BBQ Glory: Curried Honey & Lime Drumsticks With Minted Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Curried Lime & Honey Drumsticks

///

We do a lot of barbecuing in the summer. Almost every dinner in fact. It keeps the heat outside (and the mess!) Grilling can be quick, fast and almost effortless, as you do it more and more. Practice makes perfect, or so they say. Having a love for cooking is key, of course. In my quest to create simple (enough) weeknight meals, this flavour combo was a risk and in the end? I won. Totally delicious, or so the herd tell me. Even the toddlers approved, which is always a key component I consider when concocting a new recipe. Or altering a classic. There are lots of honey and lime drumstick recipes floating around the internets – but none laced with lots of curry. Amongst other delectable things. And the dipping sauce. Oh…the dipping sauce.

Im trying out a new printable recipe card feature for you my lovely readers, scroll to the bottom of the post for your grocery list and complete intructions. Please, do tell me how you like the new plugin!

Sugar Detox Pantry Basics: Smoky BBQ Sauce

Homemade BBQ Sauce

In my quest to please the BBQ sauce loving person in our home (because saying I wanted to please ‘my man’ with homemade BBQ sauce made my brain slightly implode and ideas of feminist revolt started to trickle in. But it’s true, so. Lawd BBQ sauce is complicated), and satisfy my desire to make my own condiments from scratch; I came up with this smokey, sexy sauce business.

It may boast a quick due-date, because it’s missing the bucket loads of sodium and preservatives that make the shelf life of the condiments we can’t seem to live without, last forever. (Think about that for a sec.) But it’s dang tasty and passed the, Mr. Picky-give-me-name-brand-cull-of-preservatives-ONLY, taste test.  It’s easy to make (with or without the smoke), freezes well and can be eaten with a multitude of spring and summer dishes.
