Hi! I’m Katie. In addition to being the VP of Sales here at Wildwood Grilling, I’m a trail runner, yoga instructor, mountain biker, snowboarder, nordic skier, and backcountry enthusiast. Oh, and I’m a PNWBA barbecue judge. Bring me ribs and I’ll tell you what I think, and how I would score said ribs!

I like grilling and smoking stuff. Like, a lot. I have four Weber grills, a Big Green Egg, and a home-made cinder block smoker. Outdoor cooking is taken pretty seriously at my house.

My approach to eating changes seasonally and my cooking abilities have evolved with those changing tastes.

I love food without restriction – there is such a wild world of ingredients with which to experiment. That said, I am unabashedly in for some trendy diets.  Playing with Keto, Paleo, plant-based, and other ingredient-restricted diets can make for inspiring creative constraints. I climb aboard and subsequently fall off passing crazes with curiosity and glee.

Basically, I’m just a lady from Idaho that likes to play outside, throw outdoor parties, and eat really good food. Then talk about how good the party was and how I could go for another serving of brisket.
