    Yoli B said:  This is pretty simple and a winner in my constant dinner wars! I simply combine the ingredients, form the skewers and line them up in my trusty foil trays. Then freeze them until you need them! The recipe calls for the kabobs to be grilled outdoors, but the oven works! A quick tomato salad will round it out when they are all done.
