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 lost my husband 5 years ago, unfortunately by his own hand and I feel your pain so deeply. I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling! Continued prayers for you and your sweet family. Can’t wait to try some of these great recipes.
Lori, my heart goes out to you and your loss. But you know why you having a blog in honor of him, you can keep him alive forever and ever in your heart and your mind and you know that you’ll see him again. God’s blessings to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss sending prayers to you and your family.
I am so sorry for you loss. So not right. My heart breaks for your family. Everyday I fear the same thing for my husband and daughter they were forced to do something to keep their jobs. And now with all the medical articles coming out, I keep thinking this will be the day. I pray not.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 6 1/2 years ago and there are still days that I don’t want to go on. But I do know that he is pain free and with his Lord and Savior. I will see him again, just as you will see your husband again. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
First let me tell you I’m so very sorry. Thank you for sharing with us.
I remember in the past I would see your video and just smile because you had the biggest smile on your videos. It will come back one day.
Every time I see your videos now, I text my husband I love you.
You are reaching a lot of people and helping them! Thank you!!!
Praying for you and your kids. So sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️
Lori, grief has so many faces and phases. You have weeks, maybe even months where your thoughts of him bring smiles and your days go by without that gut wrenching pain and then something it doesn’t have to be big triggers a memory and you are back on your knees sobbing and praying. Your grief is yours. Take as long as you need. To the people that tell you it’s time to move on, I shake my head at them. No one knows when it’s time to move on but you. From what I’ve seen on your pages you are doing a fine job of keeping your family together. Sending prayers hugs and love from a stranger to you and your family. Between you and God, you’ve got this girl. Might not be pretty at times, but it’s your beautiful mess!
God is with you, precious Lori. May you feel the Lord’s Presence ever so near. You are honoring Quintin’s legacy in such a special way. You made it through today and you will make it through tonight. Little steps seem so minor until you look back and see just how far you have come. Not that it’s a race, but it is a journey. You’re making it through. You are safe, you are loved, and you are never alone. ?
Thank you so much for your encouragement. We miss him so much. Hard to move forward, but we are trying one step at a time.
Lori i know how you feel. My husband of 38 years shot himself in front of me. To me his day i dont know why. He had some health issues but nothing like this. I didn’t know what to think or do without him. You literally have to create a new you because the other half is gone. I went to a psychologist that specializes in grief. That and the Lord got me through it. Fast forward ten years and i am remarried and very happy. I will never forget my deceased husband as he is forever in my heart. But i also know that their will be happiness’s fir you. Your kiddos growing up and you becoming a grandmother. One day at a time… one breath at a time. Love your heart and hope your children are navigating through their grief.
This is so awesome! Keeping him close!
Prayers for you and your family!!!!????
My condolences. ???
What an awesome way to keep Q’s memory with us all! I loved it when he would pop on!! Hugs and prayers to you and your family!
Praying for you and your family. I can’t imagine what you are going through. Don’t let anyone tell you how long to grieve. May God bless you!
Thank you for sharing these and your precious memories of Quintin. My heart goes out to you snd your beautiful children. Prayers are with you to find peace and comfort during this most difficult time.
