Sometimes you just need a burger and Fries. Gril Sometimes you just need a burger and Fries. 

Grilled burgers over @bearmountainbbq holiday blend pellets for a nice flame kissed burger. Loaded with @cabotcreamery habanero for a bit of heat and seasoned the burger with @spiceology poulet spices. Some @grillospickles and butter lettuce were all it needed. 

The potatoes were tossed in a mix of cowboy candy and garlic junkie.
Thanksgiving 2025 is a wrap! Turkey came out gre Thanksgiving 2025 is a wrap! 

Turkey came out great, pork belly burnt ends always hit the spot. The gravy was an absolute highlight and the rolls were a surprise win for a first time bake. The mashed potatoes are always a win, this year I did smoked garlic and cheddar mixed in and a parmesan crust on top. Lisa made the butternut squash dish, the roasted balsamic carrots and doctored up some cranberry sauce from Costco.

Tons of leftovers will make for some great sandwiches, tacos and omelette creations. 

I am thankful for those of you I have connected with through this platform. Especially thankful for those that encourage my journey OR I have inspired and you let me know, it keeps me going! 

Thankful for @bearmountainbbq and @cabotcreamery for the support all year and being an instrumental part of this meal! 

I also have to shout-out @scaleandtailor for putting together a food and fitness accountability group that has really kept me going this year. An incredible group of supportive friends who inspire me daily.

I love being able to do a quick grill on my @yoder I love being able to do a quick grill on my @yodersmokers with @bearmountainbbq pellets. An easy grill night with all the flavor of that woodfired goodness and the same ease as turning on the stove, with less dishes! 

I grilled the chicken first then threw on some skit steak for a quick sear on each side.

Cabot Cheese delivery day!! Who is coming over f Cabot Cheese delivery day!! 

Who is coming over for an aged @cabotcreamery cheese tasting party? When you get so many different ages of cheddar it's only fair to open them all and do some progressive taste testing and then do some blind testing for favorites!! 

Thank you so much Cabot for fueling my addiction!
Fulfilling that hotdog craving I used the @slotdo Fulfilling that hotdog craving

I used the @slotdogdotcom to optimize my grilled dog experience. Once the turkey dogs opened up a bit I have them a healthy dose of @neilsarap tasty bark. The @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend gave these dogs a perfect char and texture all around. In a toasted bun. I loaded up some @cabotcreamery sharp cheddar and @tbjgourmet uncured bacon jam.  Super simple, but absolutely what I was craving.

Beef jerky is always the best snack I love makin Beef jerky is always the best snack 

I love making smoked beef jerky. The @bearmountainbbq old fashioned pellet blend is perfect for jerky, with a lovely smoke flavor that really accents the beef. You really can't go wrong, playing with marinade flavors and then giving a nice low temp smoke to dry out the thin slices of eye of round. Smoke low and slow. Flip occasionally and pull it off the smoker when you can give the slice a bend and see the white lines as you bend vs it being flexible or over cooked and cracking.

This @questnutrition doughnut is calling your name This @questnutrition doughnut is calling your name. Protein and a chocolate doughnut, guilt free and so good! If you grew up getting the doughnuts in a box at the grocery store as a kid, this doughnut will hit all the marks for nostalgia!  A nice chocolate coating and a fluffy interior paired perfectly with an espresso. This was an ideal post workout protein and coffee kickstart to my work day.

Some days call for a double cheeseburger! A brio Some days call for a double cheeseburger! 

A brioche bun loaded with two turkey burgers smoked with @bearmountainbbq old fashioned blend for a nice smokey flavor. This pellet flavor brings a ton of goodness to turkey! May need to use it as part of my thanksgiving planning. 

The burgers are topped with some @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. 

I used @pepperexchange Cayenne creole mustard as my sauce and brought some balance with shredded mixed greens and @grillospickles pickle chips.

Meal prepping some Grilled Chicken Breast Having Meal prepping some Grilled Chicken Breast

Having chicken breast on hand and ready to go is such a great way to add protein to a meal. 

This is my go to approach as I love the ability to add that woodfired flavor via @bearmountainbbq pellets. Each wood gives its own subtle twist to the chicken. Changing up the rubs and seasonings gives me loads of variety. 

No added oils, all the flavor. Easy to do a large batch!

French onion soup meatballs. When you're craving French onion soup meatballs. 

When you're craving French onion soup but also need to get that protein in, this is the way.

With the onions reduced, adding beef broth, seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. The. The meatballs go in and finally topped with loads of mozzarella cheese. 

I served mine over roasted broccoli to get some greens in as well.

Smoked Pork Chop with a mustard cream sauce and a Smoked Pork Chop with a mustard cream sauce and a side of sauteed green beans and pork belly. 

This thick cut pork chop is seasoned with @spiceology thunderdust and smoked with @bearmountainbbq hickory wood at 225 for about an hour. The hickory smoke gives the pork a bold smokey flavor that stands up to the mustard sauce. After smoking the pork chop gets a quick sear to finish it off.

The mustard cream sauce was done in the same pan as the pork chop was seared in and combines 1/4 heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of @pepperexchange cayenne creole mustard and a splash of beef broth. Reduced down just a touch to thicken aas desired. 

The green beans were sauteed with some cubes of pork belly and seasoned with salt and pepper. 

This is gourmet meets comfort food at its finest. Overall this meal also works great on a budget as both pork chops and pork belly can often be found on a great sale!

The Mustard wings you need but didn't know it! I The Mustard wings you need but didn't know it! 

I brined these wings in pickle juice before giving them a deep smoke with @bearmountainbbq hickory wood pellets. They were seasoned lightly with a buttery garlic rub and then crisped up at the end for that perfect bite through texture. 

Once off the smoker the magic really happens. Give the wings a healthy pour of the @pepperexchange cayenne creole mustard. Imagine your favorite mustard kicked up just a notch for both heat and flavor, paired with the pickled brined wing and you have perfection!

A nice soup loaded with flavor and veggies. I added in some sauteed shrimp to make this budget friendly soup feel gourmet. With groceries all feeling so expensive, finding a way to make an otherwise very affordable dinner feel like a luxury is a major win. 

This red curry broth is loaded with sweet potato, red onion, carrot. Bell pepper, bok choy and rice noodles. The shrimp were sauteed with a bit of @neilsarap Asian rub and butter.

Macaroni and Cheese is a comfort food favorite T Macaroni and Cheese is a comfort food favorite 

This amazing Mac and cheese from @cabotcreamery was incredible. Organic ingredients, nothing else needed to make it. Amazing cheese flavor. 

I leveled it up with some Italian sausage that I smoked with @bearmountainbbq red white and blue blend pellets for maximum smoke flavor. Then I also added some roasted brussel sprouts to round everything out. 

Easy dinner, maximum flavor.

Cobb salad with a special ingredient What is the Cobb salad with a special ingredient 

What is the special ingredient? Swipe to that last photo. 

This salad is a romaine base tosses in @litehousefoods ranch dressing. Then I tipped the salad with bacon, eggs, shredded buffalo chicken, carrots and celery. The special ingredient is the cheese! This is a Gouda I smoked over a year or so ago, using @bearmountainbbq pellets in a smoke tube using only the fan from the @yodersmokers to circulate the air. It was then coated in @spiceology really ranch sealed up and aged in the fridge till now. 

Served up with a cheesy bread stick for good measure.

Sourdough toast topped with fresh mozzarella, habanero balsamic drizzle and a mix of diced tomatoes, garlic, parmesan, balsamic, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper.
