Zucchini Fritters

Just a quick post here to share a new recipe we tried this past week! It really was DELISH!  We have a subscription to the Bon Appetit magazine and found it in there!  Normally we have a ton of zucchini from our garden this time of year, but we only have a few due to some pesky bugs!  (But we still have some in our freezer from last year! Yay!)  We did not make the sauce, we just ate them plain.

So if you have some zucchini we recommend you try this lovely fritter!  I would make them thinner so the inside is sure to get done.  We will be making this one again in the future no doubt!

Enjoy and Thanks for stopping by!
