This time of the year is extremely busy for us and I’m often tempted to just go out for dinner more times then less. It’s the easiest way to get a great tasting meal when I don’t have the time to prepare and cook something. But when I’m given the tools to make a tasty meal in a short time, then I’m all over that!
That’s exactly what happened when I received the Lawry’s Complete Meal Pack from Lawry’s and My Blog Spark. It contained not only the dish to marinate and cook my dinner in, but also 4 of Lawry’s new seasoning packs to give the meal a lot of flavor!
Lawry’s has some new seasoning packets and each package is an exciting meal idea that quickly turns ordinary chicken, beef or pasta into a delicious meal the entire family will love.
The new varieties include:
- 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 for a complete, satisfying meal.
- Chimichurri Burrito Casserole – Lawry’s gives the 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 for a flavorful meal any night of the week.
- Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala with Garlic & Basil –This effortless version of a restaurant favorite 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.
I’ve used 2 of the seasoning packets so far….. Mediterranean Sundried Tomato and Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala. We loved them both!! We eat a lot of chicken and these packets were the best way to spice them up. But what I loved most was how easy the meals were to create. I simply marinated the chicken and then baked it. All I needed to do was make a salad and veggie (which I popped in the microwave). Simple dinners with lots of flavor when you don’t have time to cook!

Wow! Extra time? I don’t know if I’d use it to try to catch up on everything else that I’m behind or, or to catch up on sleep (behind on that too!)
What would you do with the time saved by cooking with Lawry’s new seasoning mixes??
I would actually make dinner rather than suggesting I pick up a pizza or Burger King.
I would rather make Lawry’s b/c I know what goes into it. As long as it’s simple my college age daughter and my husband can figure it out.
THANKS LAWRYS!
I would use that time for “me time”. Relax with a cup of hot coffee and a biscotti.
