Everyone enjoys a good rub! And I don’t mean the massage kind, although they are nice too. I am a fairly good cook and am always ready and willing to learn an easier way to prepare food. So when my son-in-law introduced me to rubs a few years ago, I became more willing to try something new, at least new for me.

Rubs have been around in cooking for centuries. Grill rubs are a blend of spices and herbs that are used to inject different flavors into meat before it is placed on the grill. You can purchase rubs at the grocery store or make your own using your favorite herbs and spices from your garden or cupboard.
