I'm hungry.

Does 6:30pm ever roll around and you haven't started dinner yet? And of course, your child (or somebody acting like a child) is loudly vocalizing their desire that you cook them dinner?

This never happens to you? No? I should be probably be reading your blog, because you are clearly better at life than I am.

If you are like me, I would recommend this as a quick meal that uses basic staples that you will likely already have around your kitchen.

Potato pancakes

You will need:

6 medium potatoes

1 small onion

3 eggs

2 medium carrots

Salt & Pepper

Grate the carrots and potatoes. Chop the onion. 

Mix these ingredients and the eggs together. Add salt and pepper.

Fry in your preferred oil on medium high heat. Be sure to preheat the oil. If you put the pancakes in less than hot oil, it will absorb it and become greasy. I had some bacon schmalz around, so I used that. Coconut oil also works beautifully. 

I also fried up some zucchini for Gilbert.

 Put on plate and enjoy. 

I went from zero dinner to a tasty meal on the table in about 30 minutes.  I'm feeling pretty good about it.  You will feel good about it too.
