Grill Master Hacks: How To Make Charcoal Grilling Way More Fun. Created with: Kick Ash Basket.
I have been using the Kick Ash Basket™ products since 2015 when I first met its creator, Chad Romzek, at Eggtoberfest. During this event held in Stone Mountain, GA, I was first introduced to the product and its benefits. This was the first generation basket and we were all blown away by the added airflow that it provided in our ceramic grills! Chad had provided a few so we immediately added the baskets to every Big Green Egg grill we could.

How Cooking Lets Me Be an Imperfectionist
I am a perfectionist with almost everything I do. And while some might consider it my superpower, it gets exhausting. I constantly revise and rewrite drafts of pretty much all my writing. I only ever paint landscapes or flowers because I can never get noses right. Sometimes I even refold the laundry when my husband isn’t looking.

Sacher's Torte
Franz gently stirred the dark chocolate bars until they were partially melted over the double boiler. Then gradually adding the carefully prepared, thread-thin, sugar water, he combined them into a smooth, silky, pool of decadence. His taste buds tingled, and he began to salivate as the aroma of cocoa wafted through the air.

Eat More Plants Please
Making the transition to a plant-based diet is easier than you think but it does take some perseverance. Like any new challenge, if you try to tackle it all at once, you will quickly become consumed by the overwhelming amount of information available. Recipes, influencers, nutritional recommendations, and plant-based food substitutes will bombard you from every direction, and good luck trying to avoid that one vegan friend of yours who has suddenly taken an intense interest in your health and well-being (I know because I’ve been that friend a time or two).

Sushi: The National Dish of Sami-land...
It was the night of October 26, 2013, and I was crying incessantly on the phone to my mother. My Christmas break was just over a month away, and I was slated to return home to Jamaica for a month to await the new semester. The problem was, I did not want to go home—not because I don’t love my home country, but because there was someone in another country I couldn’t wait to meet. She was only three months old at the time and probably wouldn’t know who I was if she saw me, but that didn’t matter. She was my niece, and I was adamant that I had to meet her before her first birthday. Sami was born in Nagoya, Japan, in July 2013 and was my sister’s first child. My mom, sister and I lived in three different countries, so it was expected that we wouldn’t always share in big moments such as the birth of my niece. Despite this, I was eager to be there for my sister physically to share in her blessing, even if it meant visiting months later.

Waffle House - Immune System of the SouthEast U.S.
I knew it was all going to hell when Waffle House closed down for more than three days. Waffle House is a staple of trucker diets, road trips, drunk expenditures, stoned experiments, and this-is-the-only-viable-option-out-here-besides-McDonalds, meals. It's hard to drive a significant distance across the Southeast without passing by at least three of those suckers. From Charleston to Savannah, Mobile to Richmond, and even some in the northeast if you can believe it.

Connecting with Great Food, People and Places, Provence
On a glorious New England summer day I prepare a French meal I will soon serve to a group of close friends on my well-worn tablecloth that sports sunflowers and lavender. As I lay out this precious keepsake, I'm immediately transported back to Provence.

Champei's Amok
When I was eighteen, I was in the peak of my youth and having just been freed from the clasps of school, I packed a bag and lived solo in Cambodia for six months. The first moments that I spent in Cambodia, from stepping off the plane to sitting on the gutter with a lady who had no teeth but the biggest smile eating amok are the clearest in my memory.

Garlicky Green Beans with Nuts & Raisins
One of the absolutely best parts of traveling, is newfound food! There is always something novel to try—especially when you travel outside of your country of origin. I’ve eaten green beans all my life, but growing up in the USA, it was always in just two boring ways: 1) Boiled with bacon, to flavor them; or 2) Slathered with mushroom soup, cheese, and dried onions in a green been casserole. It was only after I first moved to Australia (as an expatriate for a while), that during supper at the home of some hospitable mates (friends), they excited my taste buds with green beans as I had never before experienced them! Thus, I call this dish: “Australian Green Beans” (even though I suspect it probably originated somewhere in Africa). Who knew green beans could be so exciting? It’s an easy dish to make, too.
