Zucchini is My Friend

When I am not at school or doing homework, I usually watch a lot of Seinfeld. And when this happens, something to eat never hurts. So get up and open my fridge for the sixteenth time when I decide I will finally make something. A lot of times I decide on what I am going to make by what vegetables are about to go bad next in my fridge or look a little haggard. It just so happened that my zucchini was up to the plate. So I asked: zucchini, what am I going to do with you?

What happened next you ask? No you didn’t ask? I’ll tell you anyway.

Well I simply:

Grated one zucchini

Beat 2 eggs

Chopped a clove of garlic

Chopped some green onion

Added ¼ cup of flour

Hit that bowl with some S & P

And abracadabra, you got yourself some zucchini cake batter.

You might be asking yourself, now Laura, where will the fat come from?

Just grate some cheese while you’re at it and toss it right into the bowl and pour some E.V.O.O. in a pan and get that oil nice at hot.

ZUCCHINI ALERT: After you grate the zucchini put it in a cloth or some paper towels and squeeze to get the moisture out.

This is a lazy meal because it takes only minutes to prepare and fry. Top it off with some tzatziki and you’re gold. Gold!

Commence sitting on the couch watching Seinfeld.

I have since brought these to school for breakfast and shared them with my good friends Brian and Lindsey. They have told me they are enjoyable. Maybe you will too. Try making them, they're a cinch. 

What crossed my mind as I made these:

1) Am I that hungry to leave Seinfeld and make something?

2) What cheese should I put in, feta, marble, or provolone?

3) There is no way these are going to turn out; I should have just had Froot Loops. Should I abort this mission?

4) Attack & Release by The Black Keys makes for excellent zucchini cake makin’ music.

5) Wait, this actually looks pretty darn good. I am queen of the kitchen. Queen I say!

6) Emily would love these.
