Marinades

I have found that a quick, easy and tasteful way to make dinner is to use store-bought marinades! These are some of my favorites.I use this when I make fajitas. I cut up a pound of cube steak and marinate it for 30 minutes in this sauce. YUM!
Lawry's marinades taste so good on chicken. We love the Hawaiian and Herb & Garlic flavors. Other options are: baja chipotle, carribean jerk, digon & honey, havana garlic & lime, italian garlic steak, lemon pepper, Louisiana red pepper, mesquite, Mexican child & lime, sesame ginger, steak & chop, tequila lime, and teriyaki.
