Give dinner a rub with some tangy spices, savory herbs or a combination of both.
Rubs are great - they can add flavor to everything from fish to chicken to steak.
Even hamburgers can benefit with a rub before grilling. Rubs can be applied just before cooking so advance planning isn't necessary. They aren't messy like liquid marinades and, in their simplest form, can be composed of a single ingredient. With so many spice blends readily available at the grocery store, even complex seasonings are just a jar away. A word of caution - don't get rubbed the wrong way.
