I’m a girl who loves the great outdoors and BBQ. I certainly didn’t pick up my barbecue skills as a kid. Growing up my family didn’t even have a grill. We would grill at Grandmas occasionally, but it was just hot dogs and hamburgers. To give you a better idea, the grill grates were always lined with foil. I did however fall in love with cooking at a very young age. I became addicted to barbecuing when my husband and I purchased the Char-Griller Texas Trio® in the summer of 2016. During the past couple of years, we’ve made traveling part of our lifestyle. That’s when barbecuing became a little bit of an obsession of mine. If I’m not grilling or BBQing, I’m cooking over an open fire. I truly believe where there is fire, you can cook anything! I’ve challenged myself to cook everything and anything outside, which includes baking on the grill too! I love developing recipes specifically dedicated to the great outdoors. If I’m not at home using my Texas Trio, I’m on the road camping using my AKORN® Jr. Kamado and Portable Flat Iron®. I’ve recently started my own blog and I’ve been lucky to have a couple of recipes published in magazines. I’m so incredibly grateful for this fun and exciting cooking journey. I’ll see you at the next BBQ!
