Hey Mommas!

If your evenings are anything like mine (when my hubs travels), you’re probably juggling school work, after-school activities, and endless to-do lists. Finding time to whip up a healthy dinner can feel impossible. Leaving you emotionally distressed you end up driving through the fast food line.

That’s why I’m pumped to share one of my weeknight lifesavers: Teriyaki Beef Skewers. They’re quick, simple, and always a hit with the family!

Imagine this: it’s a busy weeknight, and you need something easy yet tasty. Enter teriyaki beef skewers. Not only are they super easy to make, high in protein, but the kids love them too—there’s something about food on a stick that’s just fun.

One of the things I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can use your favorite veggies or even switch out the beef for chicken or tofu if you prefer. Plus, if you add some pineapple chunks, you get this amazing sweet-savory combo that’s absolutely delicious. And if you are anything like our household then pairing all meals with fruit is a must with the kids.

A little tip to make your evenings less hectic: prep everything ahead of time. Cut up the veggies and marinate the beef the night before. When you get home, all you have to do is assemble and cook the skewers. It’s a lifesaver on those especially crazy nights.

And don’t be afraid to get the kids involved. Let them help assemble the skewers—it’s a fun activity and a great way to get them excited about dinner. Plus, they’re more likely to eat their veggies if they’ve helped make them! wink wink.

Another pro tip: make a double batch and freeze half. You’ll thank yourself on those nights when you’re too tired to cook. Just pull them out of the freezer, and you have a quick, delicious meal ready to go.

So, give these Teriyaki Beef Skewers a try and watch your family dig in with delight. They’re easy, tasty, and sure to become a weeknight staple in your home. Let me know how they turn out in the comments below!

Happy cooking, Mommas!

Serve the skewers immediately topped with the green onions, cilantro, chili pepper, sesame seeds and any remaining teriyaki sauce.
