  • Chicken on a stick (with peanut dipping sauce)

    This adaptation of Indonesian chicken satay is very quick to cook, and absolutely delectable. The peanut sauce should be served on the side since some people (I'm not mentioning any names here) may prefer ketchup. To each his own.

  • Cinnamon glazed fruit skewers

    This is a perfect, practically no-work dessert for a barbecue dinner. Serve with or without ice cream. And if you have a little one who doesn't want her fruit grilled (Ewww, Mom - it's warm!), this is just as good plain too.

    A high-sugar basting sauce like honey mustard burns easily on the grill. Here's a novel solution that eliminates unwanted charring, but keeps kids' taste buds happy.

  • Halfway decent hot dog kebabs

    OK, just for the sake of peaceful coexistence, let's pretend that hot dogs are simply another type of meat. Like chicken, for instance. Only different. So why not turn them into kebabs?

  • Souvlaki

    This is basically a shish kebab without the, you know, pesky parts - the onion, green pepper, mushroom - the stuff a kid picks off the skewer and feeds to the dog. You can make souvlaki with boneless lamb, pork, beef, chicken or even turkey thighs.

  • Pork Souvlaki

    Although it's traditional to cook pork until well done, this isn't necessary. As long as the insides have reached about 160F (70C) on a meat thermometer, it's safe to eat (and stays juicy too!).

    I'm surprised you would put so many pointy sticks infront of your kids. I would probably remove the skeweres first
