Latkes

I've come to the conclusion that a person can take just about any grated vegetable, fry it in oil, salt it, and have happy tummies on the other side of the fry pan....

The other day I made latkes out six small grated zucchinis, two large grated onions and two eggs. When friends stopped by unexpectedly, I grated half a butternut squash (!) in the remaining mix and added a few tbls. of coconut flour.

Last night, I grated the only veggies I had around that weren't cucumbers or tomatoes, and we had onion and carrot latkes. I forgot to add the eggs, but did add some coconut flour. They were very delicate, but sweet and yummy.

Happy Chanukah!

You grated butternut squash? Please tell me you have a really good food processor...

G-d bless my MIL. When we redid our kitchen, she got me a KitchenAid. I splurged on the veggie/cheese grater attachment (plus the ice cream maker one) and that KitchenAid gets used just about every day (sometimes more than once a day....). I loooove it. Couldn't do SCD without it.

Actually, the carrot latkes were gross. They were waaaaaaaay to sweet. I liked the zucchini ones, though.
