I read an article that was talking about how Americans are now cooking from home more than ever and that this trend will continue when quarantine is over. To sum it up we are now enjoying the art of cooking from home more than ordering takeout! I personally am a huge cook from home lover. I love the art of cooking food , I love cooking while singing, dancing and chatting in the kitchen with my family. For me its a form of zen that I really look forward to at the end of the day. And I am a HUGE leftover fan! I love homemade left overs!

But now that the weather is warming up those out door dinners are starting to happen, at least they are in my house. What better way to bring the fun of cooking inside to the outside? I love smoking and grilling outside. And I am truly loving the new Masterbuilt Gravity Series Grill & Smoker! I can control it with my phone, so I set the temperature and time from my kitchen while prepping. Its a game changer! If you want to kickstart your outdoor cooking as well click HERE!
