Kabobs are such a fun way to serve food. For meat kabobs cooked on the grill, a good marinade is very important. It will give flavor to the kabob, and take it from ordinary to extraordinary!
We do a lot with kabobs, as they are fun for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I use bamboo or metal, just depending on which is more convenient. The metal skewers I use are these. They come 12 to the pack, and work great on the grill. For bamboo skewers, consider something like this. They cost only pennies apiece.
Summer is a great time to grill, and kabobs can make a little meat go a long way, they offer a great option for using up the odds and ends veggies in the fridge, it also makes summer eating easier because it is already cut into bite sized chunks, so moms don’t have to spend the whole meal cutting kid’s food, etc.
