There is nothing like a flavorful marinade to help boost the flavor of your favorite meats and vegetables.

Whether you're grilling a steak, chicken, fish, pork or your favorite vegetables you can't miss with any one of these easy recipes. Enjoy any of these Indian or Asian marinade recipes.

All you have to do is add one pound of your favorite meat (poultry, fish, pork) to any of these recipes. Let the meat marinate at least 4 hours (overnight is better) then broil or grill, until done, basting occasionally with the leftover marinade. These also work well when you're grilling vegetables.

Greek Potatoes and Green Beans
Another winning recipe from www.all-creatures.org. Keeping in the Greek tradition the green beans are cooked with tomatoe and potatoes. According to my Greek friend Karen this is the way her mother would present this dish, but she says that she would consider adding some garlic and oregano to jazz it up a bit.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Last Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked, at the tender age of 48. I'd always had a parent's house to go to, or a friends house, or had gone to a restaurant/buffet for Thanksgiving with friends. I am now married and between my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself we decided that I'd be responsible for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily there are only eight of us.
