Grilled Kabobs

Spring is finally here! For us that means a lot more cooking on the grill. Today's post is not so much a recipe as it is a suggestion. How about Kabobs for dinner tonight? We love Kabobs, they're so versatile. Just gather together some of your favorite low carb veggies and what ever meat and/or seafoods you're in the mood for and skewer them up and you have a complete dinner on a stick!

My better half likes kabobs best with when we use beef, pork and chicken. Yep, all three. And he likes each type of meat to be marinated in a different flavor marinade.

So, I marinated the chicken in italian dressing (generic 1.5 carbs per 2 TBSP), the pork in Kikkoman Teriyaki (2 carbs per TBSP) and the beef in Allegro Original Marinade (1 carb per TBSP).

If you are using wooden skewers, now would be a good time to get them soaking in water, this keeps them from catching on fire while your're cooking.

Next I gathered together some of our favorite veggies. We had yellow and orange bell peppers, zucchini squash, mushrooms, grape tomatoes and  red onions.


Wash the veggies and cut them into sizes that will pair with the size of your meat pieces - usually slightly larger than bite sized.





Skewer the meats or seafood alternating with a veggie or two in between each piece.


Grill until desired doneness.


Enjoy!
