Kabobin'

This last weekend was my 10-year high school reunion. Yikes. I feel old. But it was nice to see some folks from high school days.

On another note: I made kabobs!
My husband has a hard time liking squash in any form. I've been trying a few different things. The garden was putting out plenty, so I needed something to give. Also, I wanted to make kabobs, I never have. That's right, never. I had always thought they were too much trouble. Now it was time.
I had read once that you need to soak your sticks (if using wood) before you grill them so they don't burn up. I soaked mine for about 30 hours. Then I marinated some steak chunks. (I didn't plan ahead well enough here, I should've prepped the meat yesterday) I used the marinating attachment for my foodsaver, it saved my bacon. I cut the meat into chunks first (so more surface area for marinade) then let it do the rest. While waiting, I cleaned and cut my squash and onions.

After I put it all together!




They cooked up really well.... 
(I also brushed them with some reserved marinade while grilling).






Aren't they beautiful?

I'll definitely be doing this again. Oh yeah, and they were delicious! Blake even said he liked the squash!  :D


Happy Sunday, and first week of August!
