Delicious Grilled Beef and Veggie Kebabs (And they are Diabetic Friendly, too!)

These delicious beef and veggie kebabs are easy to make and taste
great grilled on the outdoor grill, the indoor grill, or under the
broiler. And the good part, they can be prepared a day ahead,
wrapped, refrigerated, and grilled the next day. GRILLED BEEF AND
