Lawry's and B. Smith (Love her!) Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
Friday, September 5, 2008
Hispanic dishes are some of the most flavorful on earth. All of the herbs, spices, marinades, meats, beans, and vegetables... Oh! Our mouths are watering. Lawry's and B. Smith have joined together to celebrate National Hispanic-American Heritage Month through recipes, food and family."Mexican food, in particular, has become one of the most popular types of cuisine in America. Some longstanding, traditional dishes in America have roots in Mexican cuisine," said B. Smith, national spokesperson for the Lawry's "Cooking Up Culture" campaign, a yearlong celebration of the global influences on American cuisine. "Tacos, tamales and enchiladas, to name a few, are traditional Mexican dishes that can be found at any given time on American dinner tables. But, you don't have to limit yourself to those traditional favorites when cooking at home. It's easy to add the essence of Mexico to any meal. With marinades such as Lawry's Mexican Chile and Lime Marinade, the zesty flavors of Mexico can liven up your poultry, seafood, meat or vegetables by marinating no longer than 30 minutes," said Smith.
"Mexican cuisine is such a melting pot of flavors and delicious ingredients, that it's easy to be creative when preparing meals," added Smith. Get creative with your next family meal by trying these culturally-inspired recipes from Lawry's this Hispanic-American Heritage Month.
