Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini is a food I did not eat at all as a child, but eat all the time as an adult. I try to find new ways to incorporate the squash on a regular basis.

Ingredients
1 lb of zucchini, ends trimmed
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1 tbs of baking soda
1 large egg, beaten
Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt, ground pepper and hot sauce
1/2 cup of olive oil

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Use the side of a grater with large holes and grate the zucchini onto a dry towel.
3. Squeeze out liquid, and discard towel.
4. In large bowl, combine zucchini, Parmesan, and green onions.
5. In a small bowl, is the flour and baking powder. Add to the zucchini bowl.
6. Add the lemon zest, juice and egg and mix everything together, and season with salt, pepper and hot sauce.
7. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
8. Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter down to form cakes, and fry until golden and crispy.
9. Put the fritters onto a parchment lined baking sheet and put in oven until ready to serve.

Changes I Made!
I made them without the lemon, and I ditched the hot sauce. Came out great without the ingredients.

This recipe is from Cast Iron Nation.

"A Farewell to Arms" Mac N Cheese

I love reading, so when I was given The Book Lovers Cook Book it was a dream come true. I have a deep love for The Lost Generation, so this recipe sneaked in between a quote from Gertrude Stein, and a passage from Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was a perfect start for me.

Baked Potato Soup

Baked potato soup is one of the first soups I learned how to make, and this recipe is my go to recipe, especially in the middle of winter, because most of the ingredients I have on hand at all times. Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, bakes and cooled 1 can of chicken broth 2 tbs of sour cream 1/8 tsp of pepper 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese Directions Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place 1/2 of the potato in a blender and with chicken broth. Pour mix into sauce pan and add remaining potato, sour cream and pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever else you want. Changes I made! I do not mess with this recipe except what I add on top when I eat. This recipe is from Taste of Home.
