Lawry’s recetly conducted a survey which 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. Here is what they discovered:
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.
Down here in New Orleans, we are known for liking our food with an extra kick! Since I like to cook, but don’t always have the time, I am always looking for quick ways to add flavor to my dishes. I knew about Lawry’s Seasonings, because I use their garlic salt, but I recently found out that they have a whole line of marinades and seasoning mixes.
Here is some information about Lawry’s from their site: For over 70 years, Lawry’s has brought a distinctive flavor to tables across America. From their humble origins in a Los Angeles potato chip shop to the grandeur of The Prime Rib Beverly Hills restaurant, Lawrence Frank and his brother-in-law Walter Van de Kamp combined solid business acumen with a passion for good cooking. A staple in both restaurants and gourmet kitchens, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt revolutionized the art of flavoring and became the forerunner of an expanding line of quality products. Innovators in the industry, Lawry’s introduced dehydrated sauce mixes, seasonings, marinades, and spice blends to the market. Anticipating and responding to changes in American culinary and lifestyle habits, Lawry’s recipe for success saved time and added amazing homemade flavor to meals across America. Lawry’s entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to quality and distinguished reputation for excellence makes it an integral part of a new millennium of flavor.
Lawry’s recently released two new marinades and four new Seasoning Mix packets that help create simple meals with an abundance of flavor:
Marinades
- Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ gives meat a delicious sweet and sour flavor with a touch of Szechuan heat
- Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato includes extra virgin olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet red bell peppers and the perfect blend of herbs
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.
Lawry’s was nice enough to send me over some of their marinades and seasoning mixes to try. I so far have cooked the Chimichurri Burrito Casserole and Asian Style Beef & Broccoli, both of which were easy to prepare. My whole family enjoyed the burrito casserole and asked if I would cook that again. I fixed the Asian Style Beef & Broccoli with the orange juice twist. Wyatt complained that it was spicy, but the rest of the family like the flavor. I liked that both dishes included the addition of a vegatable, so that my family is getting a complete meal. I hope to try one of the marinades this week. Here is a picture of how my beef and broccoli turned out:
The new Lawry’s Seasoning Mixes and Marinades are available for purchase now at your local grocery store.
