Steak+Pineapple+Mushroom Kabobs

Okay, I have to start off with saying that I never really LOVE what I make for dinner. I am just more of a dessert kind of girl. BUT tonight we made some kabobs on the grill and oh my gosh they were so good. I made them a month or so and they were delicious then, but this time they were even better!

Here's how I put them together.

(a few hours in advance) start the STEAK marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon barbeque sauce
garlic powder or garlic salt (if you use the salt, don't use too much. the soy sauce is plenty salty!)
pepper

whisk all the ingredients together. Cut up your steak into the size you prefer for the kabobs and put it all in a zip lock bag. Put that in the fridge until you are ready to assemble (I let them marinade for about 2.5 hours).

While your husband get the grill ready, cut up PINEAPPLE and MUSHROOMS. You can leave the mushrooms whole if you like, mine were just really big. I like to melt butter and coat the mushrooms in the melted butter, salt and pepper.

Load up your kabobs!

Throw them on the grill... they don't take very long.

The combination of the marinade and the pineapple tenderize the meat and make it so juicy and so delicious.

PLEASE try this. I'm begging you.

Chocolate Sheet Cake

Don't make this. You will just eat the whole thing. But oh my gosh... it is seriously delicious. I found the recipe from The Pioneer Woman, The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever. I left out the nuts, but only because I didn't have any. I wish I had went and got some, but it was still so sooo good.

I think I'm going to go eat some now.
