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!

Thai red curry soup A nice soup loaded with flavo Thai red curry soup

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.

Keeping it healthy with a turkey burger Giving t Keeping it healthy with a turkey burger 

Giving this turkey burger that @bearmountainbbq love with their red. White and blue blend. This bold blend gave my bacon a kiss of extra smoke before I opened up the yoder for direct grilling. 

@cabotcreamery cheddar was a must and you know I am loading up @grillospickles

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.

Bruschetta and smoked chicken breast Sourdough t Bruschetta and smoked chicken breast 

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

Served up with chicken breast that was smoked with @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend. I started the grill at 350 to hear the grill grates then dropped the temp to 225 for a nice smoke to pair with the bruschetta. The result is a beautiful smokey chicken breast.

Millennial Toast What is more millennial than a h Millennial Toast

What is more millennial than a hybrid avocado toast, eggs benedict and chili crisp? 

This starts with fresh homemade sourdough bread, topped with some melted seriously sharp @cabotcreamery cheese, guacamole, a @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend grilled chicken breast, and finally two poached eggs with a drizzle of garlic chili crisp. 

Served up with a nice latte and I was channeling all those Sunday morning vibes.

Food on a stick is more fun. Chicken breast skew Food on a stick is more fun. 

Chicken breast skewers and a nice mix of red onion, red bell pepper and pineapple. 

A little @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend smoke to get things started and then a direct grill to get that char working. I chose the gourmet blend because I wanted to get a nice balanced smoke in a short time period before going direct over the fire at a higher temp. This gave me a nice smoke and also worked really well for the direct grill. 

Towards the end I gave the chicken a nice coating of @terrapinridgefarms sweet heat.

Do tacos heal your soul too? These shrimp tacos Do tacos heal your soul too? 

These shrimp tacos were exactly what I needed. I used @spiceology black magic rub to bring the bold flavor and cooked with @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend, directly over the flame for a really clean burning wood fired flavor. Shrimp takes on a ton of flavor and quickly, so using a really nice wood pellet brings amazing flavor with ease. 

The grilled shrimp were piled into a base of @cabotcreamery cheddar, someday mixed greens and topped with guac and queso fresco. 

The guac was a simple mix of avocado, sour lines, @spiceology and roll and a splash of chipotle salsa. 

That chipotle brings out the wood fired flavor from the shrimp even more.

The meal you didn't know you needed to make today, The meal you didn't know you needed to make today, until now. Chilaquiles! 

These chilaquiles were absolutely amazing, and so easy to make. Start by cooking some ground turkey with your favorite taco style seasoning. Then pan fry up two eggs. In a separate and larger pan bring to boil about a half cup of chicken broth and stir in @mamaditasauces smoked jalapeno and charred pineapple sauce. Toss tortilla chips about a handful at a time in the sauce and stir to coat. 

Assembly is quick and easy. Layer the chips, ground turkey and fried eggs in a large bowl. Top with a drizzle of the mama ditas sauce and sprinkle with queso fresco. 

That's all there is to it!

Smoked zucchini lasagna This is an amazing meal Smoked zucchini lasagna 

This is an amazing meal to prepare in advance and have as an easy lunch or dinner throughout the week. 

Replacing the noodles with zucchini keeps the carb level down. I use ground turkey as my high protein low fat meat and add spinach for some extra greens. The cream cheese, sour cream and ricotta and mozzarella make up the cheese component within the lasagna. I also layer in some marinara and top with loads of mozzarella and parmesan. Everything was seasoned with @spiceology pizza seasoning for this batch.

Cooking this in the smoker gives it a really lovely smokey flavor that only gets better the next day. For this batch I went with the @bearmountainbbq gourmet blend and found the smoke to be just right.

Chicken and corn tacos. I used the @bearmountain Chicken and corn tacos. 

I used the @bearmountainbbq cherry smoked chicken breast leftover from yesterday to make some tacos! The chicken was cubed and warmed in a pan while the tortillas were heated and coated with @cabotcreamery cheese. I had some leftover grilled corn as well. So that went in with a touch of lettuce, sour cream and salsa. 

Easy dinner done right.
