Tryazon Super Mario Bros Power Up Card Game by USAopoly


When I saw that there was a new card game, inspired by Super Mario Bros, I knew we needed to try it out, and invite some of our Mario-loving, Game-loving friends over! They already have several Mario themed card games and board games, but this was a new one to all of us.

At first, the game seemed a little confusing, and a little slow, but as the game went on, and each player received more power cards (and fewer lives), it definitely got more interesting! It is a fast moving game, which is nice for a card game, in case you only have a limited time to play, or want to play multiple games in a night.

We will be giving a copy of this game to Gamer friends of our for their wedding, and I think it would also make a great Christmas or Birthday gift for any Mario lover in your life.

Tryazon Save The Day Seasoning Party

We got to try out some #SaveTheDaySeasonings thanks to #Tryazon!

This was a Featured Party opportunity from Tryazon. There were 249 similar parties taking place this weekend within the US. Tryazon is a service dedicated to getting innovative products into people’s hands and mouths, in fun settings like this. They offer excellent product samples and savings for all who participate.

Save the Day Seasonings started simply - with a problem, and then a solution.
Adrian Alvi, AKA “the cook of the house”, would come home after working his corporate job, tired, but still needing to plan and prepare dinner for his family.
“What’s for dinner” is not the first thing one wants to hear after a long day’s work, especially when you have no ideas.
Then a new concept came to him: seasoning blends that would work on any food you had on hand; meats, veggies, beans & rice, leftovers or whatever.
These seasonings would be “complete” seasonings where no other flavors, not even salt, would be needed. Being a lifelong student of foods and flavors, he knew that if he could get what was in his head into a jar, it just might make life
easier.
And so, Save the Day Seasonings was born!
Since then, Save the Day Seasonings has grown to include 18 unique seasoning blends including: ethnic blends, spicy blends, and their own unique creations.



In their promotional video, parents who use the seasonings talk about the Alvi's Incredible seasoning... put it in a shaker bottle and let the kids season their meat and veggies, eggs, etc, to get them to eat their food! I may try that. We will call it "magic sprinkles" LOL

Here are some of the ways we tried out the seasonings

Used the Chinese spice to make squash fries, and one of the spicy mixes to make spicy mayo. Yummy!
























Used Jamaican spice to make rice and beans. The idea of these spices is that they save you money since you can add them to whatever you have on hand. This recipe really did "save the day" because it was one of those days where I really did not want to cook, and hadn't thawed any meat. And Charlie was going to be home for dinner in like 20 minutes. Success!


Made pork roast in the slow cooker-- just rubbed on some of the Strong Arm seasoning, seared it, and threw it in the slow cooker to cook all day-- it was some of the best pork I've ever eaten! And so easy!


Used Alvi's Incredible seasoning to make roast potatoes


And mexican seasoning + ground pork = taco meat! ( i forgot to get a picture of this one, but here's the box of taco shells)


We took 3 different seasonings and made dips for chips, pretzels, and raw veggies (The Real Dill, Alvi's Incredible, and Alvi's Inferno with Ghost Pepper!)
We put out all the other seasonings to add to:

Popcorn
Cooked Veggies
Plain Pasta
and
Plain cream sauce for the pasta


It was fun, quick, and easy, and everyone got to customize their food. I would highly recommend these seasoning blends!
