As a low-carber, I am leery of sauces. Even the savory ones tend to be chock-full of sugar. When it comes to bbq and other meat dishes, then, I like to use dry seasonings. Dry seasonings are flavorful and have nominal (if any) carbs.

For bbq, I like to use either a pre-mixed bbq seasoning blend or just good ol’ salt & pepper. We had burgers on the grill for dinner last night, and one of my sous chefs (the 10yo) wanted to help, so I let him salt & pepper the patties after I put them on the grill. One of the patties got way too much salt, so we had a little lesson in proper sprinkling technique. 😉

One of my favorite meat dishes is wings. I love — nay, LOVE!! — wings. I especially love lemon pepper and traditional “medium” flavor wings. Wing sauce is another tricky purchase, because some brands have a lot of sugar. I just read the labels. I haven’t been able to duplicate Wingstop’s fantabulous lemon pepper wings yet, but each attempt is a little better than the one before.
