Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Love

BBQ Season!

My favorite summer meal of childhood is still the same today: barbecued chicken legs, mashed potatoes and steamed Michigan asparagus.  It must be genetic because my kids love it too.  We’re all a sticky mess afterwards, but it is fun!

I have a pretty strict “no store-bought condiment’ rule in the fridge.  Ketchup, Dijon mustard and mayo are the exceptions but no bottled salad dressings, no dips, no sauces, no marinades.  I think the habit is 1/3 Midwest frugal, 1/3 space-issue in the fridge and 1/3 ‘I can do better than Kraft’.  Once you’ve made your own barbecue sauce, you’ll never go back to the bottle.

Have a great 4th of July!

Homemade BBQ Sauce
  1. 1/4 cup ketchup
  2. 1 T. brown sugar
  3. 2 T. cider vinegar
  4. 2 T. Dijon mustard
  5. 2 T. canola oil
  6. 2 T. honey
  7. 2 t. dry mustard
  8. 1 t. paprika
  9. 1 t. garlic powder
  10. 1 t. onion powder
  11. 1/2 t. salt
  12. 1/8 t. cayenne
  1. Mix everything up in a small bowl and use it as you please. If you’re planning to brush this on your chicken, reserve a bit out for serving at the table.

    I've been looking for a BBQ sauce without HFCS and can't find it. Might have to give this a try. Is it spicy? Tangy? Sweet?

    Middle of the road, and it probably depends how fresh your cayenne is. My kids automatically reject anything tomato-based like ketchup, spaghetti sauce or salsa and they're good with this. It's probably not strong enough to use for ribs, but works great for chicken.
