Kabobs... The PERFECT LDL lunch...



I. LOVE. KABOBS!!!

Aren't they fun to eat?  I don't know why... but a steak and veggies on a stick is WAAAAY more fun to eat than steak and veggies laying on a plate...

But wait... did you think that Kabobs (Kebobs? Kebabs?) were only for meat, chicken or fish and veggies?  NOOO WAY JOSE!!!

Food on a stick IS AN AWESOME way to cure food duldrums.  It's also a wonderful way to get kids to eat foods they normally wouldn't...like fresh veggies or new fruits...




The skewers also don't have to be wooden or metal... you can use anything!  Rosemary stalks, toothpicks, pretzel sticks, bamboo etc...

My favorite way to eat a Kebab is to marinate a lovely meat in some orange juice, soy sauce, honey and salt... and let it get good and soaked up...
Then skewer all the meat together, and skewer all the marinated veggies on another... and BBQ them up...
DIVINE!!!

Dessert can be a bunch of fruit, cut up, and skewered up...
I also love to have a big glass of iced tea with an entire skewer of fruit sitting in the tea in my glass, flavoring my tea and getting all soaked up with tea... YUM!!!


I also LOVE skewered pineapple on the BBQ... no sauce, rubs or sugar needed... it's just luscious all by itself...
And I am not typically a fan of pineapple at all... but on a skewer and BBQ'd? I am a fan!


Love seafood?  Do up an entire skewer of salmon chunks, or shrimp, or scallops and eat to your hearts content for lunch!  It's like having a treat... on a stick...

I love to BBQ Apples and Onions on a skewer... and brush with orange juice and Olive oil....
Sooo yummy!

It's summer... go stick a stick into something and cook it over a fire...
You'll be glad you did!!!
