It’s about time amiright?! I have been wanting to make a paleo BBQ sauce to have on my blog for awhile but I was trying to make it work with dates – aka whole30 compliant.  But when I tested this version with honey and coconut sugar I knew it was the one I needed to share!  I might share a whole30 version in the future but thats only 30 days of your life… and this BBQ sauce will be your new favorite forever!!  I know it’s so hard to part from your beloved Sweet Baby Rays – trust me, that stuff is LEGIT.  But I realized I love it so much because it’s packed with sugar – and not just even regular sugar – high fructose corn syrup! I know i know you are probably thinking, “I didn’t think it was even legal to put that in food anymore!!” Well it is, and tons of people still do it.  And because I am not one to be shy with the amount of BBQ sauce I’ll put on my ribs or chicken, I knew I had to make a cleaner version that I would love.  Another big factor for me?  SPICE. Or lack there of I should say.  I am not a huge fan of spicy stuff so I left out too much of that, but I do love the smoky flavor so I added that in with liquid smoke and smoked paprika.

Another thing I love adding BBQ sauce too is pizza!! We make pizza with Simple Mills pizza crust mix all the time and BBQ chicken pizza is the jam.  It’s my #2 fave kind of pizza after a good Hawaiian. Okay now I could go on and on about all the ways I use BBQ sauce – like mixing it with a little ranch dressing and making BBQ chicken salad…. BUT I will just get to the recipe which is kind of why you are here!

Also try and use this Paleo BBQ Sauce on my recipe for BBQ Shrimp Skewers!

Okay sorry but before you go I also just wanted to tell you that I talked to the TYLER FLORENCE today!! Yes the Tyler Florence from Food Network!! He has a podcast and he interviewed me today about sweet potato toast/  how I get creative in the kitchen.  I am so excited about it and will be sure to link you to the podcast when it is live!! Okay okay now the Paleo BBQ sauce!
