Satisfy your flavor profile with Lawry's - review and giveaway



I don't know about you, but I don't like bland, boring food. But, with small children, I have to find the balance of foods that fit my flavor profile, but don't rock the boat with the kids. I don't like having food left on a plate because Mr. Picky says that dinner is too spicy, tart, or even sweet. So, when I see products that meet my flavor expectations but don't overwhelm my kids' taste buds, I'm hooked. 

Recently, MyBlogSpark and Lawry's gave me the opportunity to try some of their marinades and seasoning mixes. My kids are always excited when there is a package at the door so I enlisted their help with dinner. I let them pursue the options and we settled on the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato marinade. 

So before we headed off to afternoon activities, we set the chicken to marinade in our Pyrex pan, put it in the refrigerator and left for after school activities. When we came back, all I had to do is put the chicken in the oven, cook a little pasta and vegetables and we were done. 

The true test came when the kids sat down for dinner. Consensus was - the marinade was a hit. It as a little more sophisticated flavor that I like but the flavor profile was not extreme for the kids. My oldest even asked for seconds - so I call it a big hit. 

Lawry's offers several marinades and seasoning mixes. Some options are Asian Style Beef and Broccoli, Chimichurri Burrito Casserole, and Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala with Garlic and Basil, as well as a Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ marinade. 

Did you know that your flavor preferences tell a little about your personality?  A nationwide poll looked at people's preferences for tart, spicy, sweet and savory flavors and found that there are certain personality traits associated with the preferences. Here's some examples. 

  • 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.

  40. Spicy Flavors

  41. I'm Sweet, but my wife is Savory (conventionalist), so we usually flavor up things twice. Luckily, we have a large grill, so there's plenty of room for 2 flavors at the same time with no cross-contaminations! Thanks for the giveaway, it'd be nice not to marinade in a ziplock :)
