Tuna Salad | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

In an effort to move in a better direction. . .it’s time for some healthier(ish) recipes and first up is Tuna Salad.

Now, tuna is not my jam, although I do like jam, but that’s not the point, the point is I don’t like tuna. I guess I could eat it if it was necessary, but it’s definitely not on my top 100 foods. I used to eat it, so I don’t know if it’s one of those things you ate a lot of when you were younger and now it doesn’t tickle your tastebuds or if your little sister once drank a glass of tuna juice and it turned you forever. . .but memories do not matter because others in my house are happy to love tuna and who am I to deny the ones I love. Right?

So here is a healthy dish that everyone (but me) will say is super delicious.

    Homemade BBQ Sauce | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

    Here is my recipe for homemade BBQ sauce, it’s been a pretty guarded secret until now, so you should feel privileged. Just kidding, my mom actually taught me how to throw this together and I promise, once you do it, you will not buy jarred stuff again. And I’m a couponer, I won’t even buy jarred sauce when I can get it for like $.13, that should be some sort of a testament of how delicious the homemade stuff is.

    I actually had to write this recipe as I went, because usually I just taste as I go and adjust the ingredients as needed, but I wanted to give you guys somewhere to start, so I made the sacrifice.

    I know I’m gonna sound like “one of those people” when I say this, but: this happens to be one of those cases where you can control the quality of ingredients that you put into your mouth. AND, the flavor of homemade sauce versus jarred sauce is no contest. Just in case you didn’t sense the tone and wouldn’t know who the winner would be: Homemade sauce every time.

    Remember BXTCHES, read all of the recipe and notes before you begin.

    BBQ Sauce

    Homemade BBQ Sauce | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

    Throw out the bottle. . .homemade is where it's at.

    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 35 minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 stick unsalted butter
    • 64 ounces ketchup
    • 1 whole lime, juiced
    • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
    • Pepper to taste

    Instructions

    HAVE ALL INGREDIENTS READY TO GO

    Heat a large saucepan over medium to medium high heat.

    1. Add butter to pan and melt completely.
    2. Once butter is melted, add the entire bottle of ketchup and mix thoroughly until the butter is incorporated into the ketchup.
    3. Add all the liquid ingredients: lime juice, apple cider vinegar (see notes), liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
    4. Add the remaining ingredients: garlic salt, onion powder, brown sugar and pepper. Mix completely.
    5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
    6. Turn heat down to low and let simmer for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Notes

    This recipe takes about 35 minutes, start to finish. The key is to have all of your ingredients ready to go so you can just drop them into the saucepan.

    Use the quantities listed as a guide. I highly recommend that you taste after the addition of every two (or so) ingredients and adjust as needed.

    Keep a lid handy for your saucepan. This is going to splatter, so to keep your irritation at bay, cover as you ad the ingredients.

    If you don't like your sauce to be on the sweet side, then reduce or eliminate the brown sugar. Also, feel free to substitue the brown sugar for honey or molasses. Just start small and taste, then adjust if needed.

    I don't use salt because the garlic salt adds enough. However, you can definitely use fresh or minced garlic, just add after the butter is melted and before you ad the ketchup. Then salt to your taste.

    If you don't have fresh limes on hand, bottled is fine. 2 tablespoons should be plenty, but add more if necessary.

    Liquid smoke is imperative, so don't leave out.

    QUICK TIP: The ketchup bottle is is a great place to store the sauce once it's cooled. Just label it and stick it in the fridge.

    QUICK TIP: Add the apple cider vinegar to your empty ketchup bottle and shake well, then pour into saucepan.

    This will yield about 6 1/2 cups. The nutritional label is a guide, not gospel, so use it as such. Serving size is based on 1/4 cup servings.

    This is not only great for a traditional BBQ, but can be used for:

    BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

    BBQ Chicken Pizza

    BBQ Spaghetti (chicken, beef, or pork)

    Sauce for the kiddos nuggets

    Mix with ranch and you have a great dressing for salad

    If you're looking for a spicy version, roast your favorite hot pepper and using and blend into the sauce. You could also you canned chipotle peppers.
