Let the games begin!

I went to the office today and came home exhausted (full disclosure - I went to the office exhausted!). Let me tell you, nothing perks me up more than finding a HUGE box of goodies waiting for me in the dining room.

I am entered into a Food Blogger contest being run by the nice folks at Saucy Mama. They have asked 50 food bloggers to review their products and come up with creative ways to use them. Well now, that sounds right up my ally, doesn't it?

The following products arrived at my house this afternoon: Lime Chipotle Marinade, Hot Wing Sauce, Sweet Onion Marinade, Cracked Pepper Marinade, Chipotle Mustard and Jalapeno Stuffed Olives. In keeping in the spirit of this blog, I have checked the ingredient list and there is no HFCS or other weird chemicals in the products. A few (Lime Chipotle Marinade, Hot Wing Sauce and Cracked Pepper Marinade) are a bit high on sodium, so my challenge will be to use them sparingly while getting good flavor from the product and keeping the overall sodium content of the dish reasonable. Further, I need to put there recipes together within the next month. I can't wait to see what comes out of my kitchen in the ensuing few weeks. Stay tuned everyone ......

Oh, and by the way, the first person who comments on this post either on the blog or via Facebook wins a selection of tasty Saucy Mama products from me to you. Who will be the first?
