Classic Bacon Cheeseburger, let's build it together.

I grilled the burger using @bearmountainbbq pellets, gourmet blend, and cooking directly over the fire. With my burger on the bottom shelf and bacon dripping from the shelf above. Once the first side had a good crust I flipped it and topped it with a 2 year aged @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. While the burger was cooking, I sliced up some iceberg lettuce, sliced and salted tomato and pulled out a few slices of @grillospickles and a slice of red onion. I like to pat dry the pickles and tomato to help keep the burger from getting soggy when it's all stacked up. As the bacon and burger finish cooking I put my @carbonautbaking bun on the top shelf of the grill.

To assemble, I layer some @terrapinridgefarms everything aioli on the bottom bun, then the lettuce and tomato to protect the bun from the burger followed by the pickles, onion and bacon. Finally a little yellow mustard goes on the top bun and everything is stacked up beautifully.

Happiness is steak and eggs for breakfast

Flat iron steaks grilled in the @yodersmokers ys640s using @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets. Seasoned with @neilsarap original beef.

While the steaks were grilling I poached two eggs (light rolling boil, 3:30 seconds does it for me) with a touch of vinegar in the water.

The sauce over the top was roughly (eyeballed it) 1/4 cup @fage 5% Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon @pepperexchange aji Amarillo puree, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon tumeric.

This is a high protein low carb meal to get the metabolism off to the right start. A little spicy in the sauce with some turmeric really kicks things off the right way.

Served with a coffee and everything is kicking off right!

Swipe to see that perfect bite. taken in San Diego, California by @electricmice

Pan seared steak with a side of spinach

In my @hexclad pan I cooked this @butcher_box sirloin steak seasoned initially with salt only. I seared this on all sides using @chosenfoods avocado oil before lowering the heat and finishing with a butter baste and @neilsarap original beef.

As the steak was nearing temp (132f target temp) I tossed in a bit more butter and fresh spinach. The spinach was tossed in the butter, rub and anything else in the pan. To plate, I added a bit of cheese and some chipotle hot sauce to the spinach. The steak was sliced and finished with a smoked flakey salt.

Finally I put a scoop of artichoke spinach dip on the side for a little bit of a creamy texture.

Smoked turkey meatballs, French onion style.

These turkey meatballs are slow smoked with @bearmountainbbq maple wood pellets. They are the. Added to a French onion soup base of beef broth and slow sauteed onions which imparts lots of smokey goodness from the meatballs into the soup. Then topped with some cheese and served over roasted broccoli.

I add the broccoli as a nice filler to give me more food without more calories, a food tip for trying to feel full while reducing calories in your diet! Using turkey also helps as it is a much leaner meat!

I love a huge salad

Romaine, broccoli, shredded carrots, @cabotcreamery cheddar, hard boiled eggs, and @litehousefoods ranch dressing for the base.

For the protein I have two @bearmountainbbq smoked pork chops, finished on the grill grates in my yoder. As well as two slices of bacon. Cooking with Bear Mountain allows me to add all that smoke flavor with no additional oil!

Pork belly breakfast sandwich.

@bearmountainbbq gourmet blend pork belly burnt ends maybe one of my favorite smoked foods. These smoked low and slow to really get that melt in your mouth bite. While most were enjoyed as is right off the grill, I saved a few to be diced into smaller pieces and pan fried for a soft inside and crispy outside to go into a breakfast sandwich! Loaded with cheese and egg, this classic flavor combo was elevated to gourmet status with the pork belly burnt ends and this slices of @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. Served up on some fresh sourdough

Smoked chicken breast over pasta and asparagus.

Simple meals just hit the best.

@bearmountainbbq smoked chicken breast adds a ton of flavor to this otherwise straight forward pasta.

Sausage with jalapeno, onions and cheese!

Sauteed onion and jalapeno, then added the sausage. In the toaster oven I toasted a soft roll with loads of @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese.

One pan meal for the win, less dishes. All the flavor built up together.

Two types of breakfast tacos! One with chicken one with bacon. The first one is corn tortilla with @cabotcreamery habanero cheddar, scramble egg, bacon. Sour cream and hot sauce.

The second is corn tortilla, diced chicken, scrambled eggs, Cabot cheddar and salsa.

Similar styles, totally different vibes. Both hit the mark

Sourdough pizza

Zero flop, amazing crunch, great rise in the crust. I keep the toppings simple, @raoshomemade marinara, pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan. I also sprinkle a base layer of @spiceology pizza seasoning on the crust before any sauce or toppings are added. Cooked on a pizza steel in the oven at 450 degrees.

Chicken lettuce wraps for dinner. Ground turkey base. Keeping this post simple to mostly see how it does, the write up takes me the longest for each of these posts and if it doesn't matter much I can get back to posting more. taken in San Diego, California by @electricmice
