Courgette and Feta Cheese Latkes

 

We had latkes for our lunch today. Easy, quick and delicious.  We had them with baby spinach, tomato and cucumber salad, drizzled with olive oil and lime juice. 

A. just loves her veggies and honestly I feel relieved about that. I feared she would be fussy eater but thankfully she’s not. I would like to think she has this from me. You see when I was expecting her, I ate tons of salad. And I mean it –tons and tons of veggies. I even was called a rabbit by some people : )  

 

 

My husband J. went fishing today. That’s something he wanted to do for a while now and with extra time on his hands he finally did that. He came home with one smallish fish, but he was very proud of himself! Now I am thinking what to do with this fish. I might cook soup or stew, or may be simply grill.  But at first I have to find out the name of this fish!
