The second is corn tortilla, diced chicken, scrambled eggs, Cabot cheddar and salsa. 

Similar styles, totally different vibes. Both hit the mark

Sourdough pizza Zero flop, amazing crunch, great Sourdough pizza

Zero flop, amazing crunch, great rise in the crust. I keep the toppings simple, @raoshomemade marinara,  pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan. I also sprinkle a base layer of @spiceology pizza seasoning on the crust before any sauce or toppings are added. Cooked on a pizza steel in the oven at 450 degrees.

Salsa verde chilaquilis with fried eggs. Quick, ea Salsa verde chilaquilis with fried eggs. Quick, easy, delicious. Tortilla chips tossed in a simmering salsa verde sauce. I used @herdezbrand and a little butter. Topped with @cabotcreamery cheddar, which I understand is not traditional but I love Cabot, it's for me, so deal with it. Garnished with some sour cream and finally two fried eggs dusted with @spanglishasadero_official  elote seasoning.
Smoked Turkey Meatballs, French Onion Style. The Smoked Turkey Meatballs, French Onion Style. 

The turkey meatballs are first smoked with @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend pellets at 225 till cooked through. This gives them an amazing texture outside and full of smoke flavor that really flavors the broth. After they are cooked I transfer them to my French onion soup. The soup starts with sauteing onions, then adding in garlic, herbs, Worcestershire and beef broth. I let that reduce a bit before adding the meatballs and then topping with tons of mozzarella. Since everything is cooked through, it's just about giving the cheese time to melt. This time I sauteed some asparagus on the side and added them when I dished up.

I always liked myself better when I was with you, I always liked myself better when I was with you, and on May 31st, the world got a little dimmer when my most loyal companion, office mate, and sweetest soul, Jet, passed away suddenly.

We had to say goodbye after an unexpected medical emergency, but I am endlessly grateful that her final days were filled with pure, vibrant joy.

Looking back at her favorite things—watching out the window on car rides, eating treats, splashing in the water, and keeping watch on the cabin deck—I’m comforted knowing that’s exactly how she spent her last days. We didn’t know it was our final weekend together, and neither did she. It was just a perfect weekend well spent, right up until the very end.

Jet was the most soulful, gentle, and loving dog I could have ever asked for, and she brought so much light to everyone who knew her. Her sister Ember is doing okay, though I don't think it has quite set in for her yet that her partner-in-crime is gone.

Thank you to everyone who loved Jet over the years and brought a wag to her tail. Our adventures won't be the same without her. Rest easy, my sweet girl. 💔
Steak and zucchini. A simple meat and veggies din Steak and zucchini.

A simple meat and veggies dinner is great for my fitness journey. I went with @bearmountainbbq bourbon maple pecan blend for the smoke and @spiceology chimichurri on the steak, with a mix of poulet and purple haze on the zucchini. 

The steak was smoked and then seared inside, the zucchini was baked at 350 in the oven.

Greek yogurt, magic spoon cereal, blackberries and strawberries. That and a cup of coffee should fuel me for the morning.

French Onion turkey meatballs Smoked meatballs w French Onion turkey meatballs 

Smoked meatballs with @bearmountainbbq maple bourbon pecan. While those were cooking, inside I was sauteing down some onions before adding garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and beef broth. The meatballs then went into the broth and that reduced a bit before adding pecorino and mozzarella cheese. I also roasted off some broccoli seasoned in @spiceology umami and poulet rub. 

To dish up, I add the broccoli and meatballs to a bowl and pour over a little extra of the broth and sauteed onions. 

This meal has been on repeat for me. Delicious, low fat, protein packed.

Tonkatsu ramen with a smokey twist I seasoned a Tonkatsu ramen with a smokey twist 

I seasoned a pork chop with @spiceology umami and cowboy candy rubs before a low and slow smoke with @bearmountainbbq alder wood for a sweet, subtle and mellow smoke. The smoke comes out even more with the pork chop is immersed in the both so I didn't want to over do it. 

I used Costco premade tonkastu broth which made this meal really easy! 

Some ramen noodles, a few 6-minute boiled eggs and chili crisp round it out! 

This protein packed easy lunch came together and was way more food and filling than I ever needed but I enjoyed every last drop!

Sourdough pizza and a Caesar salad I ore made th Sourdough pizza and a Caesar salad 

I ore made the pizza crust and then froze it for an easy meal. Take it outta the freezer the night before and then on the counter to come up to room temp a few hours before cooking. Cooked on a steel in the oven at 500f for 10 minutes. This pizza has @raoshomemade marinara as the base, julienned spinach, pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese with @spiceology pizza seasoning to finish. 

Salad is romaine, Parmesan, @litehousefoods Caesar and some croutons made from my last hamburger bun. I tossed the diced bun in butter, garlic junky and truffle Parmesan from Spiceology. 

Both the salad and pizza were delicious!
