Quick & Easy

When making BBQ sauce at home, it’s gotta be quick and easy. BBQ sauce is usually something I buy store-bought. I have my favorites (Johnny Harris & Sweet Baby Rays) and usually only make it at home if I happened to run out. It’s not something I usually calculate into my prep which is why my focus was to make this quick & easy!

Flavor Profile

There are sooo many different bbq sauces. I love trying all the different ones! The first time I ordered a BBQ sandwich in NC I was like….. they forgot the BBQ sauce… Nope! And now that good ole vinegar base is my all time favorite. But for today, I went with a (mostly) tomato base. I originally put this sauce together for jackfruit, so I wasn’t sure if a vinegar-only base would work well. This is a pretty well-rounded flavor profile, I’d say. My husband says the vinegar stands out a bit too much for him, so if you aren’t a huge vinegar fan you can omit. You will get some vinegar flavor from the ketchup, I just love vinegar! It also has a decent kick to it from the cayenne. Of course, if you aren’t a spice fan you can dial back or eliminate the cayenne pepper!

Are you a sauce fan?

      BBQ sauces can be tricky with so many different directions to go. My 7 yr old and I were big fans, though. I hope you like it also!

    This BBQ sauce sounds very tasty. My husband loves smoke paprika so I will have to try making this.

      I love the addition of smoked paprika in meat substitutes. I’ve also seen people adding liquid smoke, but I haven’t added it to my pantry yet. The smoked paprika did the the trick in this recipe!

      Yay! It’s nice that it’s so easy just in case you didn’t know you ran out of BBQ sauce until dinner time. That’s kind of how I wound up throwing this together lol!

      I hadn’t even thought of using it on the grill!! I don’t think I’ll be eating meat then, BUT I can imagine this sauce would give an insanely delicious and tender result!!

Sometimes life is your toddler thinking your shirt Sometimes life is your toddler thinking your shirt is a napkin, a messy bun hiding a rat’s nest, old makeup left on your face, and a cute jacket thrown on just to make you feel slightly better about yourself after laying your toddler back down 5-10 times trying to make nap time happen... but only sometimes🤗 Still have been struggling with feeling I don’t have anything to write that anyone would get anything from, working on overcoming that lie.. Theyre easy to believe sometimes.. but only sometimes😉 #momlife #newseasons #changeiscoming #tryingtokeepittogether #messybun #walkingnapkin
Anyone else ever get stuck?... Stuck thinking you Anyone else ever get stuck?... Stuck thinking you have nothing to offer. Stuck feeling like you’ll never be successful. Just stuck in self-doubt... that’s been me the past 3 weeks. I’m learning that the awesome part of going through things like this is acquiring the tools to help others get out of similar slumps one day... hopefully that one day is soon. #realtalk #selfdoubt
You don’t have to get an apology to extend forgi You don’t have to get an apology to extend forgiveness. You don’t have to speak to someone from your past to extend forgiveness. You don’t have to become best friends to extend forgiveness. To refuse someone of forgiveness, you insist on carrying an unnecessary weight that causes division. The longer you hold it, the heavier it gets. Let it go and be kind.🤍

Oh ya! Link in bio for more on that😂
My face when I feel a cold coming on, but I have Z My face when I feel a cold coming on, but I have Zicam® Cold Remedy Elderberry Medicated Fruit Drops.😄 Not ta-day!!😎
Other cold medicines usually only cover up symptoms. @zicam® actually shortens colds when taken at the first sign of symptoms- that’s clinically proven.😉 I’m all about some elderberry syrup, but sometimes I catch myself racing out to go pick up my son from school. Thankfully, you can just pop one of these bad boys on your way out! (sssssswipe for proof lol!) If you know me, you know I have my medicine cabinet stocked with homeopathic remedies like this one! So happy Zicam® has a product with the natural power of elderberry and complete with the natural elderberry flavor you can’t go wrong. I mean it’s at all major retailers (even Amazon!), it’s safe and effective, shortens your cold, and you don’t have to measure out syrup.. just pop a drop!! & at a great price, there’s no reason not to give these a try! ANDDDDD you can get $2 more off of a Zicam® Cold Remedy product when you use the link in my bio!!! •
