Quick dinner



From the fossil room at the Sheik Faisal Museum – a super cool collection of historical things collected by one man over 60 or so years. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in town.
Is there anything more relaxing than a lazy brunch? I made this fall-inspired treat on a rainy Sunday, and it hit the spot – even for DH, and he’s not a huge fan of zucchini.
Serve with your favorite toppings – creme fraiche, smoked salmon, fluffy eggs, bacon, pico – whatever you have in hand that needs to be used up.

Lazy Brunch Pumpkin Fritters
2c. shredded zucchini
6T. canned pumpkin purée (the 100% pumpkin kind, not the one that’s pre-spiced for pie)
1T. garlic powder
1T. onion powder
1t. curry powder
1T. fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2c. almond flour
1/3-1/2c. coconut flour
1 egg
Ghee for cooking
Toppers – I served with smoked salmon and soft scrambled chive eggs
Shred your zucchini, lay on a towel or paper towels, and press the water out.
Add to a large bowl with the rest of the critter ingredients. Stir to combine.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add a couple Tablespoons ghee.
Form the critters into palm-sized patties as you go. Brown, flip, remove to a plate until everything is finished.
Serve with toppers.
Serves 2-3 for breakfast

Happy birthday, ma 🍣🌹
