Blue Monday: Kabobs

Homegrown Basil and Flowers

Do you have herbs in your garden?

Marinade in olive oil, vinegar, oregano, basil and garlic

A few tips that I recommend are soaking skewers in water before threading to prevent them from catching on fire. Turn frequently. Be sure and thread the shrimp through both ends to prevent spinning or falling off and while you’re at it, don’t forget to spray the grill with a nonstick cooking spray.

A Hawaiian sesame sauce for dipping is yummy. Maybe try adding some lime, fresh herbs and Cajun seasoning as well. For more information from the article, visit Krazy for Kabobs

Charcoal Barbecue

An outdoor barbecue is our way for my grown kids and grandkids to thank their Dad/Grandpa. What a fun way for children to eat zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms with rice and maybe some coleslaw. I love shrimp, too. I've made fruit dessert kabobs, sprinkled in coconut flakes, too.

Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs

Food just has a way of bringing people together! Hope your weekend was great, too! Ever wondered what crafts you can make from bamboo skewers? See Feels Like Home blog

Card Deck of Recipes

I have these recipe cards and my "chef grandson" loves to use them and prepare great snacks!
I wrote a little review about them at Kids-Kitchen. Although this item is not a book, it's my entry this week for Book Sharing Monday

"Kids' Kitchen" is designed to encourage children to cook delicious and nutritious recipes for their friends and family. The 40 recipes are displayed on laminated recipe cards stored in a sturdy box.

Each is color-coded to reflect government guidelines on healthy eating (the Eatwell Plate) promoting a balanced intake of Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, Oils, Milk, Meat and Beans. The 5 colors correspond to these 5 food categories. Tips on how to combine the recipes are also provided in this title.

It features a unique cookery deck that encourages children to prepare fun, tasty and healthy meals and introduces them to recipes from around the world. Recipes are divided into the five main food categories. This title includes 8-page booklet that contains information on the benefits of each food type, practical advice on hygiene and safety and a glossary of cookery terms.

Author Fiona Bird is a Masterchef and the founder of 'Stirrin' Stuff', a charity dedicated to teaching cookery skills and an understanding of nutrition to primary school children. Fiona Bird is mother of six children and winner of Scottish Masterchef 2001. Inspired by her success, and encouraged by Scottish chef Nick Nairn, Fiona set up Stirrin' Stuff, a charity which promotes healthy eating in schools and nursery schools and encourages children to look after the environment at the same time. Fiona is an active campaigner, writing regularly for Green Parent, Organiclife and Tastes of Britain. She is a member of the Guild of Food Writers and also develops recipes for Tern TV.

Kitchen Recipe Card Deck

I love to look at everyone's crafts this time of year and especially anything that has to do with food. The possibilities seem endless from black drinks, such as dark coffee, placed in a glass with an orange sugar trim on the rim... to monster cookies!

Well, Barefoot Books offers recipe cards for children who love to be in the kitchen! The creator of Kids Kitchen has offered some spooky recipes for your Halloween party... what fun!

Icy Hand Snatchers

Make these spooky frozen popsicles for a cool treat on Halloween night.

Quantity: Makes 4 icy hands

What you’ll need:

4 plastic gloves (food prep/surgical gloves)
Twist ties
3 cups (800ml) dark red berry juice

What to do:

1. Ask a friend to hold the surgical glove open; it is best to do this over the sink, in case of spills. Carefully pour 3/4 of a cup of juice into each glove. Make sure that you fill the fingers and thumb but don’t overfill because the juice will expand when frozen. Push as much air out as you can and use the twist tie to tie the gloves up, leaving 1 inch of unfilled hand.
2. Freeze gloves flat in a freezer-proof container with a weight (ice pack) to flatten the bulges (about 2 hours). Put the frozen hands under a tap and very carefully remove the hands from the gloves. Do not hurry (scissors are useful). If you try to do it too quickly you may break the fingers. (Don’t worry if you do break one finger, it will add to the scary Halloween party and make a delicious cook’s snack.)
3. Put the hands on a tray and return to the freezer until it is party time.
4. Wrap the hands in red napkins and hand them to friends.

Meringue Ghosts

Bake these simple ingredients in the oven and watch as little ghosts magically appear.

Quantity: Makes 9 ghosts

What you’ll need:

3 egg whites
1 ½ cups sugar (175g caster sugar)
18 small silver ball baking decorations
A clean bowl
Electric hand mixer
Parchment paper
Large baking tray
Tablespoon
Oven mitts

What to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C).
2. Cover the baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Carefully separate the eggs. Put the egg whites in a bowl. Make sure that your hands are dry and whisk the egg whites with the electric mixer. Begin at a low speed and gradually increase to a higher speed. Whisk the egg whites until they form mountain peaks.
4. Whisk in the sugar a little at a time, until the mixture is very thick.
5. Spoon the meringue into ghost shapes on the baking tray. Make sure that you leave space between the meringues. Pop 2 silver balls (eyes) on each ghost.
6. Bake the ghosts in the oven for 1 ½ – 2 hours or until the ghosts come away from the paper.
7. Gently pull the ghosts off the paper and put them on a wire rack to cool.
