Lauryn’s Barbeque Sauce Review By @SouthDallasFoodie

?>

This week I was enlisted by my super awesome Editor, Julianne, to try out Lauryn’s Barbecue Sauce and try to come up with some recipes.

So much pressure you guys, but it was so worth it. I’ve spent the last three weekends messin’ around and now I am here to share with you, our loyal Girls (and boys) on Food, my findings.

Lauryn’s Maple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce y’all.

Over the course of three weekends, I used the sauce in three different ways. My litmus test with all BBQ sauces is how well it works for chicken wings. I was not disappointed.

Maple Bourbon BBQ Chicken

Lauryn’s Maple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce is probably the best sauce I’ve ever used on wings you guys.

I’m not crazy about wing sauce that is super spicy or overly vinegar-ish, but this sauce has a kick to it and rounds the sweetness out so well.

It’s not too sweet, not too tangy. It’s perfect.

Then last weekend my adorable foodie husband bought a teeny new grill to play with this summer. We christened the grill with the sauce and a huge rack of baby back ribs.

Step one – Sauce and Bake the ribs

Recipe for mouth watering, fall off the bone ribs By SouthDallasFoodie:

Salt, pepper then sauce them bad boys up.

Place ribs on a wire rack inside a roasting pan.

Fill the pan with water, about an inch deep. You don’t want the water touching the meat. Cover very tightly with foil and bake for two hours at 325.

You’ll know they’re ready when you can see the bones poking out.

Then sauce them again and either put them under the broiler on low (continuously monitored) for about 2 minutes, OR…

A little hickory wood smoke always does the trick.

…give them a few moments on the grill. All we’re trying to do is get these babies nice and caramelized so just about five minutes or so should do the trick.

Today, the hubs and I had friends and family over for Memorial Day. I decided to enlist one of my own little Girls On Food, my Goddaughter – Emma, to help me with the most fun and most delicious recipe in the whole experiment.

This gorgeous girl is going places in the kitchen y’all. She’s a natural Chef.

This recipe is not just delicious and fun but also super easy.

Take about 1/2 a cup of Lauryn’s Maple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce and mix in about 1/4 cup of brown sugar.

Now lay some bacon out on a roasting pan and brush the mixture on.

Bake at 350 for 5 minutes then baste again…

My oven is a battlefield of charred food crumbs.

You’re gonna do a baste, bake five minutes, baste, bake five minutes thing here. About twenty minutes should do it; it just depends on how crisp you like it.

When you’re done, VOILA, you have Maple Bourbon Candied Bacon Strips. If you’re looking for a unique appetizer, then look no further.

The maple flavor with the bacon was off the hook. A super unhealthy/delicious snack for any occasion.

Let Lauryn know Girls On Food sent ya! Happy cookin’.

My career identity is at a bit of a crossroads these days. I have been a salesman since I was eighteen years old, I’ve sold cars, diamonds, clothes- you name it. I’ve always been fairly successful and I love sales in general, but, living in the South Dallas suburbs, every job I’ve ever had has come with an excruciating, hour(s) long commute in Dallas traffic and a schedule that allowed for practically zero family time. For years I’ve been missing precious hours with my family, sitting at a desk, staring at their photograph. It got to the point where I was literally crying everyday, missing them. About five years ago I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, a thyroid condition that causes your thyroid to produce way too much hormone. (Your thyroid controls just about every function of the body.) In 2013 my health took a really bad turn. I had been working while sick for too long. Then, last year, I was forced to leave my job in Sales and Marketing due to the illness. My family and my love of cooking for them are the things that help me through all this health nonsense. Fast forward to today, by the Grace of God, my health is finally improving and I’m now a stay at home mom. My blog www.SouthDallasFoodie.com chronicles my adventures in becoming a food blogger aND I also share Dallas area restaurant and entertainment reviews. While I’m not a professional Chef, I did have the privilege of being taught the fundamentals of cooking by three of the best Chefs that ever lived; my mother and her parents. They raised me on huge, southern style Thanksgiving dinners, stews, chili’s, fried chicken, chicken fried steak and country gravy. In my kitchen I like to create classic dishes that are simple and delicious. I like to take classic recipes and use simple substitutions to make them uniquely mine. I love dining out and the Dallas restaurant scene has plenty to offer but nothing frustrates me more than spending 30 dollars on a plate that comes out with three, teeny, pretentious bites. I look for the places in DFW that serve decent sized portions of delicious food, for a fair price with a good selfie mirror in the bathroom. And also, I’m obsessed with 90’s sitcoms, coffee, pop culture and cats. :)
