Sauces make the world go ‘round, at least my world. I pretty much use sauce to dress up
everything I eat – french fries, chicken, sandwiches, pizza crusts, pasta,
chips. I think food is just better
when you can dip it or mop it up in some delicious, creamy concoction.
I do have my favorites – alfredo for pasta, cheese for
chips and crackers, ranch for pizza and sandwiches, but I got to thinking that
there’s more to life than those three glorious sauces. So I scoured the all-knowing Pinterest,
and I found ten sauces that I simply must try. And not just “try“ in the sense of taste and see if I like
it, but “try“ as in make them, from scratch. All in the hopes of expanding the palette and learning
something new in the kitchen.
I’ve decided to call this little foray the Saucy
Challenge, and I shall be undertaking it over the next few months. As a quick little disclaimer before I
unveil this saucy heaven, most of you know (and some may not) that I am not a
fan of red sauces. Don’t expect
any on the list, cause it ain’t happening.

So there you have it. I tried to do a nice mix of sweet and savory, cheese-based and BBQ, dessert and appetizer. I kind of like my list, and I can’t wait to try them all. I’ll post updates as I cross the sauces off the list. Until then, may you make your world a little bit better with sauce. Happy saucing everyone!
