Shish Kabob Ingredients
2 lbs beef, lamb, chicken cut into 1 and a half inch cubes
1/2 lb of Baby Bella or white button mushrooms
1 large or 2 smaller sweet red onions or Vidalia onions quartered
1 medium zucchini or summer squash or both cut into thick slices and sliced down the middle
1 fresh pineapple cut into thick slices
1 each green, yellow and red peppers, quartered and cut into 1″ slices

Marinade
1 cup tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
3 Tbsp of honey
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
2-4 cloves of garlic, crushed and minced
1 thumb freshly grated ginger root
a couple shots of Tabasco sauce, Sriracha, pinch of cayenne, OR hot pepper flakes

Directions
Mix up marinade in large glass bowl or glass baking dish. Cut up meat and veggies and place all EXCEPT THE PINEAPPLE in marinade. (don’t put pineapple in with meat and veggies, it turns the meat into slimy mush-ugh!)

Marinate 1-4 hours or overnight. Thread meat onto skewers and thread veggies and pineapple onto separae skewers. This prevents veggies from getting overcooked while meat is cooking. On a grill over medium high heat, grill skewers, turning carefully until evenly browned and meat is cooked through-or at least pink if beef. Delicious served with browned garlic and quinoa.
