of pasta on my own outside of what the rest of the family ate. So I learned early on how to make delicious and wholesome food on a tight budget.
I’ve been married now for a little over 6 years. My sweet wife and I have an adorable toddler named Tim. We’ve been blessed with the least picky eater in the world. He always tries stuff at least once, and is always begging to eat my spicy chips or new veggies.There is very little he won’t eat – which is good because he is a little garbage disposal! He is always eating. We know we are lucky to have such an easy going kid, and we are hoping against hope all of our children eat like him
I’m sure you are wondering what lead me to blogging. Cooking has always been a passion of mine. My favorite times are when I get to plan a menu for an event and go over the top to feed our guests. I’ve always received compliments at work when I bring enough to share. Another passion of mine is helping others. I know from lots of personal experience how to eat on a budget and I want to share that knowledge with others.
So I am writing a blog for people like me and my family. People who have little to work with but don’t want to eat bland boring food night after night. People who like to know where their food comes from and be able to pronounce all of the ingredients. People who like making things the old fashioned way.
I promise to only show you recipes I know and love. I promise to keep my posts short and my food delicious. Be prepared for more than just recipes, as I will be posting cooking techniques I’ve learned, products I love, and other helpful kitchen tips and hacks I come across.
Something that makes us unique is how this blog will come about. Though I love to cook new and interesting food, I am not so great with expressing my thoughts and feelings. That is where my wife Lexi comes in. She is quite the word smith, and is such a blessing to me. So though the words behind what you read will be my own, she will be ghost writing everything for me. She is so amazing, sweet, beautiful, helpful, wonderful, hard working and all around perfect. { 😉 } Without her this blog would not be what it is today.
So welcome! I hope we can bring you some joy in your kitchen and your day with the simple offering I bring. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our mailing list so you can keep up do date with our newest recipes and tips!
