National Grilled Cheese Day! Today is national grilled cheese day and here is how I make my grilled cheese. Start with fresh homemade sourdough. This loaf has @cabotcreamery Vermont cheddar and fresh green onions baked into the bread. Preheat a griddle to medium low heat and butter both sides of the bread. Make sure that when you assemble the cheese is on the correct side! Load your favorite cheeses on to each half. I went with three slices each of Cabot Vermont cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Cover with a lid, dome or bowl to help the cheese melt. Once nice and melty; and your bread is starting to brown, add any toppings you like. I went with bacon! Normally I would add some grilled onions too but the bread had onion baked in already. Cook a little longer to warm the bacon and then remove and assemble! Serve with a bowl of soup for dipping and make it a meal! #cabotcheese #nationalgrillingmonth #nationalgrilledcheeseday #grilledcheesesandwich #grilledcheese #soupandsandwich #cookingvideo #recipeoftheday

BLT, burrito and bread. Ok that’s a stretch but eh, all three started with B. Breakfast was this @redsfoods carne asada and poblano burrito, toaster oven cooked. Lunch was some sourdough and chicken breast deli meat. Afternoon snack was jerky sticks. Dinner was a BLT. Making your own bread and bacon makes for a next level BLT. Workout done. And @artemis.moto.photo had the brilliant idea of an extra half mile with a sandbag up a hill… So there was that too.

Burger, loaded salad and protein Dinner is this classic bacon cheeseburger. I grilled the burger over a @bearmountainbbq bold blend flame, with the bacon cooking on the rack above the burger. Dripping goodness on the beef patty below. A sesame seed bun sandwiches some iceberg lettuce, 1/3lb beef patty, Gouda cheese, @grillospickles pickles, home cured bacon a slice of tomato and some mustard. Lunch was a @yourtaylorfarms chopped salad topped with pecan smoked spicy tri tip and a bit of extra ranch. Snacks for the day were jerky sticks and a @questnutrition overload bar. Great workout to get those lungs going again after being sick. Not at 100% yet but making progress. Weight is also back to normal post vacation. #cheeseburger #salad #QuestOverloadBars #QuestSquad #QuestPartner #bearmountainbbq #gainmuscle

A giant bowl of spaghetti and a steak sandwich should heal me Steak sandwich for lunch. Fresh sourdough, Cabot Vermont cheddar, spicy @bearmountainbbq pecan smoked tri-tip and a bit of ranch to cook things down. Paired with @questnutrition chips. Snack was a built bar puff. Dinner a giant bowl of spaghetti with a ground turkey meat sauce. Served with a garlic Parmesan toast. Made with a smoked garlic butter and Parmesan cheese. It’s awesome to use that bear mountain smoke to give the garlic extra flavor and using a fruit wood brings out all the sweetness of the garlic, I do this in big batches and then freeze them! #protein #health #recovery #bearmountainbbq #steaksandwich #spagetti

Steak salad and buffalo chicken zucchini boats @yourtaylorfarms elote salad with @bearmountainbbq pecan smoked tri tip Brushed with @pepperexchange Aji Amarillo and an extra drizzle of @litehousefoods ranch. The tritip is amazingly smokey but brutally spicy. That Aji Amarillo glazed exterior packs more of a punch than I thought! Dinner was crock pot chicken cooked with @franksredhot and @spiceology back and blue seasoning with a bit of butter. Finished with some cream cheese. It was loaded into zucchini and topped with cheese before being baked at 400 for about 20 minutes. Afternoon snack was some leftover meatballs and dessert was a @questnutrition bar! I got my steps and workout in yesterday but got sick, I knew I was fighting something yesterday am, but the cold won today… So no Friday workout and trying to drink a ton of liquid and recover. #bearmountainbbq #salad #steaksalad #fitfoodie

Turkey meatballs and broccoli, leftover soup and extra protein Dinner was meatballs and broccoli. The meatballs were ground turkey based and baked, then dipped in a buffalo and brown sugar based glaze, and baked some more to set the glaze. Served with broccoli and garnished with green onion and sesame seeds. Lunch was leftover soup. Post workout was my @questnutrition bar and post lunch snack was a @builtbar puff. Solid sleep score, steps on point, good workout and overall getting back on track with weight approaching pre vacation levels already.
