Kabobs with Thai Sunbutter Sauce

Who doesn't love kabobs?? I know my kids sure do. Must be the small chunks of meat or maybe that it's on a skewer (read: sword for young boys!) ... I don't know why but when we do kabobs, they disappear.

Have I told you how much I hate to cut up raw meat? I do! Particularly chicken. I can chop veggies until the day is done but meat. Yuck! And don't get me started on mixing meatloaf with my hands. EW!

Luckily, I have a sous chef (er, husband) who enjoys the chopping of raw meat to help. Otherwise, I just end up paying more at the store for premium cuts or ask for the butcher to do it for me. Lazy? Nah ... Just efficient!

So, I digress... as usual

Grain-free Waffles

My Grandma had the BEST recipe for waffles. They were amazing!! When I was about 12-14 years old or so, I found the recipe in my mom's recipe box, I dug out this ancient-looking waffle iron (which, now I refer to as "vintage") and tried whipping up a batch. My brother was my taste-tester at time and just fell in love.

These waffles became my signature item for years to come. (Thanks Grandma!) They were SO GOOD that they didn't even need syrup. Nope ... just butter!
