Easy Marinades for the Lazy Cook

I really didn’t intend on this blog being all about food, but now here it is day 2 and I’m yapping about what I’m going to eat again.  Well, I looked at my weekly menu from yesterday and saw that I was to have Marinated Grilled Pork Chops tonight.  When I went to the pantry to see if I had one of those 20 minute marinade (ie Lawry’s, McCormicks, Mrs. Dash) I came up empty.  So I had to do one of my least favorite things–go to the grocery store.  After plopping down $2.50 for a bottle of Mrs. Dash’s Zest Garlic Herb marinade it hit me that it would be much more cost effective to make my own marinades from scratch.  I’m pretty sure it would be a lot more healthy as well. 

Off to the internet I went to look for some good homemade marinade recipes.  Here is what I came up with:

A Marinade to Die For  This one has steak sauce, lemon-lime soda, brown sugar, butter and a few other ingredients you most likely have around the house.

The Perfect Marinade Italian dressing is the main component of this one, but it also contains soy sauce, lemon juice and few other ingredients.

Amazing Chicken Marinade This one is mainly for chicken, but does indeed sound amazingly good.

Spiced Herb Marinade for Fish I’m always looking for a new way to cook my fish, so I’ll definitely be trying this one soon.
