Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Every Friday I send out 5 recipes to help you plan your meals.Take a look below and see which of these recipes you want to make!

Hi Reader,

Let’s talk BBQ sauce.

It’s sweet, tangy, smoky - basically, it makes everything better.

And whether you’re brushing it on the grill, mixing it into burgers, or using it as a base for something completely different, it’s one of those kitchen staples that just works.

So, if you’ve got a bottle in the fridge (or want to try making your own), here are five BBQ-packed recipes to put it to good use:

A simple, homemade sauce that’s rich, tangy, and way better than anything store-bought.
Juicy, flavorful, and ridiculously easy, this grilled favorite comes together with a quick marinade that does all the heavy lifting.
This leaner option stays tender and full of flavor thanks to a marinade that locks in moisture.
Leftovers get a serious upgrade in this easy, cheesy meal that comes together in a snap.
This smoky, juicy classic gets an extra boost of richness inside and out.

So, whether you’re grilling this weekend or just looking for an easy way to mix up your meals, these recipes have you covered.

Warmly,
Taryn
