BBQ Sauce

Preface:
I like to make condiments like salad dressing and BBQ sauce from scratch cuz it's cheap and easy. We really liked this BBQ Sauce recipe so I thought we'd share it with those we love. I don't want to speak for your pantry, but I think most of the ingredients are pretty common so you can whip it up quick and easy for a Sunday dinner. Ready in about 25 mins.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup ketchup
2 T brown sugar
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T cider vinegar
1 dash tabasco sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp mustard powder (which I didn't have so I used brown mustard)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp dried onion flakes

Mix all ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let simmer on low for about 15 minutes (stirring every five minutes or so).

Winger's Wing Sauce

For those of you who have lived in Utah you have probably heard ofWinger's. We love their hot wings and last night we made some of our own. The sauce is pretty close to what they have at Winger's. It was delish! If you like hot wings you should try it!

1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
1 1/2 cups brown sugar

Mix the two ingredients together in a saucepan until sugar disolves. That's it! We serve our wings with ranch to help with the spicyness.

Fresh Pesto

I've made this one a ton and it is delish! Perfect to have in the refrigerator and put a bit on pasta or even on salad. I don't usually put in the tomatoes since some people don't like them, but it sounds good. It will last for a month or more in the fridge but you can freeze it in cube shapes and have some throughout the year. I have a lot of fresh basil and parsley so it is the best!
6 cloves Garlic
4 cups fresh Basil or 1 cup dried Basil
1 cup fresh Parsley
6 Tbs. raw Nuts (pine almond, hazelnut pumpkin)
1 cup or more of Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. each of Real Salt and Pepper
2 Tbs. sun dried Tomatoes

Combine all ingredients in a food processor (with an S-blade) or in a blender. Blend until smooth.
