I used cayenne pepper in this rub, but if you want to keep the spice level down, use chili powder instead. Personally, I love the spice, but I don't think I need to tell you that if you have been reading my blog for awhile now.
The sauce came out of my own kitchen. Just a simple blend of mayo and mustard. It is simple but could be used with any number of dishes...once again: versatile! YAY!!

If it weren't 8:20 am I'd be hungry looking at these (I don't eat anything until noon.)
