What I wouldn’t give to live in the 1950′s.  I want to wear my polka dot dress, high heels, red lipstick, adorable apron, and have my hair looking cute while using my Dyson to tidy up just before the husband returns home from a hard day to eat the turkey dinner that I have ready and waiting on our kitchen table.  Wouldn’t that be the life?!  Everything in the 50′s was calm, happy, and innocent.  I guess I was just born in the wrong decade.

One thing that was born in the right decade was Herman T’s BBQ Sauce.  Herman T. Jones shared his bbq sauce with anyone who stopped by the house.  The sweet and smokey taste was loved by many.  Mr. Jones, believed that his bbq was good enough that it should compliment any beef, fish, chicken, or sausage that you put on your plate.  Just after Herman passed away, his grandson Brian, a chef, was determined to find the original recipe.  He wanted to share the believed recipe with the world.  He mass produced his Kansas City grandfather’s sauce in 2002.  Now the sauce is sold as a mix and can be made fresh from anywhere in the world.

I received two sauce mixes, one original and one spicy.  One pouch of mix makes 3/4 of a gallon sauce in less then 10 minutes.  The great part though, make as little or as much as you would like!  Always fresh!!  OR use it as a rub for meats before you cook!  Is your mouth watering yet?  It is just that good.

If you go to the Herman T’s blog you can get recipes to make your meat perfection until you get the hang of it.  There is everything from enchiladas to grilled salmon with lemon bbq sauce!  Yum!

Want to try some out for yourself?  Now’s your chance!
