Marinade.

Is this really going to be a recipe? Not exactly. As a first post, I thought this would be a great way to open up. Marinades are wonderful. They help deepen the flavor of your food and help to get meats tender. I talk to many people who have issues with cooking and dieting. Too often it comes down to needing variety. Marinades provide a great way to add variety, tenderize, and certain marinades may even help prevent the possible carcinogenic effects of cooking meat (look up ‘heterocyclic amines’).

Anyway, use this as a base. I just want to explain an easy, generic marinade, and how to put it together with seasonings for chicken, pork, or beef. It is simple, takes just moments, and can be varied widely. The only thing even simpler is just using ready-made italian dressing (which is, by the way, a perfectly viable marinade). Enjoy!
