Who Are We?

Meet Mike and Stacy, a Canadian couple whose culinary journey spans over two decades, inspired by their blended family of ten children.

In the world of outdoor cooking, Mike and Stacy each have their unique style.

Mike is the grill master, with a collection of grilling equipment to prove it. His go-to tools are his Weber Kettle and Oklahoma Joe Smoker, which he uses to create mouthwatering BBQ dishes. Whether he’s searing steaks, smoking ribs, or trying out new techniques, Mike is always ready to share his knowledge and engage in lively discussions about outdoor cooking.

Stacy, meanwhile, excels at creating family meals on her gas grill. She’s the queen of quick, flavorful dishes perfect for busy weeknights. Recently, she’s fallen in love with her Blackstone Griddle, adding a new dimension to her culinary skills. Stacy’s approach to outdoor cooking focuses on convenience and flavour, making her meals a hit with their large family.

With their newest addition, a PitBoss pellet smoker, together they are creating new recipes from smoked brisket to desserts. 

While BBQ and grilling are their mainstays, Stacy is also an avid baker. She draws inspiration from her French Canadian roots and loves creating new recipes to delight their family. Fall and the festive season leading up to Christmas are her favourite times to bake, with her cookies, cakes, and pastries filled with the warmth of cherished family traditions.

Mike and Stacy invite you into their culinary world, where the harmony of their diverse passions creates a vibrant array of flavours and experiences. Explore their recipes for a delectable mix of BBQ and baking that will tantalize your taste buds and warm your heart.

Stacy is also the voice behind BBQ and Baking the Podcast, with new episodes airing weekly. 

A Little More History About Us

Although our journey together started over 20 years ago, our online journey started in 2019 with Beer, BBQ, Books, and Baking. In 2023, we revamped our website to BBQ and Baking. We narrowed down our focus to recipes we create in our home for our family and friends. 

This little hobby Stacy had of sharing our recipes has developed into our passion. Together, we create not only the food and recipes we share here and on our social profiles, but we also love the community that is built around our food. We love sharing our recipes, and we love hearing from our followers who leave comments and reviews of our recipes. 

With a family as large as ours, we have learned to make great food that feeds a family without breaking the bank. That is why we focus on simple and budget-friendly meals that are realistic. 

We believe that everyone should learn to cook. We have taught all of our children to cook as well as helped some of their friends learn the basics. That is why we keep our recipes simple and easy to make, so everyone can make them.
