Garlic Pork Kabobs

This seemed like an appropriate recipes for the weekend. Although, I'm not sure Mark is going to agree...not that he doesn't LOVE garlic...and kabobs. I don't think he's going to like the idea of standing outside at the grill in all this heat we are having lately.

If you decide to make these, please take a picture an send it to me. I would LOVE to start adding photos to these posts. Please!!!! Thank you, Shawn, for sharing this. I'm certain it's going to be a hit!!
