green onion, and jalapeno

-serve with sour cream

-mix well
-coat the cheese curds and drain the excess

Grilled Italian Marinated Zucchini
This recipe is probably too easy to post, but this time of year we always have so many zucchinis and never know what to do with them! This is super, super easy and goes great with all kinds of meats....
1- large zucchini, sliced thin
Italian dressing (the oil kind- not creamy)
-wash & slice the zucchini thin
-marinate for about 30 minutes in the dressing
-grill over med heat, turning once until slightly charred
(if you have a grill pan that works really nice so you
don't lose them down the grate!)
-top with a bit of the leftover dressing if desired & enjoy
