BBQ, before its too late!

Ok so I'm sorry it has been a few days, but now that I'm back to school it is much more difficult to keep up with this blog.  Don't you worry though, I'm still cooking so the posts will most likely be caught up on the weekends if you haven't seen a post for a while.  

So this meal we had last Saturday night, I believe, with our friends Kate and Dave.  Kate accompanied my chicken and corn salad with roasted potatoes and fresh veggies and we had a super delicious meal.  So this is another BBQ sauce recipe, which is very similar to the last and I really can't tell you which I like better, but both are absolutely awesome!  I'm telling you I will never again buy BBQ sauce, unless there is some kind of BBQ emergency, its just SO easy.  The corn salad was also VERY easy, but I would say it was just OK, nothing special, but if you like corn salad I bet you'd like this recipe.

ENJOY!
