Premarinated meats and poultry offer a speedy solution for quick weeknight suppers. It's best to mix and match vegetables, such as summer squash, bell pepper, and onion, with similar cook times. If you'd like to add potatoes or carrots, parboil them first, until almost done but still firm. Tightly packed skewers take longer to grill, so leave a small amount of space between each piece to ensure quick, even cooking.
