We are officially at back-to-school week!  Soccer started last night, practice again Tues/Thurs, school starts Weds, soccer game Saturday, gymnastics starts Monday.  My husband is coaching soccer and life is promising to be busier than ever this fall.  Busy Back to school days could use some shortcuts on time without sacrificing flavor in your meals. They can even be fun, international dishes with minimal fuss and minimal dishes that can be a hearty lunch for school or work or even a super quick prep dinner for the family. This Thai Peanut Chicken Skewers recipe is brought to you by our friends at Minute® Ready to Serve Rice– the perfect pairing with the skewers!
