Greek Chicken Skewers

Well she did it.  Courtney scored three goals for her varsity soccer team last week. (Maybe you heard the excessive cheering coming from our house.)

Proud momma moments watching this girl do her thing on the soccer field.  

Last week we had 3 soccer games and 3 baseball games in 4 days - needless to say, we only ate dinner at home 1 night all week.  We had dinner at the field most days which sounds like a complaint but to be perfectly honest - I am sad that their seasons are over.  I am going to miss cheering on my favorite teams but I'm not going to miss packing our dinner every night.



I packed these Greek Chicken skewers along with some orzo salad to take to one of the soccer games last week.  In case you missed the orzo salad recipe that I posted on the blog yesterday, you need to check it out.  It is amazing.

The perfect compliment to the orzo salad - Greek Chicken Skewers from Taste of Home magazine.  These are super easy and really yummy.  As an added bonus - they make great picnic food for the ballpark too.
