Amaze and astound your family and friends by marinating lamb kabobs in Humus, or pork chops in apple butter. Don't always grab that same old bottle of tomato and vinegar based sauce, do something radical. Let your kids help, they always come up with great variation and love to help spread it on. My kids are especially fond of any sauce I can think up with peanut butter for their chicken tenders. Let's talk sauces and rubs.
Most people are passionate on what they prefer.
A dry rub is seasonings, herbs and spices rubbed into meats prior to cooking. I ran into in New Orleans. Either way, you rub your favorite seasonings on and then grill or smoke the meats. Truthfully you should really only use a rub when smoking because a sauce will only burn in the long cooking process. Dry rubbed meats are usually served either plain or with sauce or gravy on the side.
