Eggplant Fritters
"Is it a struggle to get your kids to eat vegetables? My mom used to make these, calling them, "Eggplant Cookies." Although I wouldn't consider them completely healthy, since they're deep fried, and are dusted with powdered sugar, as picky kids that we were about not eating vegetables, we ate and loved these! Depending on the size of your eggplant, it should make anywhere from 8-10 fritters. Mom served them as a side dish. There were never any left-over!"

Hi! I'm of Irish heritage, with a little bit of American Indian, Spanish, and English in me. I was raised in the heart of Cajun Country, but have traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. I'm in the restaurant business and have worked in every aspect of it for the past 35 years. I'm also a Jazz vocalist. My passions in life are singing, gardening, and cooking. I'm in the process of writing a cookbook, as a legacy to my mother, who passed away in 1979, who was a fabulous cook, and who always wanted to write her own cookbook. I have one daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter, who is the love of my life. I can't wait to be able to teach her how to cook and cook with her! Thanks for your interest in me! God bless you and have a wonderful day!
