We have not stopped eating this stuff since last Friday. For real. Tastes like the real thing, I swear. All that without the talking dog.
Again, I have to blame this on my mid-winter barbecue kick. I mean, really, what is up with that?? Then again, it’s been the initiation of a few truly spectacular recipes already, so I guess I can’t complain. All while cutting out sugar, to boot. I know, right?!
This recipe calls for my amazeballs BBQ Sauce…recipe can be found here!
