Grill Mates aren't likely to set world on fire

The summer grilling season means the debut of several new Grill Mates products. This year's crop includes two wimpy seasonings and two powerful marinades.

I found the 5 Pepper Blend anything but fiery, despite containing ancho, chipotle, cayenne, black pepper and roasted chili peppers. The Cowboy Rub contains peppers (roasted chili peppers, crushed red pepper flakes and cracked peppers), garlic, smoke, sugar and some coffee, but also underwhelmed. Perhaps it's for cowboys who ride ponies rather than stallions.

The marinades are a more flavorful story. They have both a peppery and salty kick. The salty taste is easy to explain, as a teaspoon of either dry mix has 240 milligrams sodium, with each envelope of mix purported to marinate two pounds of meat, chicken or fish. That constitutes nine servings for the Carolina Country and 12 servings of the Backyard Brew. The flavors are decent, especially the Backyard Brew when using beer as the liquid.

To make these flavors come through, I suggest using half the dry mix, or double the liquid for twice as much meat.

I could taste the beer in the Backyard Brew, as well as salt and lots of herbs, but the overall flavor was only OK.

I actually preferred the two, more-traditional new Grill Mates products. The Carolina Country Marinade creates a mustard paste that anyone who likes mustard should really like. In a side-by-side taste test on shrimp, the Fiery 5 Pepper Blend blew away Old Bay powder, my usual go-to red pepper seasoning. The 5 Pepper Blend's dried flakes were much more complex and interesting and also packed more firepower.

Bisquick Complete Simply Buttermilk With Whole Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix. $2.99 per 28-ounce box.

I'm a from-scratch cook. That said, I know that others often use convenience products to save time, so I stay on the lookout for ones with clean ingredient lists to write about. By clean, I mean those with ingredients that you'd recognize and use in your own kitchen. Bisquick Complete Simply Buttermilk With Whole Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix is just that. Plus, you'll get 12 grams of whole grains (of the 48 recommended daily) in one serving.

Hi! I'm Kelly.

I'm a single dad who's using couponing to stretch my budget. I know I'm not the only dad who does this, so I hope this can be a good resource for others.

While saving is GREAT, I especially like being able to get items that would normally be an extravagance. The area we're in often doesn't have the best coupons in the inserts. That doesn't stop me, and it shouldn't stop you. Follow me and discover the secrets of saving in the tougher areas of the country.
