A recipe that receives raving compliments from my family and friends is the Sweet-Sour-Spice Sauce. Below is the recipe and it is fabulous on beef ribs. Using this recipe you are sure to win your BBQ cook off!
1 c distilled white vinegar
½ c sugar
¼ c tomato paste
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons dried mustard
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Mix vinegar, sugar, tomato paste and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl mix paprika, dried mustard, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder.
Heat oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add spice mix and cook until sizzling and fragrant 30-45 seconds. Stir in vinegar mixture and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for five minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool to room temperature. (Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.)

Dear Just Be: I recently moved here and would love the scoop on outdoor summer concert venues.
With the kick off to summer this weekend with the Memorial Day holiday, you are in luck. Live music will be heard around town, in our small towns and up in the mountains throughout the summer!
The main concert venues in the Denver area are:
Red Rocks Ampitheatre and Fiddlers Green Ampitheater.
Other great outdoor venues include the Denver Botanic Gardens and Infinity Park in Glendale.
You can also check out the Golden Triangle Museum Music Showcase and the City park Jazz Festival. Other smaller parks around Denver have summer concert series, such as the City of Englewood, Crescent Ampitheater in Greenwood Village, and in Arvada.
Wherever you go from Pueblo to Boulder, Ft. Collins to Aspen, music will be heard throughout Colorado this summer.

Dear Just Be: My roommate and I want to eat fresh, local produce this summer. Can you tell me where we can find a farmer’s market in Denver metro?
Farmer’s markets are abound in the Denver metro area; you can practically find one every day of the week. They are a great way to support the local economy as well as farmers. Farmer’s markets are also a fun activity to do and a great way to get outside and enjoy the weather.
Do be aware that you may experience some sticker shock when shopping at farmer’s markets. Farmer’s markets can be a bit pricey because of the fact that they aren’t producing large quantities like the producers or manufactures that you will find in your metro Denver grocery store. Below is a list of the farmer’s markets I am aware of. There are probably more and if you find one, please share!
