Coffee Cream Stuffed French ToastThis was my post race comfort food. It was also my excuse to have 3 'cups' of coffee. I started by making the cream filling. 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, 1/2 tsp @molinavanilla about a tsp of @swervesweetie brown sugar and about 2/3rds of a packet of @drinkvitacup genius blend instant coffee. Mix all together in a Ziploc bag till the color is a consistent coffee color. Then in a glass 8×8 dish I mixed 2 eggs, vanilla, @spiceology cinnamon and a splash of half and half. Dip the @hero white bread into the egg mix, flipping to coat and then cook on a butter griddle over medium heat. To assemble I layered the French toast and coffee cream before topping with a bit of cream and shaved @hukitchen chocolate gems and the rest of the vitacup coffee.I enjoyed a cup of coffee while making this and one more while eating it. Caffeine levels and happiness were both on point!#coffee #frenchtoast #stuffedfrenchtoast #coffeelover #lowcarb #racerecovery #brunchideas #breakfastathome

Grilled chicken and asparagusThis chicken was fantastic, I put the chicken breast in a Ziploc bag with some olive oil. Lemon juice, lemon zest and @neilsarap gourmet lemon pepper. It sat in the marinade for about an hour before going on the grill, 350 over the direct flame in my @yodersmokers ya640s set to 350 degrees. I went with @bearmountainbbq oak pellets on this one. The oak burns super clean, nice and hot and still imparts some flavor even with the higher heat. Flipping and rotating till a finish temp of 165.The asparagus was washed and trimmed and the. Put into a preheated pan with some olive oil, medium heat till the color darkens and I added some @spiceology Greek freak seasoning, tossing to coat. With the asparagus ready and chicken rested a few minutes it was time to slice and plate. To plate I added a drizzle of @terrapinridgefarms carnitas grill sauce, which highlights the citrus from the chicken nicely. I gave both the chicken and the veggies a drizzle. #chickendinner #bearmountainbbq #winnerwinnerchickendinner #grilledchicken #bbqchicken #meatandveggies

BBQ breakfast OmeletteWhen I think of a Classic BBQ item, it's a pulled pork sandwich. What happens when you want a pulled pork sandwich for breakfast? You turn it into an omelette! This three egg omelette is loaded with pulled pork, topped with coleslaw (a pulled pork pairing perfection) and served with a side of bacon! I avoid the traditional BBQ sauce as most contain a ton of sugar, and who needs sweet when you can go spicy! Hot sauce did the trick instead. #pulledpork #pulledporksandwich #breakfastideas #baconlovers

Low carb chicken enchiladasPrep the chicken in advance and these come together very quickly! The chicken breast was cooked in a crock pot with enchilada sauce and then shredded and put back in the sauce. This was done the day before. One onion was sauteed till golden brown in a bit of butter and a pinch of salt. I added about half the onion to the chicken mixture as well as one can of sliced olives. This was loaded into a zero net carb tortilla that was dipped into some enchilada sauce and then also loaded with a handful of coastal cheddar cheese. The tortillas were then rolled and placed on a parchment lined tray and baked at 350 for 30 minutes. To serve I topped them with some @eatwholly avocado and Sour cream. A pinch of taco seasoning over the top for good measure and these were all set. #enchiladas #mexicanfood #chickenenchiladas #lowcarbmeals #dinnerideas
