Swedish candy – Sockerbit in New York

Swedish Ice Cream – Magnum (buy at Wal-Mart, Walgreens…)

Swedish Coffee – Gevalia (soon in a store near you)

Shish Kabobs and grilling go together like peanut butter and jelly! You just can’t have one without the other.
I like to use both marinated chicken and beef with a variety of vegetables for taste and color. Let’s grill!!

Ingredients:
Makes 10

• 1.5 pound chicken breasts
• 1.5 pound strip steak
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 orange bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 16 oz. fresh mushrooms
• 2-3 tomatoes
• 1 zucchini

Marinade:

• Raspberry vinaigrette
• 2 tsp Cookies® All Purpose Seasoning

Do this:
Cut meat into 2 inch cubes and marinade in vinaigrette and Cookies seasoning overnight in refrigerator. Cut bell peppers, onion and tomatoes in 2-3″ inch wedges and slice zucchini. Clean mushrooms, cut stems and leave whole. Push the meat and vegetables onto metal skewers using 5 pieces of meat per skewer. If using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Place shish kabobs on grill turning often until meat is cooked and browned. Save the marinade and brush it on shish kabobs while they are grilling for more flavor.
I served the shish kabobs with a tossed green salad and scalloped potatoes with cheddar cheese.
