1 Latke??!!!!

Well, I thought I would give us a treat today since we missed Hanukah because I was still on liquids... and I made homemade latkes! YUM! But guess what.....after only 1 I was full!!!!! This is amazing....granted I had applesauce and a small dab of lo fat sour cream... but jeeesh!!! This surgery is amazing... my refrigerator is filling up on all the leftovers!!! B

had a bite of brisket during Hanukkah! Unfortunately for me, I ended up getting sick, but it is because I get the full feeling after I have eaten and I have not yet figured out the amounts that set me off! Glad you enjoyed and that is awesome that you filled up on such a small amount! Roni 240/200/140 6w out tomorrow

Can you please tell me what a latke is? Someone said they were good though they couldn't remember what it was! Thanks!

A Latke is a potatoe pancake trafitionally served at Hanukah. It is usually fried in hot oil and served with applesauce and sour cream.

Can I have a bite? Just think of those leftovers as thinner thighs, smaller tummy, one less chin...etc!! This surgery is amazing...I don't feel deprived and yet I'm shrinking!!! My refridge has bits of all kinds of food. I tell my hubby don't throw it out...that's a meal for me. Smiles, Summer

I found a recipe for a zucchini latke!! I wasn't sure what it was, but it was on a WLS recipe forum I was looking at today!! If you want the recipe I will get it to you!! It sure sounds good!!

Teresa, I would love the recipe! Variety is the spice of life!! Happy Holidays, Summer

Here ya go Summer!!! Zucchini Latkes 1 medium-small zucchini (about 6 inches long), washed, with ends cut off 1 large egg (or 1 medium egg w/ 1/2 eggshell full of water) 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (not salt!) 1 tsp. Krusteaz CarbSimple Pancake mix (if you don't count carbs you could use your favorite pancake mix) 1 tsp. Low-carb or whole wheat bread crumbs 1 tsp. Kraft Grated Parmesan cheese (the dried stuff - I don't recommend fresh for this, but you 'could') 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/8 tsp. salt 2 tablespoons unsalted, sweet cream butter, melted Grate zucchini with skin into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with the 1/8 tsp. salt and set aside. In a bowl beat together remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Squeeze excess water from the zucchini and add it to the egg mixture. Mix well. This should be thick. Heat non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add melted butter. Yes, I know this seems like a lot of butter, but latkes are traditionally almost deep fried, so this is actually little butter You 'can' substitute up to 1/2 the butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Divide batter in half and drop into skillet creating patties. I use a spoon to kind of push the edges up tight to form 2 nice pancake-like circles. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Serve hot! This is also good with shredded fresh parmesan or mozzarella sprinkled on top, but certainly not necessary. Happy Holidays, Teresa

Thanks Teresa! I bet my boys will eat their veggies disguised!!! Thanks for the recipe!! Summer
