The Handsome Husband received a lovely care package a few days ago from his mother. It was his annual birthday box of meat from Omaha Steaks {insert big happy smile}. Inside the box, among other things, was chicken. And since the weather outside was perfect bbq weather, I grilled up some chicken kabobs. Life is tough I know.
Here is the delicious recipe:
