Follow my vlog for budget friendly tips and recipes which I use regularly. I was motivated to share when the kids moved away from home. My idea was to encourage them to cook food from scratch in their home. To know how repurpose leftovers (Encore Eats).

This website has many recipes, directions and short videos for anyone who wants to know "How to at home" with Chef Chris.
Cheers, Chris Mac
