The vegan cheesesteak

Even the cheese is plant based for this low fat, low cal, low sodium, low carb, zero cholesterol take on a classic sando.
All the flavor and texture with none of the bad

served up on whole grain wheat toasted bagel style and smeared with horseradish and pickle mustard and topped with fresh sliced jalapenos.
Sides are a scallion pancake and a kimchi pancake w/ buffalo dipping sauce

i've learned that if i put enough hot sauce on it, i'll eat just about anything!!! haha

i miss the long potatoes though... gotta keep up my diet, its actually working. i don't know how because i'm still eating a lot of food!! i was 228 on my last doctor visit and today i'm 192 so i can't argue with results, so still no bread, no rice, no fries, potatoes, no pizza... at least i still get beans!!!!! hahaha

I'm 'bout to get my beans on!

Couple weeks ago I picked up this bulk pack of black beans and sticky rice.
Gonna make zesty black bean burgers from scratch and with the rice try my hand at making sushi.
Also wanna get into some vegan enchilada recipes.

Yeah hot sauce is good all the time any time but with that meal it was kinda in the way. I used tallow on that beyond steak and the veggie pancakes. That tallow impacts so much flavor it's almost a crime to use any dipping sauces.

Congrats on the weight loss Dude!!!
I found a hack on pizza using whole wheat thin crusts. Making them veggie keeps them in my diet guidelines.
One thing I was missing was sour cream so instead of using it I use plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Tastes like sour cream to me but without most of the bad stuff

Another home run I found but not sure if it's ok for your diet. Maybe the best cereal I've found doing this heart healthy thing. They're like eating a big bowl of vitamins....

I see you with that Texas flavor in the PNW!!!!

The one on the right is really good too and they both can go on anything. I've even seen the blanco used to rim glass for beer and margaritas. Truly all purpose!
If you like corn on the cob and can find the Elote seasoning, might be the best corn you've ever tried.

Do you still have your gravity fed lump burner?
When I was shopping my pellet I found a gravity masterbuilt on clearance sale for like 90% off. It was a crazy sale but the next day I went back and somebody bought it.

Blanco is only available in-store in a few places, I watch his cooking channel. So that's the only way I know of it..
Paired with that Espresso....Full flavor right there, throw in some smoke...
It's all good.

I sent that gravity fed masterbuil to the scrape yard heavily used!!!!
Moved up to a heavier all purpose grill gas/charcoal offset. It's an Oklahoma Joe's pretty much covers everything i need to cook..long cooks can be mor involved because of fire management is all.
Ill be in the market for a smaller deck grill.
Can't ever see a time where i can only cook one style. There a couple I'll be lookin at in the gravity series style.
They all can make good food, just depends on what you want...im for all it!!

The price I saw on that gravity fed made me wonder if they lasted or if there was an issue or something. I've never seen a BBQ that was once like $600 be selling for less than $100 on sale. Just crazy. It was at Home Depot.
Yesterday I saw a 98" TV for less than $1000 so who knows. Maybe it costs a ton to keep big ass inventory out so after a while they just want it gone for any price. That 98" was so big I'm not even sure it would fit in a pick up bed.

Today I own 4 outdoor cooking rigs. A Santa Maria for over fire and rotisserie, a cowboy style fire pit with a spit, a pellet grill that can do it all plus I have a steel flat top to turn it into a griddle, and a big ass pizza oven.
I use the pellet more than anything. It's a RecTeq Bullseye and I have nothing but good things to say about RecTeq.
Wish I woulda waited on the pizza oven. Mine is huge and weighs like 500lb. A year after I bought all the Ooni and other small pizza oven came out at like only a 1/3rd of what I paid for my behemoth. It is baddass though. Every dish comes out rustic and delicious with that wood fired oven flavor.
