Cooker of Deliciousness!

I didn’t grow up loving to cook — in fact, until my 30s most of my meals came from the freezer. That changed in 2010 when I bought my first charcoal grill, a Weber kettle. I had no idea what I was doing, but the first time I used it I was hooked. Grilling led to experimenting with all kinds of cooking, and I’ve been learning (and messing up) ever since.

I’m not a chef or an expert — just someone who loves to cook and share food that works for family and friends. You won’t find fancy photography or staged shots here, just real recipes from a real kitchen. Hopefully, you’ll find something useful and delicious to take with you.
