Skewers are a great way to control your food intake.
I do find them a little time consuming to prepare and at times I think to take the easy way out and cook the meat off the skewer.
Meat on skewers make a lovely presentation on a plate and when you are entertaining this is a much easier way to control portions.
RECIPE: Easy to follow. I marinated for only half an hour and they were delicious. I chose to BBQ which captured not only a great taste of herbs and spices but it gave them a smokey aroma that was to die for!
The cauliflower couscous was delicious! Who would have thought that cauliflower and cranberries would work so well.
For my vegetarian friends, this one is defiantly for you. So easy and simple and it won’t disappoint you.
Eat it or Starve!?? A definite munch munch!
