Summer has come to a close. Tomorrow the world will change and start spinning in the opposite direction, replacing long days at home with little directing our path with long days of school and structure.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">Labor Day doesn&#8217;t mean the end of grilling season for my husband. In reality, I think sometimes we may even grill more once school is in session because of the ease of use factor. Meals done in minutes, and there&#8217;s always so little clean-up involved. (Read: No washing pots and pans.)<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">The only tools here are a small bowl for the sauce and a cutting board for chopping. It&#8217;s five minutes of prep, 10-12 minutes of grilling, and the food is on the table. This is the perfect answer to the crazy back-to-school days or an impromptu last-day-of-summer-vacation meal.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">Shish kebabs were one of my favorite meals when I was growing up. Everything is better with a stick shoved through it. It&#8217;s like serving toothpicks with lunch to a kid. Fun, easy, endlessly entertaining.
