I want to invite you into a very special corner of my blog— a loving tribute to my incredible husband, Quintin who was not only my partner in life & business – he was the undisputed king of the grill.
This page is dedicated to his best grilling and BBQ creations that we enjoyed during countless joyful gatherings in our backyard with the family – as well as some of Quintin's favorite recipes from years of working together on the Crazy Busy Mama site together.
From perfectly charred steaks to tender, smoky ribs, each recipe here holds a cherished memory of laughter and love shared under open skies. Quintin didn’t just cook; he created experiences, turning each meal into a celebration of life’s simplest pleasures.
He had a knack for storytelling and often shared his pearls of wisdom with us over these meals, enriching every dish with the flavor of his philosophies and the warmth of his laughter.
These recipes are a reflection of those precious moments. They embody his passion for grilling and his gift for connecting with others through food and conversation.
Each recipe invites you to not just cook, but to share stories, impart wisdom, take pictures of family meals – and make memories.
So, let’s fire up the grill and keep his spirit alive—gather your loved ones and enjoy these beloved flavors, letting the magic of his words and the joy of his cooking bring us all closer together.

I admire you so much for doing this. I will definitely be trying a number of these recipes. I will share something that was just told to me yesterday…grief is a journey, not a destination and it looks different for everyone. Grieve in your own way and in your own time. Peace, blessings and prayers to you and your family.
You are an amazing woman and an inspiration to so many. Q was a fishing friend of mine from Lake Viking. He was an awesome fisherman and friend. He came through for me more than once and helped me a great deal become the fisherman I am today. I will miss him greatly and hope to one day meet you and the children. God Bless you, Ross Wood
Lori, my heart breaks for what you and your beautiful family are going through. We are all here for you, lifting you up in prayer and I even cry with you. Most importantly, Jesus is walking beside you. You are never alone. Lean on your strong faith. My life-verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
I have been going through your recipes, and Q’s favs, I will be making many of them.
Sending you hugs, love and prayers.

So sorry for your loss, prayers for strength n comfort to you and your family ❤️
Lori, Your husband reminds me of my dad! He often told me that people will forget things about you, but they will never forget how you made them feel! So let that thought bring a smile to their face when they think of you! Your husband sounds like an amazing person & I am so sorry for your loss. As time goes on, it gets a little bit easier, but there will always be that giant hole that can’t be filled by anyone except him. I am praying ?? for you that God give you comfort & help you & your children navigate through the really tough months ahead. ?? ❤
