Sweet & Sour Sauce

Ingredients:

1/2 C White Sugar

1/4 C Brown Sugar

1/4 C Cornstarch

1/3 C Vinegar (white, rice or apple cider)

2/3 C Water or Pineapple juice

1/4 C Soy Sauce

~4 Tbsp Ketchup

Directions:

1. Mix together sugars and cornstarch. This is important to do so that once the liquid is added it doesn't clump up your cornstarch.
2. Add water (or juice), vinegar, soy sauce and ketchup. I like to mix the water first so that I can make sure that the sugar and cornstarch mix well, then I add the rest.
3. Bring mixture to a boil and boil until clear, usually about five minutes.

Hint: Double or triple so that you can freeze the leftovers for easier dinners later on :)

Zucchini Bread

This is a favorite.  :)  I got it from an old ward cookbook.  Great for us since we get all the EXTRA zucchini in the garden. I've adapted it to, well, me.  (No nuts.)


Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 c cooking oil
2 c sugar
2 c raw, grated, peeled zucchini
2 tsp vanilla
3 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder






Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*.  Blend eggs, oil, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla; mix well.  Mix flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a separate bowl.  Once combined add to zucchini mixture; mix well.  Grease and flour 2 bread pans.  Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans.  Bake for about 1 hour.  (Toothpick should come out clean.)
