Lawry’s “What’s Your Flavor” Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

I love using marinades when I cook a lot of my meat. Any time we can layer the flavor in our cooking we do it.  Using marinades is a quick and easy way to flavor your steaks, chicken and pork.  I was recently asked to try out Lawry’s new marinades and let you know what I thought.  Here is an interesting survey that Lawry’s conducted:

A recent Lawry’s survey found that your choice of flavor says more about you than you think. The nationwide poll looked at preferences for tart, spicy, sweet, and savory flavors and found that your choice can reveal some interesting aspects of your personality.

What’s your flavor?

• Joyous Joiners – Tart Flavors
  If you are one for tart flavors, you tend to be extremely happy overall, particularly with your family, finances, work/life balance and even your health. As a Joyous Joiners you are an extrovert who loves to entertain at home, find it very important to join in social events in your community and are active on the greatest number of social networking sites.
• Self-Assured Adventurers – Spicy Flavors If your preference is for spicy flavors, consider yourself a confident, adventurous individual with a passion for travel and cooking. You are the biggest risk taker and although impulsive, you are not reckless – as a Self-Assured Adventurer you also tend to be resourceful, analytical, and most able to “look at the big picture.”
• The Sweet Lifers – Sweet Flavors
  As a Sweet Lifer, home and family are close to your heart. You are the kindest and most loyal, although you probably wouldn’t admit that as you are also the most modest. As an individual that prefers sweeter flavors (honey and fruit-infused), you are influenced by your parents, enjoy family entertainment, and consider yourself spiritual.
• The Conventionalists – Savory Flavors
  Your passion for savory flavors shows you have an enthusiasm for politics, enjoy camping and hiking and love outdoor barbeques and American cuisine. Along with the other Conventionalists, you tend to be more introverted than the rest of the groups and often describe yourself as a homebody.

We love spicy flavors and  the Self-Assured Adventurers profile does best describe me.  I love to travel and to cook and I am constantly thinking about the big adventure.  I guess that is why I love Lawry’s all new Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ marinade.  This new marinade gives meat a delicious sweet and sour flavor with a touch of Szechuan heat.  I tried it with both chicken and steak and thought it was delicious.  It gives just the right amount of spicy without overwhelming your taste buds or frying them with too much heat.

If you love savory flavors you need to check out the other new marinade, Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato that includes extra virgin olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet red bell peppers and the perfect blend of herbs.  This pairs nicely with chicken and a glass of red wine.

In addition to the two new marinades, Lawry’s also has 4 new seasoning packets available:

Seasoning Mixes

• Asian Style Beef & Broccoli – This easy to prepare stir fry meal will remind your family of their favorite Asian restaurant. The dish combines beef, broccoli and seasonings with a hint of garlic. Serve it over rice and you have a complete, satisfying meal.
• Chimichurri Burrito Casserole – Lawry’s gives the familiar Burrito casserole a new twist with this traditional Latin American sauce. With a few simple fresh ingredients, mealtime just got a lot more exciting.
• Mediterranean Sundried Tomato & Garlic Chicken – Add a taste of the Mediterranean to your family’s casserole. This easy to bake casserole combines chicken, pasta, tomatoes and Feta cheese to easily make a flavorful meal any night of the week.
• Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala with Garlic and Basil – Chicken Marsala is a restaurant favorite, but it might not make the menu at home. This effortless version comes together on your stovetop with just a few fresh ingredients. Flavorful garlic and basil gives this meal its own Tuscan flair, perfect for serving over pasta or rice.
