My kids LOV kabobs. I was given a very simple marinade recipe for a wedding shower gift and I use it on the chicken and them brushit on the veggies while we grill. My kids have always gobbled them up so I have invested in a heavy duty set of skewers for it. Meanwhile, take those bamboo skewers and do just fruit on them. The kids will love them. They work great for a picnic and everyone thinks you are so fancy just because you stuck something on a stick! Go figure…
Marinade recipe:
equal parts of soy sauce, italian dressing and worsteshire sauce (you can make as much or little as you want) marinade anything with it!!!
Yummmm Staci! We need to try that!
I make kabobs alot during the summer fast and easy meals especially after busch gardens.
But never tried this one will try this weekend thanks.
