A Little Kick Goes a Long Way

MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Jul 25, 2011) - (Family Features) This time of year is about celebrating fresh, simple, flavorful food with friends and family. The trick is to spend less time in the kitchen so you have more time to enjoy the sunny weather. Cooking through the warmer months is easy once you've found your go-to, all-purpose flavor. The right seasoning should have a comfortable familiarity and be versatile enough to enjoy in endless recipes.

One family favorite is Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Just a shake will kick-up any meal with fabulous flavor and vibrant color. New this year, Lawry's Original Seasoned Salt Marinade adds a modern zing to warm-weather favorites, capturing the essence of summer's essential seasoning

For effortless, savory meals, look to these simple tips:

• On the go. Add a personal, homemade touch to your family's favorite snacks by combining pretzels, peanuts, cashews and popcorn with a sprinkle of your go-to seasoning.
• On the grill. Marinades infuse chicken, steaks and veggies with robust flavor. If you've grown tired of grilled chicken, remember your grill is as flexible as your seasonings. Try reinventing chicken supper as a grilled pizza topped with delicious marinated chicken breast for a simple, creative, al fresco supper.
• For a crowd. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or feeding a whole block party, Lawry's Seasoned Salt delivers crowd-pleasing flavor to all your favorite recipes. For that signature zing, add a shake to potato and pasta salads.
