What a treat! If you've ever had on of the sweet roles or éclairs from our very own Renae Salazar you don't want to miss this. As a single mom. Renae's mom, started Shirley's Homemade Bakery in Provo in 1996 in order to support her five daughters. She uses her own recipes and has taught her daughters to bake well. Shirley will be sharing her experiences and how to make some goodies.

The only thing you need to bring is a 9x13 sheet to take you goods home to bake. I would also suggest a kitchen towel to cover the bread as not to get it dirty on the way home!

Zucchini Recipes

2011-08-01T17:27:00.000-06:00

Aren't these zucchini blossoms lovely?

Within 4 days the zucchini was the perfect size!

Hello gardeners! Do you have zucchinis coming out of your ears? Not quite sure how to use up all that wonderful tastiness. Rachel Child has shared some recipes with notes so that your zucchini will not go to waste.

Zucchini Angel Hair Pancake
Baked Ziti Summer Veggies - I don't like fresh tomatoes, so I used a drained can on diced
Chicken Rice Casserole - good
Herb Marinated Grilled Vegetables - I just used zucchini and yellow squash & decreased the marinade by half
Grilled Yellow Squash with Oregano - simple and good
Grilled Zucchini Caprese Sandwiches
Grilled Zucchini with Garlic & Lemon Butter - favorite grilled squash recipe ever
Penne with Zucchini Pistou
Squash Bacon Mozzarella Quiche
Summer Squash Corn Chowder - good
Summer Corn Chowder with Bacon - fantastically amazing, just make sure you get good bacon, or the yucky fat from the yucky bacon 100% ruins it

Stuffed Zucchini

With the 3 I harvested, I'm thinking of making Zucchini Parmesan, replacing the eggplant in our recipe.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Beef with Cabbage and Carrots - use zucchini or any other veggie you'd stir fry.

Pork Roast with Garlic Ginger Soy Marinade

Chinese Chimichangas

With a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, AIDA has become one of musical theatre's new powerhouse musical classics. Directed by Howard & Kathryn Little.

LeConte Stewart: Depression Era Art

2011-07-14T07:19:00.000-06:00

Opens July 21, 2011
10am - 5pm ~ Tues, Thurs, Friday
10am - 8pm ~ Wed.
11am - 5pm ~ Sat. & Sun
Utah Museum of Fine Arts (directions)

In an exciting collaboration, the UMFA has teamed up with the L.D.S. Church History Museum to stage the largest exhibition ever mounted of Utah artist LeConte Stewart's work.

The UMFA's retrospective will examine defining works created during the Great Depression, a period when the artist examined thematic images of progress juxtaposed to the human consequences of economic upheaval.

The L.D.S. Church History Museum will exhibit a survey of Stewart's large body of landscape works on paper and paintings with an emphasis of rural Utah. Farmhouses, barns and fields are depicted in rich tones with thick impasto and loose brushstrokes. They are familiar scenes of the western environment. It is a backdrop in which Stewart found not only the isolation he sought throughout his life, but a spirit in the land that was of solace to him.

6 - 9 pm
Waterfall Amphitheater, Thanksgiving Point Gardens

The 5 Browns are waking up classical music by introducing it to the widest, largest, and most excited audience they can find. See them perform at the stunning Waterfall Amphitheater at Thanksgiving Point for this very special evening.

The 5 Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae – all attended New York’s Juilliard School: the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously. The quintet enjoyed their first... wave of critical attention in February 2002 when People magazine dubbed them the "Fab Five" and at about the same time they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The 5 Browns have released 3 CDs that each went to 1 on Billboard Magazine’s Classical Album Chart. The New York Post has proclaimed: “One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years…When these kids do Rachmaninoff, they'll make you forget about Marshall amps.” The 5 Browns reveal a deep connection to the intent of their material while bringing a fresh energy and dynamic character to the color and tonal spectrum of their sound.
