Mmmm look at those burgers… the recipe for these babies will be coming in a couple of days. Ooo they’re delicious!
I’m behind on so many chores it’s unbelievable.
Vacuuming? Nah, it can wait, I’m making cookies!
Cleaning the toilet? Nope, can’t do it now, I’m whipping up some muffins!
Making the bed? I’ll do it in a sec, just have to have some baked french toast!
Story of my life.
So, last night I put a load of laundry in the washer to try and catch up.
In the morning, before going to the kitchen, I went to the laundry room to move the clothes over to the dryer. Easy enough.
What was the first thing to come jumping out of the washer when I opened the door? My iPod earphones! I’ve been looking everywhere for them!
ugh. There goes another pair.
At least it wasn’t my iPod!
May I remind you that I woke up yesterday to a wrecked sock?
Can’t a girl get a break?
Mmmm barbecue sauce. That’ll do the trick.

two of my favorite things! Thanks for the recipe!

Mmmm…I love apple butter! I have never thought to use it as a barbecue sauce..I love it!
This is such a unique flavor combo, I love it!
Okay, wow! That sauce sounds amazing!! I can’t wait to try it!!
I don’t eat barbecue sauce that often (never bought a bottle) but it does taste delcious! I don’t have any molasses though. Is that what gives BBQ sauce it’s distinct flavor? I’m thinking I’ll end up with tomato-flavored apple sauce if I try this without it…
I’ve tried a couple of homemade BBQ sauces without molasses and didn’t like them as much. You can try to use agave, and then add in more deep spices, like smoked paprika, Saigon cinnamon, and those sorts of things.
Leanne, I’ve recently found out I’m allergic to tomatoes (a big bummer, since my allergy list was already long enough). Any suggestions for a substitution or alteration to make a tomato-free BBQ sauce? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes! I love coming to the site and finding new things to try and making old favourites.
Hey! Have you checked out this recipe? http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-barbecue-sauce-without-tomatoes/ I love that you love coming here! I hope you don’t get discouraged with the curve ball your new allergy threw into the mix, you can totally rock it!
