I've previously blogged about my Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce which accompanied my pulled pork this past Labor Day. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of that cook so I couldn't write about it. That changed this weekend. I prepared a pork butt for the first time in my new Primo XL and made sure I took photos this time. The Dr. Pepper pulled pork came...

I've never been a fan of beef jerky but one day my son's girlfriend brought some over, here dad had a bunch and shared a little with us. I tried it and was like, woah, this is actually really good. Because jerky is so damn expensive and having recently bought a propane smoker I realized that it would be really cool to come up with a way to make this...

Previously I wrote about my homemade BBQ sauce in which I also hinted at a Dr. Pepper version of my sauce. I figured I'd follow up with a little post that highlighted the process I followed to make this variation. It's pretty easy to make and this version tastes quite good.

Start with my Original BBQ Sauce recipe. Here it is for ease of use:

So tonight I wanted to really break in my new Primo XL (I'll blog about the adventure of getting this another time). Last weekend I'd picked up a pair of porterhouse steaks but ended up going with some boneless ribeyes instead so figured that these were perfect for this weekend.

I've wanted try a coffee rub for quite awhile now. Additionally, ever...

Last November, after we upgraded our kitchen cookware (to an All-Clad set) a revival in the art of cooking took place in the Heon household. This further continued in March when I finally bought a smoker (Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24"). My current passion lately has been using the smoker to make all sorts of delicous things. During one of my first cooks...

Let me just start this out by saying this – I don't like eggs.

With that out of the way, lets get to the nitty gritty. Since starting this life change, roughly 8 months ago I have cleaned up my breakfast options. My go to breakfast used to be a sausage biscuit (sometimes two) from McDonald's. Today my go to breakfast is scrambled eggs with cheese...

So as of late, on nights after I've hit the gym, my current favorite bedtime snack has been a chocolate protein shake that also has some peanut butter (more protein and tasty too) and a handful of blueberries. Without further ado, here is the recipe:

• 12 ounces of Almond milk
• 1 scoop of your preferred chocolate protein powder (for me this is...

So as part of this life change I've been playing around with different, healthier snacks that are high in protein. I know plain greek yogurt is already high in protein and good for you, but plain yogurt is just disgusting by itself. It occurred to me that I could maybe make chocolate pudding using plain greek yogurt as the base ingredient. With that...

Back in early September I decided I was going to try Bulletproof coffee after reading about it's benefits. I'll be honest, the thought of using butter in my coffee seemed pretty crazy but when I tried it I was blown away – it tasted fantastic and I was energized all morning long.

At first I started with 1 tablespoon of refined coconut oil with 1...
