Note from Stacie:  This month, I’ve added several contributors to the line-up here at Motherhood on a Dime.  They will be able to offer you a wide variety of recipes, home management helps, and ideas for kids.  I’m still in search of two bloggers to add to my “Living” section, so if you would like to be considered, send me an email at motherhoodonadime at gmail dot com with your blog name, a link to a sample recipe or home management post, and any other info you believe would make you an ideal contributor to Motherhood on a Dime.  Thanks so much!

Can you believe we’re already into June?

With the school year ending and the beginning of summer, life tends to take a much more laid back pace. Daydreams of fun in the sun and lazy days prevail. Today, I have a light and fun breakfast idea that is sure to make the kids (and adults) smile – because you know, everything is better on a stick! With Father’s Day just around the corner, this would also be a great breakfast for Dad! It’s even easy enough for the kids to help with!

Breakfast Kabobs {with dips} & Mini Pancakes
Printable Recipe
Yield: 6 servings

What you’ll need:

• Skewers
• Assorted fruits, cut into bite sized, pieces
• Favorite flavor of yogurt
• Breakfast sausage links
• Ham slices
• ¼ cup BBQ sauce
• ¼ cup raspberry or strawberry preserves
• 2 cups Bisquick
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• Maple syrup

To prepare:

Thread the fruit pieces onto the skewers and set aside. Put yogurt in a bowl for dipping.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F; grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear.) Stir the Bisquick, eggs and milk until well blended. Pour by tablespoonfuls onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Set aside.

Meanwhile, cook the breakfast sausage links and ham slices according to package directions. Cut the sausage links into thirds and the ham slices into bite-sized squares. Thread onto skewers.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and preserves. Microwave on full power for 1 minutes or until heated through. Stir to combine and set aside.

To serve: Place the fruit and meat kabobs skewers and mini pancakes on a serving platter. Serve with yogurt dip for the fruit kabobs, BBQ/preserve sauce for the meat kabobs and maple syrup for the mini pancakes.

I hope you enjoy!
