Grilled Tropical Sausage and Pineapple Skewers

The next time you are at a party or a get together that includes food, keep an eye on the appetizer table. You will notice that the platters with assembled appetizers will go first.

Anything on a toothpick or dip that is already on the cracker will fly off the tray. Appetizers on the bottom of a crock pot will sit and overcook. It’s a cold hard fact, my friends.

Our recipe for Grilled Tropical Sausage and Pineapple skewers will make you a hero. As you are keeping that eye on the appetizer table, you will see that your sausage pineapple skewers are disappearing fast.

People want things simple at the appetizer station.  Over the years, we’ve become the kings of toothpicks. We’ve learned that most things can be layered on skewers or added to a cracker to make an excellent presentation and to make it more enjoyable for the guests. 

As time goes on, www.dougbakes.com will present some fantastic appetizers and most of them, I warn you, will be on a skewer. Grab some toothpicks and let’s have some fun!
