This is super simple. First, if you're using wood skewers, start soaking them in water they need 15-20 minutes. Next, Cube chicken/beef/tofu and your family's favorite vegetables. Toss meat in one bag and veggies in another, add a tablespoon of olive oil and salt & pepper plus your favorite seasonings. Preheat oven to 450 degrees or fire up the grill. If age appropriate, get the kiddos in on the skewering fun!
If baking: Bake beef 10 minutes for medium, chicken & tofu 20 minutes. Also try my favorite (it can be a little too spicy for kiddos), Jerk-chicken and pineapple kabobs!
