As I am a flatbed trucker I initially designed this while using a Coleman propane grill and butane stove top while on the road. (For an Al Pastor remix, use 1/3cp orange juice and 1/8cp fresh pineapple juice in lieu Of Corana.)

No culinary experience. Watched a lot of Food Shows, and just enjoy cooking new things. I’m trucker, so most of my meals are made when I am home. I dabble in both my own creations as well as sharing some of the best from other recipes such as HelloFresh and online searches. Presentation, obviously, is all me.
