Kitchen Remodel ResultsThe Kitchen remodel is complete! This was a full renovation down to studs and rebuilt from floor to ceiling.The final design is a perfect balance of aesthetic and function. Every dish, appliance, utensil and cookware has a planned home. The space was built to be used, yet when not in use, everything can be hidden or put away for that clean and elegant look. The journey was a long one, but we love the end results. I am happy to answer any questions about the materials, who we worked with, the process, etc. Feel free to ask in comments or DM me! All credit to my wife @lizar280 for her eye for design, knowing what she wanted for the vision and coordinating and collaborating with the remodel company to plan the vision!#kitchendesign #kitchen #kitchenremodel #sandiegoremodel #sandiegokitchens #contemporarykitchen #twotonekitchen #chefskitchen #sandiegoliving #dreamkitchen #cleankitchen #homedesign #kitcheninspiration #kitchenstyle #kitchenrenovation

French Toast with fresh raspberries and a blackberry jam, served with a side of black pepper baconI used @carbonautbaking white bread for a low carb bread option, soaked in a mixture of eggs, half and half, @spiceology cinnamon and @molinavanilla Mexican vanilla. I brushed a layer of @skinnygirlbrand blackberry mule jan on the plate and on each slice. Then a light dusting of @swervesweetie confectioners sugar and some fresh raspberries topped it off. The pepper bacon is my home cured bacon coated in black pepper. This delicious breakfast was a great way to start the day waiting for the heavy rain from tropical storm Hillary. #frenchtoast #blackberry #raspberries #bacon #lowcarb #breakfast #sundaymornings #sandiego

Chicken and wafflesCan you believe this chicken and waffle dish is low carb? Me neither, but it is! It starts with @realgoodfoods chicken strips. I baked them at 400 degrees about 30 min total, 15 min a side and then tossed them in @primalkitchenfoods buffalo sauce and put them back in the oven (off) just to stay warm while I cooked the waffles. The waffles are @birchbenders cooked in my @bydash no mess waffle maker. To plate I stacked the chicken high atop some buttered waffles and gave everything a drizzle of the Birch Benders keto syrup. These were perfectly balanced sweet and spicy, with an amazing fluffy waffle. This was a really easy meal, quick cleanup and absolutely delicious. #chickenandwaffles #lowcarbmeals #mealinspo #mealideas #easydinner #birchbenders #realgoodfoods #friedchicken #waffles #ketofood

Breakfast CheeseburgerIf It has an egg or must be breakfast right? I was craving a burger again and needed something a bit different. This egg topped 1/3 lb burger hit the spot. This burger is loaded with cheese, topped with an egg and sits on a bed of crispy prosciutto, a slice of tomato and some pickles for freshness.Seasoning: @neilsarap southwest beef rubSmoke: @bearmountainbbq pecan (burger and prosciutto smoked)Bun: @oroweatbread keto hamburger bunPickles: @grillospickles Egg: @sproutsMayo: @chosenfoods#hamburger #cheeseburger #eggyolk #breakfast #foodstagram #bearmountainbbq #delicious #foodgasm

Cajun Chicken Wing Wednesday! These @butcher_box wings were air dried in the fridge, then seasoned with @neilsarap Cajun Rub before being smoked at 200 using @bearmountainbbq pecan pellets. Once cooked through I bumped the temp to 350 to crisp up the skin. When they came off the smoker I tossed them in a Cajun butter, made using two tablespoons of unsalted butter and two teaspoons of Cajun rub. They were crispy, juicy and just a little spicy. The smoke was perfect, with a strong aroma but balanced flavor. #chicken #chickenwings #wingwednesday #bearmountainbbq #cajunfood #bbqchicken #smokedwings #wingcrushwednesday

I will never get tired of bacon cheeseburgersThis burger hit the spot and I will make another one similar to this again later this week because it was so good! Pickles, onions, heirloom tomato, lots of cheese, of course bacon, a bit of chopped spring mix lettuce, mayo and mustard and of course a 1/3lb burger. I went with an @oroweatbread keto friendly bun this time. Grilled outside over @bearmountainbbq oak pellets, bacon cooking over the burger.#burger #grilling #bbq #bearmountainbbq #baconcheeseburger #hamburger #foodie #sandiegofood
