1. Peanut Butter Chicken Skewers w/ Yogurt Dill Sauce

My kids are finicky when it comes to chicken. (In their defense, my chicken cooking skills are barely at a novice level.) But I have a feeling peanut butter chicken would go over well with them, especially if it was topped with a yogurt sauce. These can be made on the stove, and take less than 30 minutes to cook. Sounds like a win-win all the way around!

2. Loaded Tater Tot Skewers

This recipe is seriously so easy. All you need is an oven and a few ingredients. After cooking your tater tots, sprinkle on the remaining ingredients (including bacon- mmm!) and put back in the oven for 10 minutes. These are great for serving at a Super Bowl party or other sporting event celebration.

Head over to Made With Happy, where you’ll find this recipe, as well as others, to try for social gatherings.

3. Grilled Mushroom & Sirloin Skewers

If you’re a plan ahead mama who preps meals in advance, this recipe should be added to your list of ones to try. After creating a marinade and letting the meat refrigerate for several hours, fire up the grill to cook these. Other than the seasoning ingredients, all that’s required are mushrooms and cubed lean sirloin.

4. Beer & Ranch Chicken And Potato Kabobs

If ever there was a chance for your older children to try alcohol, it’s now. Because really, the amount used here isn’t enough to do anything, but they’ll still feel cool knowing they tried it. (Now, I’m not suggesting you serve alcohol to your children. I’m just saying you could probably get them to try this recipe easier if you told them it was made with beer.) This is a time-consuming recipe, so it would work best when you’re not in a rush.

5. Easy Pesto Tortellini Skewers

Unlike most skewer recipes, this one doesn’t require grilling at all! The only thing you need to cook is the tortellini, but then you put the skewers together and serve cold. With a pesto coating and sun dried tomatoes, this is an Italian-inspired recipe that could work as an entree or an appetizer.
