Zucchini Tots

The summer harvest has started, and I’m once again the proud owner of oversized zucchinis. Seriously, you only have to miss them in the garden for a day and suddenly you have more than you can possibly need. Zucchinis are a vegetable I can take or leave. They are great for bulking out mince, but they are fairly bland on their own. They are, however, incredibly easy to grow, Hence our glut.

I’ve already made zucchini fritters, zucchini slice, and baked zucchini when I saw the idea of making zucchini tots (like potato tots) on the internet. Intrigued, I gave it a go. The kids absolutely went mad for them, and went back for seconds and thirds, and have requested I make them again soon, which I take as a good sign. They were pretty tasty.

Our zucchinis are yellow, but you could make these with green zucchinis and you would just have little green flecks through them. Still delicious.

We’re getting to the end of the summer break 😭. The kids have been staying up late, sleeping in, swimming and kayaking on the dam, reading and watching movies, and giving the LEGO a good run. I’ve been reading, sorting out things (it’s what I do in January), binge watching Netflix, and cooking. In the evenings I go for a walk and always arrive back to this view as the sun is setting. Also, I haven’t taken down the Christmas lights yet, and I probably won’t for a while longer because they are so pretty. Not ready for summer to end!

I even pulled everything out on the bathroom vanity and gave it a purge and deep clean. I have no idea how half the stuff got there 🤷‍♀️. For me January is a time to reset the house, de clutter and get sorted. Something about a new year perhaps? 🤔
Anyhow, here’s a pic of my freshly decobwebbed (totally a word) window  which makes me happy- just don’t look too closely!

The mulberry tree has begun to fruit so I whipped up this mulberry yoghurt cake. It’s delicious and easy. The mulberries go all jammy and the cake is soft and not too sweet. Perfect comfort food with a hot drink when it feels like the world has gone mad.
