Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

I whipped this up the other day when I was in need of some bbq sauce. I doubt I will ever use any bottled sauce again...and there are some GOOD ones out there. IT Guy declared it "out of this world" and you know he always tells the truth!!

Sweet and Smokey BBQ Sauce


2 cups ketchup
2 cloves of garlic ~ minced
1 tablespoons of onion powder
2 tablespoons of honey
1 cups of brown sugar
1 Tablespoons of red pepper flakes
2 Tablespoons of paprika
1 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Few drops liquid smoke

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook on low for about 30 - 45 minutes.


Here's the ingredients that will 
become wonderful goodness!

Dump it all in a saucepan and heat 
through for about 30 minutes and you're done!

A delicious sauce!!
