By day, I’m working from my home studio in Los Angeles. But during the holidays, I head out and visit relatives for some quality family time – and food.

If you’re looking for a great gift idea for the holidays, check out what I got my brother-in-law. It’s called the Meater, and it’s a smart cooking thermometer that takes the guesswork out of roasting and grilling. It’s been a huge hit around the house.
