:help:Hi lapbanders,

I'm still on my pre-liquid diet diet and I need some ideas or recipes on how to cookout this holiday. I can get mostly protiens but I'm not sure if any condiments or BBQ sauce is better that an other. Any suggestions..

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds delicious. I did modify it to lower the carbs considerably.

Balsamic BBQ Sauce

1 c balsamic vinegar

3/4 c sugar-free ketchup

1/3 c brown sugar Splenda

2 tsp garlic paste

1 Tbsp Worcestshire sauce

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Even with the changes I made, it's not super low-carb, but it's pretty low-calorie, fat-free and is definitely healthier than anything you could buy off the supermarket shelves. We're grilling portobello mushrooms tomorrow and BBQ sauce doesn't sound very tasty on them, but I'm going to try it this weekend. If you decide to try it tomorrow let me know how it turns out.
