Utah's Favorite Condiment

The places we have visited so often influence the foods we love and eat all the time. Such is the case with what has become our favorite dipping sauce recipe of all time – a knock-off of Utah’s favorite condiment, the 1940s pink-hued dip known as Fry Sauce, reportedly first made by Don Carlos Edwards, the owner of Don Carlos’ Barbecue.

Dear hubby came across the original fry sauce on a business trip through Salt Lake City, Utah, when he caught a quick lunch at a fast-food chain and fell in love with the mayo and ketchup mixture that inspired him to come home and make his own.

Over the years, Dear Hubby, who by the way loves concocting foods in the kitchen, too, has modified the original mixture of an equal amount of Hellman’s Mayonnaise and ketchup to include a bit of spicy zing. Today’s recipe is his rendition and a complete fry sauce knock-off recipe resulting from another knock-off concoction (discovered in Idaho) that provides for salsa.

Take a peek at the behind GfreeDeliciously

Being creative, cooking, fresh veggies, the violin, decorating for holidays, sewing, hand-quilting, cowgirl boots, country music, fresh herbs in pots, blowing dandelions to the wind, walking barefoot in the grass, hanging out with eclectic interesting people, reading, writing, warm lazy summer days, and yoga!

Gluten, cilantro, mixed vegetables (the frozen kind I grew up with), negativism, rudeness, narcissism, overstaying a welcome,
not helping out, liars, promiscuity, cockiness, know-it-alls, being overly-dramatic, goal-less-ness, poor hygiene, chauvinism, lacking a sense of humor, excessive competitiveness, Laziness, horrifying spellers, people-bashing, criticism and mockery of others and their beliefs, flakiness (because flaky people are really unappealing), more swagger than substance, people who constantly manage others (those folks who think they have all the answers…)

Lambrusco, my iPad, popcorn suppers, dark chocolate, cookbooks, Almond-Rocca, historical romances, sun-bathing, weekend coffee with a good book in bed, PBS cooking shows, romantic comedies, cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and fragrant bubble baths with soft music and wine…

Coach | Cook | Creator | Publisher

A self-taught Gfree lifestyle expert on [most] gluten-free things, I’ve always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love.

My journey began when everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating suddenly changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

I live in the Holylands of Central Wisconsin. All the recipes you’ll find here are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I cook with seasonal ingredients using fresh whole foods, making dishes suitable for everyday life and bringing food lovers together at the same table. I hope my recipes, and tips can make your life a little easier.

Gfree cooking, maintaining my healthy gut, and wellness are my life. This little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned—where my passion is to nourish every GfreeDeliciously!
