I'm ready!

My daily eats are filled with it.

Heck, I even dip my sweet potato fries in the stuff (mixed with a little mayo, of course ;)

The thing about BBQ sauce? It’s full of sugar.

Before grabbing a copy of the Seasonal Comfort Food Cookbook, I really didn’t think that barbecue sauce could be made without sugar.

Goodness me, was I wrong.

I changed up the recipe from the cookbook just a touch and am so excited to share it with you.

I hope you lick the spoon and drizzle it on gawrsh darn everything.

Notes

Pasta sauce: sugar-free pasta sauce exists... you just have to read the labels very carefully. It doesn't have to be the fancy kind either. I was able to find a Superstore brand pasta sauce that was free of gluten and sugar. Woo!
