We arrived home at 6:00 one night and I knew it would be forever until we ate if I made the salmon. Sure, I could just make something else on the menu for the week, but this preggo mama was totally pumped about the salmon! Being the "results-oriented" person I am, (you Arcadians out there know what that means--wink, wink) I looked out in the garage to find my saving grace: a bottle of Lawry's Brand, Havana Garlic and Lime marinade. (I promise, this isn't a "blog commercial!") The flavor was perfect and the closest I could get to the original recipe.
Anywho, I grabbed it and quickly marinated the salmon. I even only marinated it 30 minutes and the flavor still absorbed nicely. Moral of the story?1) Always have some marinade on hand to make a super delish dinner fast;
2) Lawry's brand marinades are our friend--no matter what flavor you use; and finally,
3) go ahead and purchase 20 bottles of these bad boys when they go on sale for a BUCK at Albertson's, you'll definitely use 'em all!
p.s. We're actually grilling pork chops tonight and they've been marinating in the steak and chop flavor...yumm-o.
p.p.s. My favorite flavor of all is the Sesame Ginger one, it rocks my cooking world.

Sesame ginger is definitely yumm-o! I actually have the Kroger brand on hand most of the time. I have yet to see the Lawry's go down to $1 per, but will have to keep my eyes open! Great tip!
