BBQ Dinner

Joel has been wanting BBQ, so we bought some sauce and have made two great meals. The first meal, we had for Easter.

We got Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, which is sweet and it tasted pretty good. I wasn't crazy about it though, since a main ingredient was high fructose corn syrup and it just tasted syrupy. We also bought Stubbs Spicy BBQ Sauce, which i really liked because this sauce tastes more unique and was more tomato based or something, not so syrupy. Joel liked them both. Along with the BBQ chicken made with white onions, we had mashed potatoes with garlic and cheese, mixed vegetables with cheese and some Texas toast.

The second meal, we just had last night, it was wonderful as well! Last tiem, i cooked the chicken by cutting it up and i made two different batches, once with Sweet Baby Rays and the other with Stubbs. This time, i made the chicken with a BBQ seasoing mixture i put together that includes the following spices: Cumin, Paprika, Cayanne Pepper, Chili Powder, Garlic, Salt and Sugar. Then we put BBQ sauce on top of that while we ate, and I didn't cook the white onions this time, so they were fresh and crisp. We also had a little bit of corn on the side as well as pinto beans and potato wedges. It all tasted great and everything went well with Stubbs BBQ sauce! This time we bought the original, which isn't the spicy version, although it is still a little spicy. And of course, Texas Toast to go on the side. We have now decided to have a BBQ meal once a week.
