This blog has been created to honor the memory of our dad, Keith Smith, who had a passion for food and family. To honor our mom, who continues to fill her home with the wonderful aroma of a homecooked meal when we gather. And to start a collection of recipes cherished by our family and all of your families so that they will live on forever.
Our Inspiration
My dad has had a passion for cooking, grilling and smoking food for as long as I can remember. The best part of the weekend was seeing what he was going to throw on the grill or smoker next.
Food was a big part of our family growing up. dad took care of the outdoor cooking and mom created her own masterpieces inside. My Sister and I, we just ate it all.
Our family couldn’t afford all of the fancy equipment and accessories that the pros say are a “must have” for a great BBQ, but you would have never known that by tasting our families cooking. They knew the secret of making any recipe the best it could be and I am going to share that secret with you right now. That secret is LOVE!
Our dad always said:
“If you put love into your food, your food will love you back.”
In 2014, we lost our dad and it seemed that all of the great food he made went with him because I never really took the time to learn the tricks to his trade. So, that is what brings us here.
Our Mission
We are on a mission to gather up all of the great recipes that our family and friends cherish, along with the recipes loved by your friends and family. And at the same time try to learn how to put the love that my dad had for cooking into every dish we create.
We also feel that it is important to keep your friends and family close and gather whenever possible. Family Grillin’ wants to help give you the the resources and ideas you need to plan the perfect gathering.
Please join us on our journey to keep the memory of our dad alive and to honor all of our family that we love so much!
