This is the first recipe I tried from Sandra Lee. I was a little hesitant about making this meal. I have to say, my ENTIRE family loved it which is amazing! Sandra is obviously a magician!! My husband and I have three daughters with three very different palettes and they all loved the meal. I cheated on the amounts and saved a little extra meat for the round two recipe (to make for dinner for 5 instead of lunch for 2. Everybody loved the pitas as much as they loved the kebabs! BRILLIANT!! I am so tired of wasted food and am thrilled to find Sandra's money saving recipes with the added bonus of being able to turn the leftovers into another meal. I have her bacon and mushroom quiche in the oven right now. Will let you know how that one goes!

The recipe was simple and easy to follow. It's aroma was mouthwatering. It's taste was so savory. But... the bargain saving meat turned out tough. So much for saving money. I had had the butcher cut the meat up for me at no extra cost. I marinated the meat over night as suggested. All went well. But the meat ended up a flavorful shoe. I'll keep the recipe on hand for a better, more expensive cut of meat.
