This is the time of year when I love cooking. The garden has taken a back seat this year because of the coffee shop, but we’re still getting a handful of fresh produce. My favorite thing to do with squash (and even carrots and broccoli) is to make them into veggie fritters.

1. Shred or chop veggie of choice. (I used a spaghetti squash for these photos which kind of self-shreds).
   
2. Mix in enough egg to wet all of the veggie. You can also add in flax meal if you so feel incline.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also experiment with fresh herbs and other spices.
4. Pan fry on medium-high heat until egg sets.
   
5. Serve plain or with fresh salsa.

For one of my kids, this is one of the only ways he gets veggies into his system. If I make these, he even does it without complaining!

Variations:

• Add curry spices and serve with plain yogurt.
• Add Italian spices and serve with tomato sauce

What will you try?
