Seth and I have a mutual love for BBQ. From the delicious taste to the amazing sides to the fact that we went there on our first "outing" as we will call it since we weren't officially dating yet (don't we all love that lovely awkward period of relationships?), it is our favorite cuisine. My lovely husband, otherwise known as the "Grill Master", decided to kick it up a notch tonight and create his very own BBQ sauce. He grated, poured, sprinkled, measured, heated, and stirred what I tasted to be THE BEST BBQ sauce ever. I promise I am not being biased. I love the man, but I will tell him how it is. Well, I told him that his creation was what I wanted my chicken, pork, and beef marinated in before every future BBQ we have. I may or may not have licked the bowl clean (and I thought I only did that with dessert batter!). Luckily the recipe made enough for our meal plus 3 mason jars. We made a delicious BBQ chicken dinner with squash sauteed in the BBQ sauce and a side of cheesy beer bread from the bread machine. Sounds like a deliciously balanced meal to me! I can't wait until our next BBQ meal! He has allowed me to share his top secret recipe though. Give it a shot, and let us know what you think!
