Kebabs!  Or as my very mature husband likes to say – Keboobs Munchies while the Hubs grilled.  Crumbled pita-chip fragments from the bottom of the bag – love these crunchy little bits. Dinner a-la-Hubs was skewered beef, veggies (onions, bell peppers, tomatoes; 1 C serving veg) and pineapple (0.5 C serving fruit), over couscous.
