Dinner Donuts

It's official:  our garden has kicked the bucket.  The "big" harvest this year was a few tomatoes, 2-3 handfuls of green beans and only two zucchini.  There were green tomatoes on the vines when I checked the other day, but Hurricane Irene may have taken care of that!

So with the two lonely zucchini, Brian found a recipe for zucchini cakes.  Kind of reminiscent of a crab cake.  He had to make one adjustment, frying them in olive oil instead of canola because I killed the bottle of canola making chicken cutlets earlier in the week.

We knew that if we called them "zucchini cakes" the Big Kid would balk.  So Brian coined the name "dinner donuts."  Appropriate, no?

I also went as far as to call the green flecks "herbs."  This passed muster, and Big Kid tried 'em.  And didn't like 'em.  The Little Kid tried and didn't like, either.

Oh well, at least there wasn't a screamfest to get him to try it.  And this way....more for me and Hubby.
