Shush Kabobs – sweet glazed apple meatballs
I cook a big variety chicken and turkey dishes.These meatballs are definitely family favorites.For some reason my kids don’t eat much meat unless I serve it in a unique way.Sometimes I have to be creative with how I put the meat in front them… .
I found this excellent idea and recipe in Parents Magazine. I have been making this meatball recipe ever since we tried it. Serve it on the stick made the trick. They love it!
Give it a try if you have picky eaters…as you see my little boy couldn’t wait to have a bite..:-)
