Easy. Check. Lots of Flavor. Check. Kid-Friendly. Check. This might be one for the dinner rotation.

To make food kid-friendly, I like using skewers instead of utensils. Somehow, it gets even the pickiest child to eat their dinner. This recipe is a go-to in my house because it’s picky-kid friendly, there’s little clean-up for mom, and it’s still gourmet enough for discerning tastes.
