Skewers, Rice & Brocooli

I'm not typing these recipes out, although they are both in my OBB cookbook. They have more info and professional pictures PLUS they get paid and I don't. I will probably make this meal again sometime when I have bacon I need to use up. I also want to try the rice the real way sometime. I didn't have crushed pineapple so I tried to get the taste by taking the pineapple juice from my 20oz can (also bigger than skewer recipe calls for but it helped stretch it further and gave me the bacon free option) and using that as part of the water I cooked the rice in. Wasn't very good rice. I would have preferred plain. But I still feel like I need to try it again just to know. If and when I do I will remove this/put an update if the feelings change. I also made the marinade with out the ground ginger and it was still good.

Last night we had Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers with steamed broccoli and Lime-Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

 Mommy and Baby G had the bacon free version. 




I put a radish on Baby G's skewer to protect him. He kept poking it into his adorable fat thighs. But then he became curious about that and kept taking it off and trying to eat it. He didn't think it was spicy hot so we're just glad he tried radishes for about the 3rd time. We hope he likes lots of different foods/flavors. 

The many bacon wrapped kind. My hubby loved the 2nd batch we had was actually down in the marinade for hours. The ones we cooked first were just on top and only had the marinade drizzled over them  so the flavor wasn't soaked up and as delightfully strong. This batch got an "oh yeah!" out of my man. 



The first six we cooked got a little burnt so we had to cook more.
