Summer essentials:

• Fody’s BBQ sauce (see our review on it). It definitely is worth the trouble if you want to have something ready to go on hand.
• Fody’s Ketchup
• If you have time you can make your own Smoked Hickory sauce.
• Buys some bamboo skewers.
  • You can do “make your own Kabob” (LOW FODMAP ingredient suggestions here) this is a fun way to have none FODMAP people integrate with FODMAP people. You pick what you can eat and let them pick what they can /want to eat. It’s a ton of fun and choose your own adventure is always fun.
    • Pork Kabob suggestion for the meet
  • They are great to make desert (Fruit on a stick)
• Curve Ball recipe for the BBQ: Pat in the Hat Thai Turkey Burgers.

If you saw our last post on breaking down a pork tenderloin you might say to yourself, now that I have all this pork what should I do with it. Well it’s summertime and their are some great marinades you can use. I do suggest all of these marinades taste better with at least 2 hours of time to soak into the meat. Their is nothing wrong with adding the marinade to the meat as you freeze it. This just make it super easy when grabbing it out so that it’s ready to go for you. With that said here are some super easy and delicious marinade recipes.

• BBQ sauce. You got go wrong with the simplest of strategies. I think that it’s hard the flavour of BBQ sauce. And it’s just so simple to make and flavourful. It’s a crowd winner and you don’t have to really stretch yourself to make the sauce.
• Citrus (Carnitas) Marinade. If you are looking for fresh flavours this is a great choice. It’s has the pizzaz that you are looking for and can be made from regular ingredients in your fridge. This can be a life saver recipe that can be wiped up in a hurry to make your feel the flavours of summer. I do suggest that you don’t freeze this recipe with the pork. The acidity will dry out the meat, so stick to a more strict 2 hour marinade. I do freeze the marinade separately from the meat and mix them together when thawed.
• Savory Soy Marinade. Saving the best for last this is my goto pork marinade. I love this, it has the salty savoriness that speaks to my sole. I love how the flavours come together. Totally worth the 2 hour wait to eat this. I have also been known to chop up the pork chops so even more of they soy mixture penetrates the pork. Then I take the meat, stab it with a bamboo skewer and have a little pork shish kabob.
