Welcome to CookingwithCarter 365!

Hi, I’m Chris Carter—husband to my wonderful wife, Shanna, and proud father to my daughters, Carsyn and Bailey, as well as my stepdaughter, Samantha. I’m also a grandfather to two amazing little ones, Nash and Wrenley. We call Waxahachie, Texas, home.

Cooking has always been a passion of mine. Before pursuing a career in education, I seriously considered culinary school and becoming a chef. But my love for working with kids led me down a different path—one that I’ve been dedicated to for the past 14 years, with eight of those years spent in an administrative role.

Luckily, I’ve found a way to blend both of my passions. Cooking has become more than just a hobby; it’s a way to save money, eat healthier, and work toward my personal fitness goals. As the primary cook in my family, I’ve committed to preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even the occasional indulgent dessert—making each meal an opportunity for creativity and connection.

I invite you to join me on this journey of flavorful, budget-friendly, and healthy cooking. Explore my website, try out new recipes, and consider subscribing for exclusive content and tips.

Let’s cook up something great together!
