A couple weeks ago...the country

So a couple weeks ago we got to visit Aaron and Elisabeth in Streator, it was fantastic! We hiked in the morning, went apple/pear picking and then they cooked pulled pork for us, side of sweet corn, coleslaw AND peach cobbler for dessert hot out of the oven w/ vanilla ice cream!

Bobby and I knew we wore them out when they, Definitely - Maybe, went to sleep to the rented movie!

Here's a few pics - oh and actually Liz gave me the zuchinni's for the recipe below!:

Just stuff laying around in the fridge...

So seriously, I had all this stuff in my fridge except green onions and bought some on the way home...well after I stopped to shoe shop first! This recipe is amazing and low in points (1 pt/fritter)! I didn't even use oil...just PAM. And I was wondering what they'd taste like, it might be the first time i've had zucchini, and it tastes like potatoe pancakes/hashbrowns/french fries, but a WAY healthier alternative. You can't beat that!

Directions:
1. Mix the zucchini, flour, egg, green onions, cilantro, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Spoon the zucchini mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
