Grilled Pork Chops with Green BeansThe pork chops were seasoned with @neilsarap Gourmet Lemon pepper and then grilled using @bearmountainbbq oak wood. The green beans were sauteed in olive oil and the thin sliced garlic is tossed in and also fried till golden brown. When the Green beans come out of the pan they are sprinkled with @redmondrealsalt ancient grains sea salt and topped with feta. In the same pan as the green beans I then fried an egg using that garlic infused oil. The pork chops were cooked to 140 and rested to a finish temp of 145 before being topped with the egg and enjoyed for lunch. This whole meal came together very quickly and just goes to show how well you can eat, even in a time crunch. #porkchops #greenbeans #bearmountainbbq #grilledpork #quicklunch #lunchideas #lowcarblunch #eggdrip #friedegg

Breakfast Burritos have a special place in my heart.These @latortillafactory 0net carb tortillas were loaded up with scrambled eggs, @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. Home cured bacon, @caciquefoods pork chorizo and @eatwholly avocado. I seasoned the eggs with @redmondrealsalt seasoning salt and a dash of heavy cream. The avocado was seasoned with @spiceology guac and roll. A latte on the side and my morning is off to a great start! #breakfastburrito #chorizo #chorizoburritos #baconeggandcheese #guacamole #avocado #sundaybrunch #sundaybreakfast

Lazy chicken ParmesanLazy because I didn't bother to make pasta. This chicken breast was pounded out to make it more even across, then dipped in an egg and heavy cream mix before getting coated in @porkpanko seasoned with @spiceology pizza seasoning. Cooked at 375, when the top got crispy I flipped it and added Parmesan, let that melt, added @raoshomemade marinara and then a few thick slices of mozzarella. Flipped the oven to broil and crisped up that cheese! #chickenparmesan #mozzarella #chickendinner #lazydinner #easymeals

Classic Bacon CheeseburgerThe burger was grilled over direct @bearmountainbbq oak flame, with the bacon dripping from above. I seasoned the burger with @tdsbrewbbq Carne Sutra rub. When the burger was almost done I topped it with @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. To assemble I loaded the @hero burger bun with shredded romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, the cheeseburger, @grillospickles and my home cured pepper bacon. The only condiment I needed was @frenchs mustard and I was all set.If you want to learn to make your own bacon, send me a DM and I'll reply with the instructions! #cheeseburger #baconcheeseburger #grilling #bearmountainbbq #baconmaking

Wing WednesdayJamaican Wings with Ancho Masala ranchThese @butcher_box wings were tossed in a bit of @chosenfoods avocado oil and then coated in @neilsarap Jamaican Rub. They sat in this mix for about an hour before going on the top rack of the @yodersmokers at 225 for about 2 hours. When they hit 165 internal I bumped the temp to 375 and let them cook till crispy outside.To serve, I dropped a little @bravadospice ancho masala ultra hot sauce into some @litehousefoods ranch and dipped the wings in the sauce for the perfect hot and cool dipper with every bite.@bearmountainbbq oak pellets fueled the smoke and then powered that crispy high heat push. You can find these pellets at Lowe's and Walmart in various blends at each now, so go grab a bag! #wingwednesday #chickenwing #smokedchicken #crispychicken #bearmountainbbq #hotwing

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
