Thai style chicken lettuce wrapsI grilled some chicken breast using @neilsarap gourmet lemon pepper rub (I love this rub) and used @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets.i did this in advance so I could chill the chicken down for a cold wrap, but warm would totally work too. Then I used the @feastingathome peanut sauce recipe with some modifications to lower the carbs. I went with @swervesweetiefor the brown sugar, for the peanut butter I went 50/50 peanut butter and @justins almond butter, finally I went with fresh lemon juice instead of orange juice and cut that down to the juice of one lemon. This sauce was amazing, so I highly recommend giving feasting at home a look. I also added @eatwholly guacamole, broccoli slaw, sliced cucumber and spring mix inside. Everything was wrapped up in a @cutdacarb wrap.Served with some extra sauce and cucumber for dipping. #wrap #thaichicken #peanutsauce #lowcarb #lunchideas #lunchinspo #bearmountainbbq #chicken #mealideas

Wing Wednesday! Lemon pepper pickle wings!Yes you read that right! I brined these wings in @grillospickles pickle juice and @neilsarap gourmet lemon pepper seasoning. Then gave them a light dusting of more lemon pepper rub.They smoked at 180 degrees till cooked through at 165 and then bumped the temp up to 375 to get them nice and crispy with a finish temp of 200 internal. Smoked using @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend and man oh man was it amazing. The low and slow smoke in conjunction with the brine was perfect. #chickenwings #wingwednesday #wingcrushwednesday #bearmountainbbq #pickle #lemonpepper

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.

Santo Blanco Tequila Soda with fresh lime and Hibiscus SaltWhen I am looking for a low carb and flavor forward drink option, I go with a tequila soda. Using @santospirit tequila Blanco gives a nice agave-forward flavor profile and balances perfectly with a fresh squeeze of lime. I tend to skip the sugar found in a margarita but love that salted rim, and this time I used a hibiscus salt for a little flair. Santo tequila is a certified additive-free tequila and crafted at an 86 year old family-owned distillery by a third generation master distiller using time-honored production methods. The bottle is an absolute show stopper and definitely brings the friends over for that summer bbq. Thank you to Santo Tequila for sharing this bottle with me and helping me enjoy a responsible cocktail. Do note this post is intended for followers of the legal drinking age (21+) only.#Santo Spirit #summerofsanto #santosunrise #santotequila #santospirits #tequila #tequilasoda

Kitchen Remodel ResultsThe Kitchen remodel is complete! This was a full renovation down to studs and rebuilt from floor to ceiling.The final design is a perfect balance of aesthetic and function. Every dish, appliance, utensil and cookware has a planned home. The space was built to be used, yet when not in use, everything can be hidden or put away for that clean and elegant look. The journey was a long one, but we love the end results. I am happy to answer any questions about the materials, who we worked with, the process, etc. Feel free to ask in comments or DM me! All credit to my wife @lizar280 for her eye for design, knowing what she wanted for the vision and coordinating and collaborating with the remodel company to plan the vision!#kitchendesign #kitchen #kitchenremodel #sandiegoremodel #sandiegokitchens #contemporarykitchen #twotonekitchen #chefskitchen #sandiegoliving #dreamkitchen #cleankitchen #homedesign #kitcheninspiration #kitchenstyle #kitchenrenovation

French Toast with fresh raspberries and a blackberry jam, served with a side of black pepper baconI used @carbonautbaking white bread for a low carb bread option, soaked in a mixture of eggs, half and half, @spiceology cinnamon and @molinavanilla Mexican vanilla. I brushed a layer of @skinnygirlbrand blackberry mule jan on the plate and on each slice. Then a light dusting of @swervesweetie confectioners sugar and some fresh raspberries topped it off. The pepper bacon is my home cured bacon coated in black pepper. This delicious breakfast was a great way to start the day waiting for the heavy rain from tropical storm Hillary. #frenchtoast #blackberry #raspberries #bacon #lowcarb #breakfast #sundaymornings #sandiego

Chicken and wafflesCan you believe this chicken and waffle dish is low carb? Me neither, but it is! It starts with @realgoodfoods chicken strips. I baked them at 400 degrees about 30 min total, 15 min a side and then tossed them in @primalkitchenfoods buffalo sauce and put them back in the oven (off) just to stay warm while I cooked the waffles. The waffles are @birchbenders cooked in my @bydash no mess waffle maker. To plate I stacked the chicken high atop some buttered waffles and gave everything a drizzle of the Birch Benders keto syrup. These were perfectly balanced sweet and spicy, with an amazing fluffy waffle. This was a really easy meal, quick cleanup and absolutely delicious. #chickenandwaffles #lowcarbmeals #mealinspo #mealideas #easydinner #birchbenders #realgoodfoods #friedchicken #waffles #ketofood
