Hi. I'm Derek!
I AM A DAD, FOOD BLOGGER, AND FIXER OF BROKEN TOYS.
I’m a home cook, grill and barbecue junkie – and love fishing out doors.
But most of all, I love to sharing meals I create for my family!
My passion in life to use food to take a break from life, and re-connect as a family at the dinner table.
I love encouraging families to cook by sharing recipes, tips and tricks that make cooking simple, enjoyable and delicious!
