Beau is one heck of an artist. I have known Beau for a while now, but he still surprises me every time I see the lunchbox theme he creates. From Star Wars to Super Mario, Beau designs the most amazing and tasty lunches for his kids. Don’t just take my word for it. His work has been on Good Morning America, The Steve Harvey Show, as well as other television shows. He has been featured on ABCNews.com, The Huffington Post, Yahoo.com, and in People Magazine.

Rob Ainbinder – The Pitmaster Of Barbecue

Rob can grill with the best of them. I had the great opportunity to check out his food. It is really good! When I went to his house I saw how many grills and smokers he has in his backyard. He is very serious about grilling and smoking food. He has a website called Pitmaster Tools. You can go there for barbecue tutorials, information and accessories.

He wrote The Pitmaster’s Log Book. It is for home and competition barbecue teams who like to keep track of and log the outcome of every barbecue cook. Everything in his log book has a function. There are reference charts and cooking notes to help your grilling needs. He smoked a turkey on a charcoal grill which led to him getting his first offset barbecue pit. Many of his early cooks was written down on college rule paper. Those notes and then after led up to the Pitmaster’s Log Book. To purchase the book and to check out his site go to pitmastertools.com.

Derek Campanile – Dad With A Pan

I had Derek on one of my podcast shows a few years ago. Derek looks to share delicious, fun and easy to create family meals! His website, Dad With A Pan’s mission is to get dads who may or may not know how to cook, to give mom a night off in the kitchen. He wants to make it fun to come back to the table by enjoying great food. He does this by creating easy to following step-by-step recipes, as well as blog posts to give you ideas on putting together your own meals, getting the children involved, and tips and tricks. I have found that when you get your kids to help cook that dinner they tend to each everything on their plate. So make sure you go over to his site dadwithapan.com for a ton of great recipes.
