Kabob Skewer Rack

September 18, 2015 By denise Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I received a Kabob Skewer Rack fro Cave Tools for my review. All opinions are my own and based on my personal experience.

One of my family’s favorite dishes is Kabobs. You can make Kabobs with any of your favorite veggies, fruit and meats. It is a healthy dish that you can make.

I like chicken and steak Kabobs. You first season and marinate your meat and poultry. You will need to cut your chicken and beef into small squares, it does not have to be perfect. Grab your veggies and cut into squares. I love to use bell peppers, onions and tomatoes, it gives it a colorful mix.

Next you need some skewers, you can use wood or metal ones. If you are using wood ones, soak it for a little while so it is easier for your ingredients to slide on.

There is no right or wrong way to add the veggies and meat. I like to make a pattern and alternate. Just fill it out how you like.

Then throw them on the grill. Let them cook and turn over. You can serve it with rice or salad.

I loved making this dish during the summer for backyard cookouts. It also is easy to prepare.

The skewers that I used are flat stainless steel skewers that are dishwasher safe. They can be used in eight different positions for perfect grilling on each side. They have a slider that can assist on getting the food easily off the skewer. They fit perfect on a small grill also.

Fun with Shaun the Sheep-#Fandango Family! @Fandango #ad

August 24, 2015 By denise Leave a Comment

Shaun the Sheep is a movie about, Shaun a sheep who doesn’t follow the flock – in fact, he leads them into all sorts of scrapes and scraps, turning peace in the valley into mayhem in the meadow. Shaun and his pals run rings around their poor sheepdog Bitzer, as he tries to stop the Farmer finding out what’s going on behind his back. Every day brings a new adventure for Shaun.

The cuddly-looking Shaun surfaced for the first time in Aardman Studio’s award winning short film A Close Shave(1995), when he literally fell off a truck, and wandered into Wallace and Gromit’s home. Shaun is a clever little sheep with a penchant for wandering into adventure, and a television series of his own, making him a very familiar and beloved onscreen character. Since then he has been a favorite of my family. We were happy to see more of Shaun and this movie.

Boasting physical comedy that stop-motion seems to have to a tee, Shaun realizes that even though his life on the farm follows a routine, you won’t realize how much appreciate the simple life out in the country until you end up in a polar location aka the city. What this film brings is fun for all ages along with some subtle pop culture references for the adults to enjoy along with the simple humor for all ages. But if there is one thing we can’t undermine about this movie is it’s heart. No real words are spoken beyond the songs that play through certain scenes and yet you feel a human connection through animals.

The chemistry between the sheep and the dog that herds them is so natural and refreshing to see in a film because they aren’t enemies, but they aren’t always buddies, so what they become is something in between which I’d compare to mutual work friends that can work together if it means the best outcomes for the team and that’s worth taking in if you have little kids to see this with.

Funny and full of genuine heart and is definitely an A in my book. Shaun the Sheep is riddled with funny and quirky characters that fulfill the standards for physical humor while being created through the art of stop-motion animation. I encourage you all to see it no matter what age group, but if you have kids, it’s definitely worth the admission.

The Fandango Family has put together some awesome activities that I want to share with you, and help make your experience of the movie even more.
