Here's a cute one from Rosemary Zwick:

My husband and I had made some huge changes in our lives. He had been on
a strict diet and exercise regimen and had recently lost 50 pounds. And
after being a homemaker our entire marriage, I had just gotten a job in
a local restaurant. I returned home from work after my first morning
shift and gave my husband a great big hug. For some reason, he seemed to
cling to me much longer than usual. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Did you miss me that much?"

"No, not really," he replied, still holding me close, "but you smell so much like pancakes I just hate to let you go!"

These unusual kebabs feature a combination of sweet and savory flavors to please everyone at the breakfast table.

Breakfast Kebabs

4-6 small new potatoes, unpeeled, halved
About 3/4 lb (340 g) cooked smoked sausage such as kielbasa, cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces
1 green or red bell pepper (capsicum), cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces
4-6 mushrooms
4-6 cherry tomatoes
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces

For the sauce:
1/4 cup (60 ml) ketchup
2 Tbs (30 ml) dry red wine or water
1 Tbs (15 ml) soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs (15 ml) Dijon mustard
1 Tbs (15 ml) honey
Hot sauce to taste (optional)

Boil the potatoes in salted water until almost tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain and let cool enough to handle. Alternate the potatoes and
remaining ingredients on skewers. Stir the ingredients for the sauce
together in a bowl and brush over the skewers. Grill the skewers over
hot coals or cook under a preheated broiler, turning and brushing with
the remaining sauce several times, until the vegetables are browned
around the edges and the sausage is heated through, about 15 minutes.
Serves 4 to 6.
