Welcome! I’m Melissa Reome the author, cook, photographer and mastermind behind Grill Momma. Since I was old enough to reach the stove, I have always loved to cook. Growing up, it was helping my mother after her long days at work. When I became a mother myself, I loved to cook for my own family as well as friends. My cooking expertise ranges from both indoor and outdoor cooking with an ever bigger focus on the realm of grilling outdoors in my later years.
I love to grill on all different types of equipment ranging from live fire cooking over wood or charcoal, on gas grills, Kamado style cooking, pellet grills, my offset smoker and just about everything in between. There is a beauty in knowing as long as you have an adequate heat source and know how to manage temperature, you can cook just about anything, anywhere.
In 2016, our team “Eggcellent Eats” competed at Big Green Egg Eggtoberfest event in Stone Mountain Georgia and took 2nd place our first year competing. The following year 2017, we came back to proudly capture the 1st place title. After collaborating, planning for months and ultimately cooking with that great team, I’m thrilled to say, I became lifelong friends with many of my teammates. Sharing a common interest of grilling with a group of such great people brought me so much joy.
Once I publicly started sharing my love of grilling, it became an adventure. I was teaching grilling classes in Texas, traveling for events here in the U.S. and cooking for thousands in Canada. I was even fortunate to cover an event in Dublin, Ireland. Traveling kept me busy with something I loved and exposed me to a lot of great people and great food.
Grilling is not something that is just for the guys and should not be intimidating I promise you! Let me show you that with a little guidance, you too can create fabulous meals on and off the grill with little effort. I would love for you to join me on my culinary journey!
