It’s not burnt it’s blueberries. <cries in food allergies>
I have a food sensitivity to nightshades which includes tomatoes, paprika, most peppers, and even white potatoes. Glorious potatoes. 😭 Tomato and/or paprika are in EVERYTHING. I’m also allergic to sunflower, which is also in EVERYTHING.
This means I live in an ingredient household and make most everything from scratch or pay a premium for the rare pre-made food that doesn’t contain sunflower or nightshades.
And it also means that I get creative! I’m constantly looking for new flavor combinations to make up for missing flavor classics like tomatoes and peppers. With mixed results. 😅
I made from scratch a blueberry garlic wing sauce, overnight marinade. It started red, then turned purple, and now with quick bake they turned a green black. 😵💫
Once we get to the bbq, I will grill them again and I saved some of the purple sauce to use to grill them crispy. But they already look burnt!!
The man says he can’t stomach these, the color is too off putting. My family will probably say the same. They have the luxury of being able to eat whatever they want.
I GUESS THAT MEANS IT IS ALL FOR ME! OMNOMNOMNOM!
These are tender and juicy and garlicky. I’m sad that little blueberry flavor didn’t really come through, but I’m glad these won’t make my bones feel like they’re being crushed in a hydraulic press.
I hope everyone gets to enjoy something just for themselves today.
