Smoked Chuck RoastThis is a @butcher_box chuck roast, seasoned with @neilsarap Jamaican rub and smoked low and slow all day! I cooked it similar to a brisket, low and slow when it got the rich color and internal temp stalled I wrapped it in butcher paper and bumped the temp from 225 to 275 to finish. Then it rested, wrapped for an hour before slicing. You can clearly see those @bearmountainbbq apple wood pellets put in some work! Look at the color and that ring! I paired this with some blue cheese and let's just say I was very happy! #chuckroast #smokedbeef #beef #bearmountainbbq #delicious #yummyfood #bluecheese #smokering

Food and Wine are just made for each other. First thank you to @lloydcellars for sending this exceptional Pinot Noir. The aromatics on the nose are some of the best I have ever experienced! It paired wonderfully with the fresh cracked pepper from the @hexclad peppermill pepper and highlighted the dishes' flavors overall. When the wine and food are in harmony and both at the top of their game you are in for a treat. Not only was I excited to enjoy this fantastic pairing, but I am also excited to get to meet the Lloyd and HexClad teams at the @calwinefestThe Pinot Noir was paired with a @Spiceology rosemary dijon rubber pork chop and grilled over an open flame. As a side, I sauteed some fresh green beans in my HexClad pan, cooking the green beans with some black pepper bacon, and topping them with crispy shallots and Boursin cheese. The subtle smoke from the pork, the earthiness from the green beans, the fresh black pepper, and the creamy cheese balanced with the crispy shallots were just a perfectly balanced meal. Each bite is followed by a sip of this incredible wine. Wine should be enjoyed by those of legal drinking age only. #DrinkLloyd #Hexclad #CalWineFest #ChardonnayPowered #SpiceUpYourKitchen #PinotNoir #FoodandWine #PorkChop #WinePairing #gourmetmeals

Ribeye with green beans and baconA quick lunch, yes lunch, as a test cook for a photo and video shoot I am excited for over the next week or two. This is a great meal that came together in about 15 minutes (once the grill was preheated). That was a win in itself, but the goal was to understand lighting and I was able to confirm a few layouts that worked and didn't work for me. I'll be excited to do the real cook, may change the protein, may add a sauce for some color, and definitely going to shift to an evening shoot for more controlled light. I want to get the moody feel and haven't don't that style in a while. It's over due. Test cook was a @butcher_box ribeye seasoned with @neilsarap Original beef and fresh cracked pepper using my @hexclad Pepper Grinder. Cooked over direct flame with @bearmountainbbq apple wood pellets. The green beans were cooked in the bacon grease, which is a home cured pepper bacon. Again some fresh pepper. Both the steak and green beans were finished with @spiceologyPink peppercorn and thyme rub. #steak #greenbeans #meatandveggies #keto #lowcarb #healthylunch #grilled #ribeye

Firecracker turkey meatballs and broccoli. I have posted this recipe before, and it just hits the spot! Turkey meatballs in a sweet and spice sauce, low carb, high protein, and you can control the fats with how much butter you use with the broccoli. The sauce is @primalkitchenfoods Buffalo sauce, @swervesweetie Brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and some chili flake. I added a bit of @neilsarapAsian rub at the end to the sauce and seasoned the broccoli in the same rub, sauteed with butter. #meatballs #turkeymeatballs #groundturkey #roastedbroccoli #healthydinner #dinnerideas

Steak and Eggs BenedictThe addiction is real, so I made another one last night for dinner. We'll start at the bottom and work our way up. @carbonautbaking keto friendly bread, buttered and toasted. Fresh spinach sauteed in some leftover hollandaise (great way to stretch a bit of hollandaise and make it have an impact) Smoked flank steak leftovers, warmed up in butter. Originally smoked with @bearmountainbbqApple wood pellets. Warming it up brought out an amazing smoke aroma and absolutely flavored the butter, which I used for the toast and then sauteed the spinach in the same pan. Poached egg. White queso from Costco, and finally a bit of habanero hot sauce. What a treat! This one was over the top delicious! #eggsbenedict #brunch #breakfast #ketofood #poachedeggs #lowcarb #eggs #hollandaise
