* Review: During busy weeks when cooking seems too big of a chore, I've learned to fall back on easy meal-makers like McCormick's Bag'nSeason mixes. But when even the mixes seem too familiar to family members, what's a tired chef to do? Fortunately, McCormick offers a Web site with additional recipes. We've long appreciated the Bag'nSeason Pork Chops blend. And I liked it even more recently when I was able to use the same mix -- augmented with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar and onion -- to create Pulled Pork Barbecue. The meat was tender and the sauce appropriately sweet and tangy. I plan to return to www.mccormick.com for more ideas.
