Smokey BBq Rub
Where does the time go? I have been so busy with work, school, (1 year left!) and all the personal projects and hobbies that have kept me away from my favoritist passed time, blogging. Though spending hours being inspired by so many creative souls on Pinterest has had me awe struck. Anyway, forgive me for being away so long, though I still follow so many of you and the happenings in your creative lives.
As of late, I have been experimenting with different rubs for the summer months ahead. My son has become very interested in smoking and BBq and may take it as far as entering a few competitions. In support of his new hobby and pastime, I try to create different sauces and rubs for him to try. This is one that has a sweet and smokey flavor that tastes great and creates a wonderful crust when used in a smoker, but also works great on the grill with direct heat. Enjoy!
