Ziploc Review & Giveaway - Summer Grilling Edition!

Powered by RANDOM.ORG
Raettig Family is the winner!  Congratulations!
Ours is a Ziploc house.  No other brand will do when it comes to food storage.  With Ziploc, there is no question that the storage bag is strong enough and or that the seal is closed and is going to stay that way.  Ziploc is the only brand of storage bags and containers that we buy.

Ziploc Brand has partnered with Food Network contributor, cookbook author, nutritionist, and mom Robin Miller to help families get more out of their summer festivities, while saving time, money and resources. Miller has quick and hassle-free solutions to make summer entertaining and festivities a breeze.

One tip Robin suggests to keep meat juicy is to marinate before cooking.  Instead of using a dish or bowl, try marinating in a Ziploc Freezer Bag for easy cleanup.  A really clever idea is to grill kabobs (using beef, fish, or chicken) layered with onions, bell pepper or other vegetables.  When it's time to serve, have your guests help themselves to dipping stations using a variety of sauces. 

You might try this Chipotle-Lime Mayo!
1/3 cup of light mayonnaise
1/2 lime, juice and zest
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chipotle powder (or smoked chili powder).
Combine all ingredients, mix, season with salt and pepper, and serve.  Yum!

For more ideas and tips, join Ziploc and Robin Miller on their Facebook page.
