Skewers
Creating skewers with meats and fruits or vegetables is a great way to reduce your total meat intake. To make skewers, you can use wooden picks or metal skewers. If you choose wooden picks, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using. They will soak up some of the water and won't burn on the high heat of the grill.
