Hi blogger friends! I didn't write a lot these days, because as you know, I am on vacation in my beautiful Sardinia! Since I only have 2 weeks left in here, I am going to enjoy my family as I can, so I will be posting again when I will be back. I have a lot of things to talk about and a lot of recipes to share with you. Until then, have a wonderful summer my friends!

Zucchini time!
Don't you like tomato sauce? I do :) but, I also like all kind of vegetable sauce, like broccoli, mushrooms, kale etc. Is good, is fast and is something different from the red sauce!
What you need:
4 medium fresh zucchini
1 small onion
2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 glass of milk ( I use almond or soy milk, but any kind of skim milk is fine)
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the chopped onion. Wash the zucchini, cut off the ends and cut in pieces. Don't worry, they don't have to be too nice or too small since we are going to blend them later!
Put the zucchini in the pan with the onion, and add the milk, salt and pepper.
Put the lid on and let it cook for about 30 minutes or until the zucchini are tender.
Turn the heat off, let it cool a little, and put it in a blender. I usually blend it in 2 times, it is easier!
Et voila'! Zucchini sauce ready to serve with pasta, or if you prefer, eat it just like that, straight from the bowl!

Apple banana sauce
My kids love applesauce! Not only apple, every fruit sauce actually! I usually buy the organic one, trying to stay away from the others. But, there is a but....even if is organic, when I buy it, I always have that feeling that says: " Hey you, lazy butt! Is it too much work to try to make your own??? " Bu,t it usually last a few seconds, until my older son reminds me to hurry! Well, today, since I am still on vacation in my Sardinia, and have a little extra time, thanks to my parents, I decided to try it! WHOOHOO! I looked for recipes on internet, but they all called for a lot of apples. ! lb, 2lb..really? Come on, this is my first try, I need something smaller and faster. So, I decided to be brave and try by myself without recipes. And heck, I did a good job! Fast, easy and super good! Now, this is only a simple try, so, don't be disappointed for the 3 ingredients. This is one of those recipes that you can easily change, add, or modify to suit your taste!
What you need:
1 apple
1 banana
1 Tbs Agave nectar or honey
1 to 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup water
Peel the apple, the banana and cut in pieces. Put them in a small pot with the water, lemon juice and honey.
