A new family "must-have"

If you remember quite a few posts back, I mentioned that I have enjoyed cooking again and have been trying new recipes. At first, most of those recipes were dinner-oriented, though lately a lot of the new recipes I have tried have been more dessert-based...haha.

Anyway, so while living with my parents this summer before the move, my mom got me hooked on my Granddad's homemade BBQ sauce recipe. It is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, and it really goes well with anything! I have made it twice since we have moved in and Jesse quickly became obsessed. Literally. I would find him in the kitchen with a spoon, just eating the sauce. Weird, I know.

I have not cooked as much these past few weeks, just being busy with work and traveling back and forth to Houston a lot, and Jesse has been asking about the BBQ sauce, pretty much every other day. No matter what I have made for dinner, he says, "no BBQ sauce to go with it?"

So today I made a double-batch. We had BBQ pork chops and baked potatoes for dinner, and then I "bottled" the rest of the sauce to keep on hand.

Something tells me that once the baby arrives and Jesse is responsible for making more dinners, we will be eating a lot of BBQ....

As long as it is with my Granddad's sauce though, I don't think either of us will mind one bit!
