This Jack & Coke BBQ Sauce was created in an attempt to come up with a great summer BBQ sauce. I had made BBQ sauces before with the addition of Jack Daniels, which had me thinking about a Jack and Coke. That’s where the inspiration came from.

This sauce would be wonderful on BBQ ribs! It is so nice out here in Calgary today. We are still dealing with Coronavirus, so unfortunately not much company…

Roasted Beet Orange and Fennel Salad with Pistachios

I try to visit the local farmers market here in Calgary once a week especially during the summer months when there is so much fresh produce available. I felt a little sad my last trip there as I realized that soon winter would be here…
