16 Super Simple Marinades That Will Up Your Dinner Game! I love a quick meal – it’s one of the reasons I love my crock-pot so much. I know a crock-pot meal takes all day – but, it’s quick for me, I can just set it and forget it!

I love marinades for the same reason – I can add a marinade to a meat and make it taste great without trying to find the right herb and spice combination to make it taste great! I just throw it in the marinade the night before or the morning of and it’s ready to cook by dinner time!

I also love with a marinade I can change the “course” of the meal or make it more festive! lol I can add a spicy marinade to chicken and make it into chicken fajitas or add an different marinade to that same chicken and turn it into an Italian dish! You get the picture, you can take any meat and meal from plain to tasty by adding the right marinade!
