Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce

October 7, 2013 Posted in BBQ & Grilling, Sauces & Dressing

My husband loves Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce from TGIF. He’s gone there maybe 2 times but swears it is the best. I am going to attempt a few different recipes using Jack Daniel’s Whiskey. This first one is a little spicy due to the pepper and garlic. And not so sweet like some of the other sauces because there is no brown sugar. I also did a taste test against the bottled Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce...

Terry’s Ranch Dressing

July 5, 2013 Posted in Sauces & Dressing, Soups & Salads

My brother Terry and I love Warehouse Pizza in La Verne, California. They are known for their delicious pizza of course and you can’t get enough of their ranch dressing. Dip your pizza in it or enjoy the Antipasta salad with half ranch and half Italian dressing. Terry sent me this recipe and told me I had to make it because it tastes identical to the Warehouse Pizza ranch.
Ingredients:
3 scallions (chives), ch...

Espresso BBQ Sauce

July 22, 2012 Posted in BBQ & Grilling, Sauces & Dressing, Summer

I picked this recipe up from the meat department at Albertson’s. It was printed on a coupon. I didn’t make the Tri-Tip they suggested, but I made the Espresso BBQ Sauce to dip our NY Strips in. I then used the leftover sauce to use it on grilled chicken the next night. It was amazing both ways. It’s perfect for steaks, burgers, and chicken. My husband also likes dipping his french fries in it...
