Low Carb Recipes

My family has been eating low carb for a little over 6 months (at the time of writing this post) and I can honestly say — professional on-again off- again dieter that I am–it is the easiest “diet” that I have ever tried. (Psst… check out our low carb recipes here.)
However, that does NOT mean that we don’t miss some of our old favorites, so I sometimes try to rework some of our favorite recipes to reduce the amount of carbs. Sometimes there are really great ingredient substitutes, sometimes there are really expensive substitutes that we use sparingly and then sometimes there really aren’t any substitutes that we like.
That is the case for BBQ sauces. Prior to low carb, we were BIG sweet BBQ sauce fans and I cooked with it a lot. However, I just couldn’t quite find a low carb BBQ sauce that I enjoyed as much. So, I set out to make an easy one that I could easily whip up and use in our recipes. Everyone in my family LOVES this sauce.
