Here's a quick and easy marinade for kebabs. You can use pork or chicken tenderloins. You can put whatever else you like in your kebabs. We like red, orange and yellow peppers, but you could use green peppers, onions, pineapple... You don't have to let it marinade for very long. The time it would take you to prep the other ingredients is sufficient. 1/4 Cup Honey 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce 1/2 Tsp Parlic Powder 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger 1/2 Tsp Ground Mustard This is good for 1-2 lbs of meat. Cut your meat into desired chunks and mix the chunks in the marinade.  Put on a skewer as desired, grill on the grill. Serve with rice!

Chicken on a Stick Here is a little recipe for a  kebab -style chicken.  I first made this in May of 2004- 10 years ago!  I remember making it for guests, and it being well received.  My husband liked it too. Marinade: 2 Tbs Canola Oil 2 Tbs Lemon Juice (or Juice of one lemon) 2 Tbs Soy Sauce 4 Garlic Cloves, minced 2 Teaspoons Honey 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin 1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger 1 Pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut in strips or Chicken Tenderloins Marinate chicken 3-4 hours.  Put the chicken on a skewer, either with vegetables or without, and grill until done. Note-  I made this without the coriander because I  didn't  have any and it was still good.  So, if you don’t have any of that, don’t worry.  You could probably use orange juice or lime juice of you didn't have lemon juice.  Just “eyeball” the ingredients.   

Memorial Day Grilling! We got a new grill!   Our old one had paid its dues and had worked quite hard for me since 2003…   This one has a side burner and a rack, which is cool. Aside from the frozen hamburgers we can throw on the grill at a whim, (we found our favorite at GFS) we can also grill veggies and toast the buns AND cook up the rice on the burner! One of my favorite things to do on the grill is to make kabobs!   So, here is my recipe for a marinade.   You can use pork medallions or chicken.   I use red, yellow, orange, green peppers, onions, tomatoes on the skewer as well.   Whatever you’ve got or whatever you like.   ¼ C Honey ¼ C Brown Sugar ¼ C Soy Sauce ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground mustard Marinate meat in the mixture, then put on skewers, alternating the meat and veggies as you please.   (You may want to brush the veggies with some oil.) Grill, serve with rice!
