Cajun Chicken Wing Wednesday! These @butcher_box wings were air dried in the fridge, then seasoned with @neilsarap Cajun Rub before being smoked at 200 using @bearmountainbbq pecan pellets. Once cooked through I bumped the temp to 350 to crisp up the skin. When they came off the smoker I tossed them in a Cajun butter, made using two tablespoons of unsalted butter and two teaspoons of Cajun rub. They were crispy, juicy and just a little spicy. The smoke was perfect, with a strong aroma but balanced flavor. #chicken #chickenwings #wingwednesday #bearmountainbbq #cajunfood #bbqchicken #smokedwings #wingcrushwednesday on August 16, 2023August 17, 2023
I will never get tired of bacon cheeseburgersThis burger hit the spot and I will make another one similar to this again later this week because it was so good! Pickles, onions, heirloom tomato, lots of cheese, of course bacon, a bit of chopped spring mix lettuce, mayo and mustard and of course a 1/3lb burger. I went with an @oroweatbread keto friendly bun this time. Grilled outside over @bearmountainbbq oak pellets, bacon cooking over the burger.#burger #grilling #bbq #bearmountainbbq #baconcheeseburger #hamburger #foodie #sandiegofood on August 15, 2023August 17, 2023
Rack of RibsI'll be honest, I'm not the biggest ribs fan. They are often a little…messy. these were tasty, tons of @bearmountainbbq pecan smoke permeated throughout and they were very tender. I would argue a little two sweet from the drizzle of keto friendly maple syrup I used at the wrap stage, but overall I enjoyed them. #backyardbbq #rackofribs #stlouisribs #bearmountainbbq #porkribs on August 14, 2023August 17, 2023
Steak tacosDo these really need much explanation? Low carb @missionfoodsus zero net carb tortillas loaded with @bearmountainbbq smoked steak with some jalapeno cheese and Pico de Gallo. #tacos #steaktacos #bearmountainbbq #lowcarb #tacotuesday on August 11, 2023August 11, 2023
Chicken Crust jalapeno, bacon, pepperoni and Spinach pizzaChicken crust is the absolute best high protein low carb pizza crust (move aside fathead dough). Dry out a can of chicken (Costco cans) in the smoker to add a great smoke flavor and get that chicken nice and dry. Then mix with the chicken 1.5oz Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of almond flour and enough egg to rehydrate the chicken and pull it all together. This crust used two eggs. Form the crust on a parchment lined sheet pressing it nice and thin using a fork. The bake/smoke at 350 for another 15-20 minutes, flip and top with your favorite toppings. I went with @raoshomemade marinara, mozzarella, bacon, jalapeno, spinach and pepperoni. Finished with a little more Parmesan and baked till everything was golden and bubbly. I smoked and cooked this using @bearmountainbbq oak wood for a nice smoke flavor. #chickencrustpizza #lowcarbpizza #fatheaddough #bearmountainbbq #pizzanight on August 10, 2023August 11, 2023
Classic bacon cheeseburgers, elevatedLet's start with the burgers, grass fed Costco beef burgers hit with @chosenfoods avocado oil spray and @neilsarap original beef. I cooked them over @bearmountainbbq pecan wood pellets on the back side of @grillgrates . The bacon was on the top shelf dripping over the burgers as they cooked. As the burgers neared completion I topped them with a slice of jalapeno havarti cheese. The bacon is my home cured @pepperexchange chipotle bacon with just the right amount of spice and smoke. To build the burger I went with a keto friendly bun, a layer of @chosenfoods avocado oil mayo, shredded lettuce, the burger, a slice of tomato, @grillospickles slices, the bacon, some mustard and topped with that toasted bun. This is a summer classic for a reason, so good I knew I needed two, and yes I ate both. #hamburger #cheeseburger #baconcheeseburger #cheeseburgerinparadise #bearmountainbbq #lowcarb #summergrilling #ketofood on August 8, 2023August 10, 2023
Breakfast BagelThis is a @carbonautbaking plain Bagel, n toasted with some butter.Then loaded with a layer of cream cheese, one scrambled egg that I folded around a slice of cheese, topped with bacon, and served with a side of extra bacon. Yes, I did cook the egg in the bacon fat. This bacon happens to be my @pepperexchangeChipotle bacon, which is absolute perfection.#breakfastsandwich #baconandeggs #sideofbacon #weekendbrunch #weekendvibes #chipotlebacon on August 7, 2023August 7, 2023
Ever just crave a steak? I sure do. This steak is rubbed down with @neilsarap southwest beef and a bit of @chosenfoods avocado oil. Grilled at 400 degrees using @bearmountainbbq oak wood pellets to a nice rare/mid rare internal. Some went into Tacos, but let's be real, I ate every other slice as I was cutting into it. #steak #grilling #bearmountainbbq #raresteak #bbq #beef on August 3, 2023August 3, 2023
Thank you to @oakridgewinery for this amazing wine! When guests are coming over, a food and wine pairing is a must. I was confident this red blend would pair perfectly with some grilled chicken and then it was just a decision on how to serve up the chicken. What I decided was a lemon cream pasta, and a side salad. For my plate, I went to a no carb pasta, for the guests a more traditional pasta. The citrus and herbs in the pasta sauce, along with the smokey grilled chicken paired wonderfully with this red wine. The salad kept it fresh on this lovely summer evening and everyone enjoyed the pairing! I loved that this was a California, estate grown and women owned winery. We're spoiled in California with some of the best wines and this was right up there! As always, any wine should only be consumed by those of legal drinking age and done so responsibly. #oakridgewinery #WinePairing #redwine #pasta #grilledchicken #foodandwine #redblend #lodicalifornia on August 2, 2023August 2, 2023
Grilled shrimp and sausage over mixed greensI seasoned some large shrimp with @neilsarap lemon pepper and gave them a quick grill. I also cooked up a few of the @butcher_box Italian chicken sausages. I used @bearmountainbbq wood for the grilling to give a nice light smoke flavor. With the shrimp and sausage prepared, I tossed some mixed greens with ranch dressing and a sprinkle of feta cheese. This salad came together quickly and the shrimp and sausage was fantastic. #salad #bearmountainbbq #shrimp #chickensausage #lunchideas #lunchinspo on May 18, 2023May 19, 2023
