White Pasta Sauce-Michelle

1 med. onion,diced 1 qt. whipping cream
Extra virgin olive oil 2/3 c. flour
Fresh parsley, chopped Salt to taste
3 zucchini, quartered lengthwise
and cut into small chunks

My nephew learned how to make this in Italy. This recipe is not exact so you may have to try it and adjust it until it is right for you(ex. I only use 1/3c flour, dry parsley and substitute 1/3 of the whipping cream with milk). First, put diced onion in a med. saucepan and coat with olive oil. Add a large handful of chopped parsley and stir together. Cook in center of pan, on low heat, with lid on. Stir occasionally, keeping onions from browning. When onions are soft and clear, add zucchini and continue to cook on low, but leave lid off. Hand whip whipping cream and flour until smooth. When zucchini are nearly cooked, add whipping cream mixture. Turn up heat and cook with lid off, stirring occasionally. the sauce will thicken a little more as it cooks. Add salt to taste. Serve over your favorite pasta and sprinkle fresh parmesan cheese on top.

Teriaki Chicken -Annie

This is the way I make it at home. It's a little zippier. At Lake Powell, for that large of a group, we just used the soy sauce and sprite. We totally guessed on the combination :)

1 C Sprite

1/2 C Soy Sauce

1 tsp Horse Radish

1/2 C Olive Oil

5-6 Chicken Breast or tenderloins

Cut chicken breasts in half. Marinade chicken in remaining ingredients for 8-24 hours (I think 24 for is too long. It makes it too salty. I prefer 8-12) Grill 8 to 10 minutes on each side.



Apple Dumplings -Annie

There is a perfect tutorial on how to make these here. This website is the bomb. I love everything I've ever made :)
