Bruschetta When you have fresh, homemade sourdough bread and it is tomato season, you have to make some bruschetta. The sourdough was brushed with olive oil and broiled on each side to get a nice char. fresh tomatoes were diced and mixed cloves of diced garlic that I had previously roasted (see below for more detail), parmesan cheese, olive oil, aged balsamic, fresh basil, salt and pepper. That was all mixed together and set aside. The bread was topped with fresh mozzarella, then the tomato mixture and drizzled with a touch more of the balsamic. Finally, I plated it up with some prosciutto and garnished with more fresh basil. To make the roasted garlic, cut the tops off of the garlic and drizzle olive oil into the cut garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and foil wrap around the garlic leaving the top exposed. Then smoke for 1 -2 hours using @bearmountainbbq pecan wood before increasing the temp to 350 and cook till a toothpick can easily slide in and out of the garlic cloves. Let cool slowly on the counter. These can be wrapped in Saran wrap and frozen in a freezer bag, so I do big batches at a time and keep it always on hand. #bruschetta #tasteofitaly #summerfoods #bearmountainbbq

Chicken kebabs A taste of the tropics at home. The chicken was cubed and tossed in @spiceology Maui wowie, some avocado oil and pineapple juice. It was skewered and then grilled directly over a @bearmountainbbq bold blend flame. I have been loving the grill approach for quick dinners recently and the bear mountain pellets are crushing it for me. Low ash, means less cleanup between cooks and a nice clean flavor. On a separate skewer is pineapple, bell pepper and red onion. Served over a bed of white rice and drizzled with a bit on @trybachans original. #kebab #grillechicken #bearmountainbbq #topicalvibe #weeknightmeals

Turkey, Bacon, avocado and Cheese When you make fresh sourdough, you are almost obligated to make at least one sandwich. I was craving a club. And this was pretty darn close without extra layers of bread. Fresh sourdough, avocado, black pepper, turkey, tomato, salt, lettuce and @cabotcreamery seriously sharp cheddar cheese slices. I also enjoyed, and I really mean enjoyed. These were epic, some @legendaryfoods jalapeno cheese chips. The flavor was perfect and texture of pop chips held strong as in all of their previous chips.

Buffalo Chicken Salad Chicken breast cooked in a crock. Pot with @franksredhot and a bit of @litehousefoods ranch and some butter till the chicken falls apart. Then remove the lid of the crock pot and reduce down any sauce stirring occasionally to get all that flavor into the chicken. Toss Romain in @litehousefoods ranch dressing then top with shredded carrots, diced celery, and some sliced avocado. Load up the buffalo chicken and give it a sprinkle of blue cheese to finish things off. This salad gives you all the chicken wing vibes while being a healthier option. Filling, delicious, and will be on repeat here. #salad #bluecheese #chickenwings #buffalosauce #buffalochicken #ranchdressing

Make a BBQ Salad with me I started by grilling some chicken breast seasoned with a maple BBQ rub over an open flame using @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend. When the chicken was read I tossed some romaine in @litehousefoods ranch & @stubbsbbqsauce then I starting adding ingredients. Some pickled Jalapeno, @cabotcreamery cheddar, @spanglishasadero_official elote grilled corn, Avocado , Bell pepper, and Green onion. But let’s be honest here. That pretty presentation wasn’t going to work for consumption, so I put it all back into the bowl I tossed the romaine in and gave it a good stir before eating it.

Body Dysmorphia is real. Sharing this because sometimes it helps to know it hits others. I have been on a fitness journey for years now. Pushing myself to hit step goals, trying to get a workout in 3-5 days a week with most weeks being 5, trying to eat right. I look at this video and I want to see big arms, strength, a solid core, and enjoyment. What I actually see. A muffin top, arms that feel small, a struggle to finish 10 out of 30 reps (and a farmers tan, but that’s a distraction). So when I post this. Or hell, even get the courage to wear a tank top. Know that whenever you all comment to encourage me, it means the world. Everyone who helps me get past how I see myself is so appreciated. It is hard to feel like I am not meeting my own expectations, and so I keep going. I know that I am at least committed to myself to show up, to put in the work, and hope that I can mentally grow into my physical strength and be more proud of my progress. Now. Back to your regular programming of food updates and my fitness focus, just wanted to share the vulnerability for one post here. If you read this at all, yet alone to here. Thank you, and know how much I appreciate you. #bodydysmorphia
