NY Strip & AsparagusReverse seared Thick cut NY strip smoked with @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets. The steak was seasoned with @redmondrealsalt ancient grains sea salt and @neilsarap original beef rub. After a nice long smoke I seared the steak in the bacon fat rendered while cooking the bacon and asparagus. A touch of butter to finish the sear in the pan and it was set. #steakdinner #nystripsteaks #steakhouse #bearmountainbbq #asparagus #baconbits #perfectsteak #steak #fancydinner #dinnergoals #reversesear #mediumrare #steakgoals #healthydinner

Protein Omelette3 eggs. Scrambled with @redmondrealsalt ancient grains sea salt. The chicken is the prepared chicken from yesterday, baked and seasoned in @spiceology Greek freak. About 1.5oz of mozzarella cheese and I topped it with @underwoodranches siracha and @terrapinridgefarms banod bang sauce. (Can you tell I am obsessed with that combo yet?)Quick, easy, protein packed. I did 2 miles to the gym. 45 minutes of workout, 2 miles back, and another 1.75 miles jog at lunch. The protein was needed…#omelette #fitness #myfitnessjourney #healthymeals #scrambledeggs #chickenbreast

Smoked cheese is ready to rest5lbs of cheddar and 5 lbs of Gouda smoked using @bearmountainbbq oak pellets in my @ezsmokertubes with the @yodersmokers on but not running (fan only) for about 3 hours. Then it was set open in the fridge for two days to air out before getting brushed with olive oil and then coated in the various flavors. For the cheddar:@neilsarap dayum@spiceology really ranch@bravadospice jalapeno and garlicFor the Gouda:@spiceology really ranch@spiceology rosemary dijon@spiceology guac and rollThey all get wrapped in butcher paper then vacuum sealed and will tear at minimum a few weeks. Some may be aged longer giving them time really helps mellow the smoke and take on the flavor of the rub. #smokedcheese #cheese #flavoredcheese #bearmountainbbq #spiceology #cheeselover #charcuterie

Crispy Skin Salmon with Sauteed Green BeansThis @lummiislandwild Salmon makes dinner a breeze. Thank you to Lummi Island Wild for sending me this amazing salmon. The individual portion size made it easy for me to cook up a single serving for myself. I defrosted the salmon and then it air dried overnight in the fridge on a wire rack to get the exterior dry. When it's time to cook, I cut slices in the skin side about halfway through the salmon and salted generously with a smoked flakey salt on both sides and in the cut slits. In a preheated pan with a nice coating of olive oil I went skin side down and let the salmon tell me when it was ready to flip. As the salmon cooks the color changes, so watching the side I could see when it changed color 2/3rds of the way up, and was ready to flip. Once flipped I added some butter to the pan, then a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Baste with a spoon and just like that it's done!The green beans were equally straightforward. I simply diced bacon, cooked halfways then tossed in the green beans and salt lightly, tossing till the green beans start to wrinkle and the bacon is crispy. To plate I added a little fresh dill, and some extra lemon to the salmon, and some sesame seeds to the green beans.The salmon does all the work so seasoning was kept simple with just the salt! The Lummi Island salmon is so rich in flavor and good fats, it's simply incredible. Seeing the stamp of approval from Monterey Bay aquarium for sustainable fishing tells me they are doing everything right! #lummiislandwild#salmonfordinner#salmonrecipe#seafoodrecipe#seafoodlover#salmonlover#eatclean#pescatarian#eatsustainably#livingsustainbly#mealprep#healthyeating#crispysalmonskin#salmonskin #lemondillsalmon

Crispy Brussels and Bacon wrapped chickenThe chicken was easy, @realgoodfoods did all the work, I just had to heat it up! Loaded with cheese and simply cooked in the toaster oven. I did give it a sprinkle of @neilsarap tasty sear. The brussel sprouts were quartered, and tossed in a bit of olive oil and Tasty sear. I then topped it with a bit of diced bacon. These went on the same sheet pan as the chicken, cooking right alongside it. One pan meal! All I had to do was give it a stir every once in a while, and it was perfect. I cooked at 375 for the first 20 minutes then bumped up the temp to 400 for 30 more minutes for a nice crispy brussel and crispy bacon on the chicken. To serve, I gave the sprouts a drizzle of @underwoodranches siracha and @terrapinridgefarms Bang bang sauce.#brusselsprouts #brussels #chickenbreast #baconandbrusselsprouts #realgoodfoods #onepandinner #easydinner #siracha #dinnerideas #simplemeals

Grilled chicken enchiladasI posted these to my story yesterday and had a few folks ask how I made these. I started with boneless skinless chicken breasts and seasoned both sides with a mix of @tdsbrewbbq carne sutra and zesty taco rubs. While the seasoning was soaking in, I preheated the @yodersmokers to 375. Once the grill leveled out the temp I put the chicken on the grill grates over the @bearmountainbbq oak fueled fire (flames hitting the chicken for a little char). Flip the chicken to cook both sides and pull it off the grill when it hits 165. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then Dice up the chicken into small(ish) pieces.In a pan over medium high heat precook your tortillas and then coat the tortillas in enchilada sauce, I go with a full dunk. Roll the diced chicken(add a little of that enchilada sauce to the chicken as well) and your favorite cheese (mine is @cabotcreamery these days) into the tortilla. If you're feeling fancy, you can add some grilled onions and or olives as well. From there place the rolled tortilla on a lined cookie sheet sprayed with some avocado oil. Top with a drizzle of sauce, some shredded cheese, sauce, and more cheese. Then place into an oven or toaster oven on broil at 400(medium if your broiler has low/medium/high) till cheese is crispy. Top with some sour cream, guac (I use @eatwholly packs to reduce waste) and enjoy!#enchiladas #enchiladarecipe #chickenenchiladas #lowcarb #easydinner #bearmountainbbq #grilledchicken
