Hey Everyone! Happy Saturday. How has your morning been going today? Maybe a bit lazy, maybe productive been the the gym done some chores who knows. Well mine was spent baking some bread. Delicious crusty italian bread ….
Yup, I spent the morning baking some bread and then eating said bread. But, breakfast on a Saturday morning isn’t just about eating bread now is it. Nope, but making some ridiculously easy / incredible tasting zucchini fritters is what Saturday mornings are about. Plus, we needed to save some for Pasta dinner tonight so you know.
This year, on our annual trip home to Bonaire for 3 months (Ok, I wasn’t born here but it’s home now) has been met with constant disaster-ish things. Well between us and our two best friends down here none of us have been not sick at the same time. Three weeks of us all alternatively being sick. Also Robs friend came for a two week visit and he too was sick. The good news is I only seem to get sick once every three years so goodbye evil flu monster see you later. Not sure why that is, maybe because of my hot sauce addiction, maybe because of the constant sunshine I am in who knows but you know who is not complaining, this girl!
I have good feelings about November though, things will be back on track
Seeing as Rob has been the latest one to be sick I have been staying in lots to take care of him and what does that mean, lots of cooking, even more so then normal. I think the number one item I have been cooking though is soup because when you are sick there is nothing better than a warm bowl of Soup. I made a mushroom soup last night to die for, literally to die for. But it seems like today is looking up and we can graduate from soup nights. I love you Soup but I was starting to get a little tired of you.
I am a big fan of zucchini especially in these zucchini fritters. Because they don’t have a ton of flavour in them you really want to add some nice big bold flavours to dish and then it ends up kinda becoming a vehicle for other things. And sometimes you just need something to put a big handful of feta in and not have to feel guilty about eating a bunch of cheese in the morning. Seriously I love cheese. There are a few other reasons but the main main reason I could not be a Vegan would be the fact that I couldn’t eat cheese anymore. Life just would not be the same
Here are a few reasons why you should be making these delicious Zucchini Fritters for your next breakfast / brunch
