You can use any maple syrup! I used some that I bought from my blogger friend Laura at Finding Home. It’s amazing! I worked at a BBQ restaurant when I was a teenager and they made the best BBQ sauce. They never told me what was in the sauce…but I think I’m very close with this one! You know what they say…the secret’s in the sauce ;) And I finally got lights hung on the deck…I have been wanting to do this forever! I’m still trying to convince Mr. Refresh that we can leave them up all summer! Who doesn’t love a party on the deck?!   If you see the smoke rising from the back yard…yes, you should stop by and join us!
