Fritters delight

I got some zucchinis the other week from my sister in law’s garden. I cooked them into zucchini carrot fritters. I grated the zucchinis and carrots. I mixed with flour and eggs, sliced spring onions, a pinch of salt and dash of pepper. I formed them into balls with the spoon and flattened into the pan with hot oil. I fried it till both sides are golden brown. I let it strained in the kitchen paper and served it with green salads. I find it good as it is a little crispy outside but soft inside. Next time I will cook more that i will be get full since the tryout is quiet not enough to feast

Corn pudding

Last weekend, I craved for corn cub but their were no more sale in the supermarket. I resorted buying canned corn kernels. I decided to make corn pudding so that hubby can eat too. I combined the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, milk, eggs, butter, and pepper in a large mixing bowl then I added cornmeal and stirred until moistened. I poured corn mixture into a 2-quart casserole and baked in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until lightly browned and set in the center.
