American Shish Kabobs

here's what we are having tonight:

Shish Kabob

marinade:
some olive oil
1/2 c chicken broth
1/2 c red wine or maybe cooking sherry
some lemon juice
some garlic
little salt
some rosemary
some pepper

we are marinading chicken and steak ( i just bought some steak i don't really know how b/c i don't buy it very often)
i think you have to soak the skewers in water first, so do that. then thread the meat on. we are also threading on quatered onions, mushrooms (maybe you'd like them i f they were grilled!), green bell peppers, tomatoes, and one granny smith apple(i've never tried this before but it sounds really good)

actually i've never tried this entire recipe before and i am kinda making it up but i think it sounds like it has a lot of potential. it's pretty easy, you get your protein and your vegetable all in "one fell swoop". i am making red lobster biscuits to go with it too.

i googled shish kabobs and actually didn't come up with a lot of good recipes. maybe i'll keep looking. i'll let you know how this meal turns out.

this marinade wasn't that great. the chicken took the flavor pretty well, but the meat didn't hold any flavor. i guess i chose a bad cut of meat too b/c it was so tough i could have scrubbed the bathroom tub with it. even so, the chicken didn't even taste that great. oh well.
