Fruit and Veggie Kabobs

Since I have all of these fruits and vegetables from the food co-op:

I have been trying to plan my dinners around what I have.

I saw this recipe and got the idea to do some kabobs.

I used these veggies and fruits:

Green pepper, mushrooms, orange pepper, mango, purple onion and pineapple.

Marinade:
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

1/4 c. pineapple juice
2 Tbl. Brown Sugar (a little more if you want it sweeter)

2 cloves of garlic

salt and pepper

If you have wood skewers soak them in water first.

Mix this all together and pour over vegetables. Let them marinate for a couple hours.

Put them on skewers and then you can grill them or I broiled them.

I put some foil over a cookie sheet and broiled them for about 10 minutes, turning them every couple minutes.

Serve with rice.

Berry Smoothie

I never measure, so this is my best guess.
7-10 frozen strawberries
1/4 cup frozen raspberries
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 a banana
1 tsp flax seed (optional, but adds omega-3's)
equal parts OJ and skim milk. Maybe start with 1/4 cup each.

I add the OJ and milk just enough to get my blender going. This makes enough for a large smoothie for me and a taste for anyone who is hanging on my legs asking for some.
