Chef LaLa Homemade Giveaway: Mexican Gourmet Marinades, $25 Visa Gift Card, and More!


My birthday was on Friday, and I shouldn't be the only one receiving gifts. So this week I have a fabulous giveaway sponsored by Chef LaLA Homemade that one lucky reader can win.

As always, I only feature products that are in line with my values as a cook and blogger. I love Chef LaLa Homemade's all natural, easy-to-use sauces and marinades. These sauces and marinades were crated by cookbook author and certified nutritionist, Chef LaLa, who has been at the forefront of the healthy revolution of Latin home cooking, the recipes are influenced by authentic Mexican culinary traditions yet packaged for simple, modern day convenience.

They come in flavors like Orange Chipotle (amazing with chicken wings), Tequila Lime Cilantro (great for chicken and seafood), Carne Asada, and Fajitas Marinade. They're the perfect way to bring a little Latin spice into your kitchen or onto your grill during these late summer months.

You’ll find Chef LaLa Homemade’s line of gourmet Latin specialty foods at select stores and through online retailers like MyBrands.com or MexGrocer.com. You can also follow Chef LaLa on Twitter (@cheflala) or check her out on FaceBook (www.facebook.com/ChefLaLaFan).

  1. I made a simple marinade last night for Halibut Steaks - olive oil, lemon, garlic, lemon pepper, parsley and a little dill - it was delicious!

  5. My favorite grilling recipe is shish-ke-bob with lots of tomatoes, green pepper, onion and pineapple but I'm a bit tired of Adolph's meat marinade for the meat. The Fajitas marinade might be just the change I'm looking for.

  16. This is maybe a strange idea, but when I was staying at a B&B in Alaska, the owner marinated moose meat (which tends to be tough) in a combo of Coca Cola and Teriyaki and it was DELISH!! The Coke tenderizes the meat. I am a vegetarian now, but... I would eat wild game if it were provided (no mooses in Texas!) :)

    1. Wow, that sounds super interesting now. I love grilling veggie friendly food! xx

  17. I absolutely love the flavor of lemon. When I grill veggie kabobs, I like to just make an informal marinade of lemon or lime juice, lemon pepper flakes, and sea salt, like Himalayan rock salt.

    ReplyDelete
  18. When I used to grill chicken for my (ex) boyfriend (LOL) I would marinate the chicken breasts in Italian dressing. I really prefer to cook from scratch, but Italian dressing has the perfect combo of salt, oil, and herbs and you don't have to prep anything! I would marinate for a couple hours to overnight if you really want flavor.

  25. My favorite salmon marinade recipe is from the NYT cookbook, and works for grilling or saute. Marinate for 4 hours, or just slather it on.
    Lemon, olive oil, vermouth (or white wine - works fine), thyme, marjoram, parsley and a tiny bit of sage. Salt and pepper to taste. It's amazing! :)
