Avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup with Powder
June 15th, 2009Since I discovered Propel’s new formula contains hfcs, I have not been buying it. Considering how much of it I drank in the past, I really missed it. I decided to try the powder packets. They are tasty, and of course they do not contain hfcs. I’m happy.
Another challenge has been finding a good marinade. Our favorite marinade contained hfcs, so we have been searching for another. We liked the Paul Newman marinades ok, though they weren’t quite as flavorable as our old favorite. Recently, we discovered McCormick Grill Mates marinades which come in the form of powder packets. These are very tasty! The flavors really stick to the meat and only take 15 minutes to marinade. I like my marinades to have a strong flavor, and these definitely fit the bill. Yum!

We do TONS of McCormick Grill Mates… like almost nightly!
I buy the huge packages of chicken, pork chops, or flank steak at Sam’s club, divide them up in to ziplock bags of however much meat we need for a meal (like 3 chops), throw together a marinade, and then put them in the freezer. Then, I’ve got like 5 bags full of marinated pork chops for dinner… just pull one out the night before to thaw, and then throw it on the grill!!! It is so easy to make up a bunch of those marinades all at the same time. Love them!
