The Busy Baker - Deliciously simple recipes

Sauce central! 5 must-make recipes

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

Hi friends,

You know we like to simplify life in the kitchen. The Busy Baker has a great collection of dressings, condiments, sauces and more that are simple to make at home, not to mention fresh and delicious. Today we're sharing some of our favourite sauces to help you stock your fridge and inspire your meal planning for the week ahead!
​

My family loves this Homemade Honey Garlic Barbecue Sauce! Both sweet and savoury, it pairs perfectly with burgers, ribs, grilled chicken, you name it! (We've been known to dip our potato wedges in it from time to time, too.)

If you're looking for fresh flavour, look no further than this Chimichurri Sauce. Packed with fresh herbs and chilis, garlic, and onion, this sauce takes your condiment game to the next level! It pairs perfectly with grilled meats and vegetables AND works great as a marinade, too. Pro-tip: freeze single portions in ice cube trays for easy use later!

This Garlic Sauce is so versatile, we know it will become a staple in your house like it is in ours! It's ultra creamy, savoury, tangy, and soooo delicious. It works great as a dip or spread paired with grilled meats or veggies, potatoes, even pita bread!

Want a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card? It's SO easy. We and other readers want to hear from you! After you've made one of our recent recipes, leave a review on the blog (and post a picture, if you wish) - that's it! 🙌

​

No more running to the store to by a bottle of sauce - we're pretty sure your pantry already has all the ingredients you need for this Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce! While it's obviously the perfect addition to your enchiladas, you can also add it to a variety of Mexican-inspired recipes! We love using this recipe in our Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas or this Creamy One Pot Chicken Enchilada Pasta.

​

Tangy and creamy, this Spicy Mayo is even quicker to make than the recipe above! Spread this on your sandwiches, wraps, tacos, even sushi to add a little heat. Looking to add an extra kick? Try one of these variations!

What condiment is a staple in your kitchen?? We'd love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
