Saucy stuff

It's no secret we love LOCAL around here- that is the essence of the Windmill Market and the WestSide Grocery. With that in mind, it is easy to understand why we get pretty excited when we find a new locally-made product to stock our shelves and delight our customers. We have two new such sauces perfect for your summer BBQs that you have to come try!

Sweet Melissa's is made by a husband and wife team from Birmingham with a long history of good cooking. Randy and Beth Thomas have turned a passion into a home-based business now selling in stores all across the state of Alabama and beyond. Their sauces are decidedly southern, and as they say, spunky, spicy and undeniably sassy! What that means in regular terms is that this sauce is outstanding! She delivered two products to the WestSide last night: The Jalapeno Dipping Sauce, which is great as a dip for, or on top of, meat, cheese, fruits and veggies! And The Ruby Red BBQ, which is good on all grilled meats and she recommends you even mix it into your ground beef for your next burger!

We also received a delivery this morning from the Head Brothers out of Mobile who make some smokin' sauces, including a Traditional BBQ Sauce and a Yellow Habanero Mustard Dipping Sauce. The later I tried on some grilled smoked sausage from Farm Fresh Meats (also sold in the WestSide Grocery) and it was to die for- this coming from someone who doesn't like banana peppers OR mustard. That should tell you something. Coming from them next week: a Spicy Peach BBQ Sauce! Wholefoods bought the entire lot so we have to wait another week, but that should tell you something about how good it is.


Come give these sauces a try on your pork, beef or chicken tonight!
