Quite fun to see what you can sneak past kids when they haven't got their defences up!Fiona Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970779962455905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-63610638968470790892013-08-13T13:32:34.625+01:002013-08-13T13:32:34.625+01:00Fritters have never worked with my little person -...Fritters have never worked with my little person - I put veg in macaroni cheese (pureed butternut squash), tomato sauce (courgettes) and smoothies (kale, spinach, chard). Meatballs, of all things, are a great veg delivery system. I've packed in kale and courgette and carrot.

Any herbs and spices you like can be added with the flour. Then fry and flatten slightly. No egg is needed, so I suppose it's cheaper, but it is still very delicious and much lighter.janerowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295097968168916092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-2762920568948276302013-08-12T15:57:58.408+01:002013-08-12T15:57:58.408+01:00@Sarah - yes, mine always did (like corn fritters)...@Sarah - yes, mine always did (like corn fritters) though I never quite regard them as truly virtuous veg.
