    All the components of pizza...on a stick! These Deconstructed Pizza Kebabs will be your kids' favorite new meal (and they can even help you make it)!
    Pizza Kebabs - all the components of pizza, on a stick! Perfect for kids!

    The State Fair knew long ago what I am just figuring out now: EVERYTHING tastes better on a stick! At last count, the Wisconsin State Fair offered 83 different foods on a stick - everything from apple pie to deep fried stuffing to an 18-inch corn dog.....and so many options in between. Who knew what a huge difference a tiny stick could make?

    I am learning this little by little, and the more I learn, the more I am slowly trying to incorporate more meals on sticks into our rotation. If putting it on a stick is the key to getting my kids to eat it, I'm in!! Which is why, when we were planning a movie night with our next door neighbor recently, my mind jumped right over pizza to pizza kebabs. The only difference? The stick!

    From the moment I suggested it to the moment they sat down to eat it, our kitchen was buzzing with excitement! They wanted to help mix the dough, play with the dough, roll the dough. They went crazy for the chance to make meatballs, and they were beside themselves with delight when I told them it was time to assemble the skewers. I don't know about you, but typically having "help" from kids in the kitchen isn't truly all that helpful. But in this case, it was! Every step of the way was totally kid-friendly, which meant less work for me and more fun for them!

    And the best part? The fact that four kids (ages 2, 4, 6, & 9) ate the entire batch of kebabs! Which is basically like eating an entire pizza, something I had no idea they were capable of! Guess what made it into the dinner rotation? Definitely these guys!! And guess what we'll be doing more of these days and nights leading up to State Fair? Definitely food on sticks!! I'm telling you.....the folks at State Fair are really on to something....!

      dani (Author) November 13, 2012 at 10:46 am Haha, yes brussels spourts aren't the most popular veggie, especially among kids! They are my favorite though, so my husband has finally developed a taste for them! Some other veggies that might be nice on the side of this dish are baked potatoes (not whole I would cut them into bite size pieces and bake them with some yummy spices like curry and garlic powder and maybe some sliced onions ), baked carrots/broccoli, or even a side salad. The dish has such a wide variety of flavors that you can really get away with anything!! Good luck!
