The day has finally come!
A day that, just a couple years ago, I never could’ve imagined. And if you came from the future and told me this would happen I probably would’ve laughed and told you to FK off, lol.
I poured my whole heart into this book, and I hope that shines through when your copies show up this week. But none of this would’ve been possible without every single one of my real supporters who’ve shown love post after post, share after share, like after like. More than some so called friends and family. Yeah I said it! But it’s true 💯
The effort y’all put in to support me and my content every single time… man, it’s unreal. I honestly don’t know what I did in life to deserve this kind of love. From day one, y’all have had my back, and that support got me through more than you know.
I’m a fkn AUTHOR!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m forever grateful for the continued support. I love y’all for real!
Huge thank you to everyone behind the scenes who believed in me and helped bring this vision to life especially @quartobooksus for helping make this dream real.
P.S.
If you pre-ordered from @amazon @barnesandnoble @walmart or anywhere else please keep the love going and leave a positive review!
Reviews mean everything and can make a huge difference in the success of this release. It only takes a few seconds, and it would mean the world to me and everyone who worked so hard on this project.

Stay tuned for giveaways with brand partners and signed giveaways!

Smoked Cajun Honey Turkey Breast
Smoked up this juicy Texas Style Turkey Breast on my @pkgrills 360 on a beautiful rainy day ❤️
I’ve watched OGs cook on these grills for years and now I finally understand the hype! This little beast can smoke, grill, and even break down for portability. Plus, the cast aluminum construction means no worrying about rust.
But what I love most is having it right on my deck overlooking the backyard. Rainy days like this, relaxing under the patio, cooking good BBQ, and feeding my family. Doesn’t get much better than that! ❤️🔥
FULL RECIPE 👇🏽
1. Remove the skin from the turkey breast.
2. Coat both sides with @bearandburtons Everyday Hot Sauce as a binder. Season generously with my Cajun Honey Rub @tftibbq.shop and @fiestaspices 16-mesh black pepper.
3. Insert a @thermoworks RFX Mini to monitor the internal temperature.
4. Set up a two-zone fire using @jealousdevilcharcoal Max Briquettes and applewood chunks. Maintain 225–250°F throughout the cook.
5. Once the turkey breast reaches 160°F internal, remove it from the smoker. Wrap with butter and @tryfirenectar Hot Honey, then place it in my @bbq_dripez BBQ Blanket to rest for 1 hour. Make sure it reaches a safe 165°F during the rest.
Juicy, tender, smoky, and packed with flavor! 💰
If you’re looking for an easy smoked turkey breast recipe for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or your next backyard BBQ, this is one you’ll want to SAVE!

Cheers to 1M 🥃
Thanks for the countless messages and texts 🙏🏽
It might not mean much to some, but to those of us who hustle for a living on this app, it means a ton.
THANK Y’ALL! Every like, comment, share, save, purchase, and message has helped get me here. I don’t take any of it for granted.
This was NEVER about being popular. It was about doing something I genuinely love. BBQ, cooking and creating cool videos! Sharing my passion, what I’ve learned, and hopefully helping others become better at their own along the way.
I know not everyone follows because they support me. Some are just watching, comparing, or waiting to see what’s next. I see y’all in my stories 👀. I’m not here for a Fkn popularity contest. But the overwhelming majority of y’all genuinely fuck with me, support my family, buy my products, and cheer me on. This post is for YOU! 🫵🏽
What started as something fun turned into a business that completely changed my family’s life. It’s allowed us to move somewhere we’ve always dreamed of, build something we’re proud of, and create opportunities I never imagined. Most importantly, I get to show my kids that anything is possible regardless of where you come from.
And I’m damn proud of HOW we got here.
No videographer. No editor. No agent. No manager. No big team. No TV show. Just me in my backyard, phone and computer teaching myself how to film, edit, and tell stories through a camera. That’s not a flex, that’s facts!
I never chased an algorithm or tried to become someone I wasn’t. I created what I enjoyed, stayed true to myself, and kept showing up. My family believed in me when plenty of others didn’t.
Doing what I love, providing for my family, and inspiring others will always mean more than any number on a screen.
From the bottom of my heart, thank y’all for believing in me and fucking with me.
Love y’all! ❤️💯
P.S. I still remember everyone who doubted me when I walked away from an amazing job to pursue my passion. I’ll never forget the question they always asked: “How’s your little social media thing working out for you?”

Hospitality is our game. The people are our judges.
Team Melinda’s NorCal brought home the first-ever Hospitality Award and second place in People’s Choice at @openfiremeatup. Being chosen by the people means everything to us.
Our Melinda’s Wing Battle wowed the crowd, our brand tent and hospitality lounge welcomed everyone, and Chef Matias Casotto @1415asado brought the fire with an incredible steak slider for our VIP guests. A little something for everybody, served with love.
When Team Germany @fuegos_del_norte lost their sponsor at the last minute, we stepped up to help our brothers get there and compete. That’s what community looks like. A team built on love and mutual respect is an unstoppable force.
Thank you to @openfiremeatup @alfrugoni @quailcrossingranch for bringing this community together, and @bluesmokeblaire and @carlapesono for helping us put on a show.
