Go beyond soy sauce this summer with these deliciously easy marinade recipes!
Would you believe that I used to be a vegetarian? It’s true, although you’d never guess it from all the meat recipes here! I didn’t eat meat for a while in middle school, and then in my early twenties I went through phases of eating no meat, only fish, or no red meat. When I got pregnant with my oldest, it was all over. I went to Vegas with my mom in my second trimester, and I was dying for a sausage biscuit. I got one. It was wonderful. I ate steak for dinner probably the same night and never looked back.
When I didn’t eat meat, it was out of guilt and never because I didn’t like it. My mom always tells the story of the first time I tasted steak when I was little. She says my face lit up like it was the best thing I ever tasted. I’m still that way! Steak, chicken, fish. You name it, I love it. That’s why I’m super excited about making my way through this list of amazing marinade recipes! Whether you grill, use a skillet, or bake your choice of meat, I’m sure you are going to love the flavor these marinades bring!
