The ultimate Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce that’s made from scratch super quick & easy in the blender, then simmered to finger lickin’ perfection. Slather it on chops or ribs, spread a layer on your grass-fed burgers, or use it as a dip for potato wedges. I often set out to create a recipe that’s a Whole30 compliant or “Paleo-fied” version of the real deal that I…
