They can add great flavor to anything you are cooking and make even your most regular meal seem extraordinary. Bon Appetit has put together 31 recipes for different rubs, brines and marinades that you can try. Check it out!

Bon Appetit has put together 28 fantastic sandwich ideas for you to bust out when you want something different. Check it out!
