TIP OF THE DAY: How To Make Easy Food On A Stick
You can convert these plain bamboo skewers into delicious hors d’oeuvre and party food. We created the skewer in the photo below just by opening the pantry door and removing jars of artichoke hearts, olives and roasted red peppers.
Skewers typically can be found in different sizes: 4-inch skewers for single bites; 6-inch skewers for a multi-bite hors d’oeuvre or snack; and 10-inch skewers for main course “kebabs.” Just peek into the fridge and you’ll find what you need to assemble healthy skewers. A combination of textures and colors always looks good: |

Some people offer skewers with a dip, for example, with plain chicken; or mustard with ham-and-cheese skewers. If you’re grilling wood skewers, always soak them in water for 20 minutes before assembling and grilling, to avoid charring. Skewers can be washed and re-used.
