My Organic Food Story

I usually write posts based on Fashion, Makeup and Interior Design. I decided to talk about a delicate topic that most people hear about everyday and that is Organic Food. As some of you may or may not know two years ago i decided to change my eating habits and try to eat clean and healthy as possible. When my mom moved to NYC Twenty five years ago she found herself a bit loss. Coming from the country side of the Dominican Republic raised on a farm where animals grew freely and without any hormones or pesticides. It was a struggle for her to find locally grown products like she was use to eat. She got use to the eating habits of a typical New Yorker not the healthiest or fresh. She always talked about how she use to feel after eating produce from her farm and every time we use to visit our family back in Dominican Republic we would stay in the farm. She always picking her fresh products to prepare her meals.

This use to be one of my father Bulls. 

Sundays are Made For Zucchini Fritters

Happy Monday y'all. I hope everyone had a great weekend my weekend consisted of family time with my little cousins and Zucchini Fritters or Zucchini Pancakes as my 3 year old cousin says. These are so yummy and easy to make, plus....they are child proof. You know when a 3 year old likes them is because they are yummy. I decided to share with you my recipe. I had an extra zucchini from my zucchini muffins that i made last week and i said to myself i need to use it before it goes bad. I said to myself why not make them just as i make my hashbrowns instead of potatoes i use the Zucchini. Made them under 30 minutes used seasoning that i had in my patry and here they are. I think these will be my new guilty pleasure.

All you need is a large zucchini, grater, 1/4 cup meausure, 1tbsp measuring spoon, a bowl and a non stick pan. After grating the zucchini with the skin on. Place it on paper towel and squeeze the extra water out of the zucchini trust me if you don't do this you will have soggy fritters you don't want that. 

One large zucchini makes 2 cups exactly. Place it on a bowl and add one egg, and your favorite seasoning this is when you make it yor own recipe i had italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I also added 1/2 tsp of baking powder basically it makes them fluffy and 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour. If you have regular flour you can use that also and if you have self risen flour you don't need to add the baking powder then. Add 2 tbs of olive oil to a non stick pan and after is medium high heat take an ice cream scoop or spoon and place it on the pan you might want to spread them a bit. After 3 minutes on medium heat flip them over and wait until it browns well and place it on a paper towel that way it drys the excess oil. Trust me when i say these are addictive ! My family kept asking for more. Hope you enjoy them!
