This is a recipe that I have been working on for a long time and I think I finally got the hang of it. Originally, I wanted to make a low sugar barbecue sauce, mostly because I was in the throws of a gestational diabetes diagnosis. I thought I could add sweetness with the addition of berries instead of sugar, which had previously not spiked my sugar. In this process, I found that it’s really hard to make a low sugar barbecue sauce actually taste good….
We have entered the season for fresh produce in the northeast and man am I happy about it. I’ve got garlic and onions curing in the garage, tomatoes leaping off the vines at me, beans, squash, and cucumbers rolling in. There are even some halfway decent carrots in the garden (I’ve never grown a good carrot until this year), I’m leaving them in and just pulling them as we eat them right now….
Simple food is the best food.
Not just because it’s easier to cook, but only using a handful of ingredients really lets them shine. I love this recipe because it does just that, mostly highlighting the pastured beef. We have been switching over to all local, pastured, no-hormone meats, and while it’s more expensive the improvement in taste is quite noticeable. Not to mention, it’s summer and there is so much produce in season right now. I love a meal that combines quality ingredients with easy preparation….
Something you should probably know about me is that I love potatoes. I eat them pretty much every single day. There are just so many ways you can prepare a potato! They are delicious and good for you. And, they are a great vehicle for sneaking in all kinds of other veggies, which this time of year is a huge priority….
This might be my new favorite grilling recipe. For good reason too, since it’s full of flavor, and it’s eeaaasy. Plus kabobs are probably the easiest way to pack a lot of veggies into the meal. YOU all know I love my veggies….
