Buffalo chicken wrapThis quick dinner was absolutely fantastic. I started with @realgoodfoods chicken nuggets, cooked per instructions and then tossed in @kindersflavors buttery buffalo sauce. The romaine lettuce was chopped and tossed with @litehousefoods home style ranch and parmesan. I cut one @cutdacarb wrap in half and layer some sliced pepperjack cheese on each wrap. The. It was just a matter of stacking the layers and rolling them up tight. Two wraps was just right for me, filling but felt fantastic after eating them! #buffalochicken #chickenwrap #lowcarbwrap #freshfoods #easymeals #mealideas #bestdinner

Bacon cheeseburger to get back on trackI was away on work travel the last week, and ate wildly off track from my normal day to day. This burger was a lovely transition back to normal.A @hero bun kept it low carb, though a helping of caramelized onions did up the carbs a bit, it was still within the plan for the day. A few strips of bacon, some pepper jack cheese, @grillospickles and lettuce rounded out the toppings with @terrapinridgefarms everything sauce being the only condiment I needed. The burger and bacon were both cooked using @bearmountainbbq hickory pellets, directly over the fire in my @yodersmokers at 375.#cheeseburger #hamburger #baconcheeseburger #caramelizedonions #lowcarb #backontrack #burgergoals

Steak and BroccoliMore specifically, reverse seared filet mignon over a chimichurri sauce and a side of sauteed broccoli with a truffle parmesan dusting. The steak was seasoned on all sides with @oaklanddust spicy steak seasoning and smoked at 200 to an internal temp of 110 using @bearmountainbbq hickory pellets. It was then seared in a hot pan with avocado oil before a final butter baste. The broccoli was briefly steamed before being sauteed in butter and dusted with @spiceology truffle Parmesan.The chimichurri sauce is @chosenfoods avocado oil and @spiceology chimichurri seasoning mixed together and let steep a bit while everything is cooking. #filetmignon #steaknight #steakdinner #steakhouse #chimichurri #bearmountainbbq #smokedsteak #smokehouse #feelingfancy

Spaghetti and garlic bread with a little dessertI'll start with the sauce. In a pan I cooked some bacon and yellow onion, cooking it till the bacon was crispy and the onion just past translucent, then I mixed in ground turkey and seasoned everything with @spiceology pizza seasoning. Once the turkey was browned, I added @raoshomemade marinara and let it all come together.The noodles are @miraclenoodle cooked per the instructions, but with a little butter and pizza seasoning. The bread is @paleotreats baller bread buttered, then topped with crushed garlic, mozzarella, some @spiceology truffle parmesan and parmesan cheese. For dessert I had the @paleotreats cacoanow! This whole meal was fantastic, full of protein, and absolutely delicious. #spaghetti #garlicbread #lowcarb #meatsauce #desserts #dinnerplan #mealideas

Buffalo & Sriracha Chicken WingsThese smoked chicken wings were just the right level of spicy. I smoked the wings using @bearmountainbbq hickory pellets, setting the smoker to 225 and cook the wings to an internal temp of 165 before upping the heat to crisp them up. 375 for about 10 minutes+the time to climb to temp did the job. The wings were seasoned with @whitebullsbbq bird gang, and when they came of the smoker tossed in equal parts @underwoodranches siracha and @primalkitchenfoods buffalo sauces. With about a tablespoon not butter as well. To serve they were drizzled with @litehousefoods home style each. #chickebwings #buffalochicken #buffalowings #siracha #hotwings #bearmountainbbq #smokedwings #smokedchicken #wingwednesday

Chicken & Waffles (chaffles)This recipe actually came together much quicker and easier than expected. It started with the chicken. I preheated the oven to 350 and then cooked two @cutdacarb wraps for 10 minutes(golden brown) then I pulled the wraps in a food processor till they were broken into small pieces. I used two wraps, and did one almost to a dust and the other a little chunkier for texture. I also blitzed some Parmesan and added it as well as a spoonful of nutritional yeast to the breading. Then I went with a fairly classic breading station, egg and half and half for the dip, then into my cut da carb breadcrumbs before going into an air fry basket. I sprayed the basket and the chicken with some avocado oil spray to prevent sticking and help with color. They are fried in the oven at 425 for 10 minutes.While the chicken was cooking I made the chaffles, 5 minutes in the @bydash mini waffle maker. The chaffle mix which makes two chaffles is 1 egg, 1 tablespoon almond flour, 1.5oz mozzarella, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, @spiceology butter toss (about 1/2 teaspoon, measure with your heart)To assemble I added a pad of butter to each chaffle, a spoonful of @goodgoodbrand grape jelly, the crispy chicken and finally topped it with a drizzle of @birchbenders syrup. The chicken was crispy and delicious, though I should have added salt and more seasonings to the breading. The chaffle was fluffy and delicious and the sweetness from the jelly and syrup was perfect. #chickenandwaffles #crispychicken #chaffle #friedchicken #airfryer #sweetandsavory #highprotein #recipeoftheday #dinnerideas #kidfriendlyfood

Healthy Sunday Breakfast 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, wilted spinach with feta, cottage cheese and of course some fresh @paleotreats baller bread. I visited Lee yesterday at Paleo Treats here in San Diego and picked up a fresh loaf of sesame baller bread, dipped in the bacon fat and toasted, this stuff is as incredible as always. For seasoning on the eggs and spinach, I went simple with @redmondrealsalt seasoning salt.Paired with a latte and I am set for the morning.#breakfastlover #sundaybrunch #sundayvibes #healthybreakfast #toast #baconandeggs #ketobreakfast #spinachfeta #paleotreats

Omelette for lunchI just finished eating this, and it was so good! Why you might ask was this one any different?!? I used my home cured bacon that I coated in @neilsarap Jamaican rub before smoking! Cubes of bacon and sausage were joined by fresh spinach and @cabotcreamery cheddar inside. A little @terrapinridgefarms everything aioli on top and three eggs simply salted with @redmondrealsalt seasoning salt for the egg. That is all, proceed with your day. #lunch #bacon #eggs #cheese #spinach #sausage #omelette #justfinished #eatinghealthy

Steak & Broccolini This NY Strip was reverse seared. Seasoned liberally with @redmondrealsalt and @spiceology black magic, then smoked with @bearmountainbbq hickory wood to an internal temp of 120. I brought the steak inside and seared it with @hexclad over medium high heat and avocado oil. A bit of butter to finish and a slice of butter over the top while it rested. The broccolini was sauteed in a bit of oil and lightly seasoned with some salt.#steakdinner #reversesear #bearmountainbbq #steakhouse #juicysteak #blackenedsteak #smokedsteak #hickorysmoked #yodersmoker #meatandveggies #cleaneating
