Honey Sweet Plank Salmon 
INGREDIENTS
2 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks 1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 Cup of Gayle's Honey Sweet BBQ Sauce
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Soak the cedar planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours. Add a splash of bourbon to the water if desired.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. They are ready to cook on when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
Season the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place the fillets onto the smoking cedar planks, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon a small amount of Gayle's BBQ sauce over the salmon fillets, and continue cooking until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes more. Serve with the remaining sauce.
Chipotle-Dijon Barbecue Short Ribs
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds short ribs of beef, each cut into 4-inch pieces 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups Gayle's Chipotle BBQ Sauce
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place ribs, meaty-side up, in large roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt. Brush with 2 tablespoons of Chipotle BBQ sauce. Bake 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining Chipotle BBQ sauce and Dijon mustard; set aside 1/2 cup mixture to serve with ribs later.
Brush ribs with Dijon chipotle sauce; bake 1 hour longer, basting occasionally, and turning a few times during baking.
Preheat grill to high. Place ribs on hot grill, meaty-side up. Cook about 10 minutes, turning once, and brushing with sauce occasionally. Serve ribs with reserved Dijon chipotle sauce.
Serve your Sweet N Sassy dish alongside a vegetable, salad or other favorite sides, and finish with a yummy dessert for a perfect Valentine evening!
