Saucy Mama Review & Giveaway

"It takes a real stickler in the kitchen to make products this consistently tasty. And that’s mom. She won’t rest until every family member declares her latest taste sensation the most delicious sauce, marinade, cocktail onion, olive, or mustard they’ve ever tasted. And even then she’ll try to make it better."

Cooking and food has always been a big part of my life. My mom and her mom are Italian and it seems like I grew up in a kitchen. Nowadays my tastes have grown, especially since I married a cook. We are always looking to try something new, so I was thrilled when I contacted Saucy Mama (Barhyte Foods) and they agreed to sponsor a review and a giveaway.

I received a more than generous package containing the following Saucy Mama Products:

• Saucy Mama's Champagne & Honey Mustard
• Saucy Mama's Chipotle Mustard
• Saucy Mama's Sesame Ginger Dressing
• Saucy Mama's Lime Chipotle Marinade
• Saucy Mama's Parmesan Garlic Marinade
• Saucy Mama's Cracked Pepper Marinade

Let me just say, both the husband and I have some seriously happy taste buds! We both work alot in the summer and tend to do way more cooking in the winter when things slow down, but no way were we going to wait to use these babies!

I happened to have some fresh veggies, picked up at my local farm, on hand when my Saucy Mama came in the mail so I decided to use them to test out the Parmesan Garlic Marinade. I steamed my green beans then mixed them with some cubed potatoes. I poured enough Parmesan Garlic to coat them, gave it a good stir and baked them. First off, just opening the Marinade was enough to make my mouth water, it smell so good. The finished product was divine! It's an amazing blend of Parmesan cheese and garlic (which I adore) that has a surprising zing to it! I can think of so many other things to use this with!

Next up we used the Cracked Pepper on both wings and a roast. The wings, my hubby just tossed in the marinade and baked. YUM! The roast I let marinade over night in the fridge then cooked in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots. It's a mouthwatering, tangy pepper flavor that leaves craving more and my roast was so tender it fell apart with the touch of a spoon!

I have used the Sesame Ginger on a grilled chicken salad and it just may be my new favorite dressing. The mustards are spectacular. Hubby has taken to putting Champagne & Honey on one slice of bread and Chipotle on the other for an explosion of flavor. I know it isn't very gourmet to admit this but I have been using the Champagne & Honey on those microwave soft pretzels and must may be addicted! I haven't tasted the Lime Chipotle yet, but there are some pork chops marinating right now and the smell promises wonderful things! This Mama is going to have to do some shopping because I am dying to try the Saucy Mama Smokey Garlic Mustard (love garlic!), the Saucy Mama's Raspberry Vinaigrette and the Saucy Mama Spicy Garlic Wing Sauce (are you seeing the pattern here?).
