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.

Kicking off labor day weekend with a cheeseburger. Saddened by the news about Jimmy Buffett, definitely going to need to honor him with burgers and tequila this weekend. This simple cheeseburger has pickles, tomato, cheese, mustard and a bit of jalapeno artichoke dip.Burger grilled over @bearmountainbbq Bourbon blend and seasoned with @meatmitch steer seasoning. #cheeseburgerinparadise #cheeseburger #bearmountainbbq #labordayweekend on September 2, 2023September 2, 2023

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 on August 29, 2023August 29, 2023
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 on August 20, 2023August 21, 2023
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 on August 18, 2023August 18, 2023
Breakfast CheeseburgerIf It has an egg or must be breakfast right? I was craving a burger again and needed something a bit different. This egg topped 1/3 lb burger hit the spot. This burger is loaded with cheese, topped with an egg and sits on a bed of crispy prosciutto, a slice of tomato and some pickles for freshness.Seasoning: @neilsarap southwest beef rubSmoke: @bearmountainbbq pecan (burger and prosciutto smoked)Bun: @oroweatbread keto hamburger bunPickles: @grillospickles Egg: @sproutsMayo: @chosenfoods#hamburger #cheeseburger #eggyolk #breakfast #foodstagram #bearmountainbbq #delicious #foodgasm on August 17, 2023August 17, 2023
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
