mediterranean night

My friend Sarah posted some recipes from her cooking class and they looked/sounded so good I couldn’t wait to try them myself!  One more reason why I enjoy blogging and recipe sharing.  I get to reap a few of the benefits of a cooking class without spending the time and money for the actual class!  Thanks Sarah for letting me do so!

MARINATED LAMB KEBABS

While these tasted great, the best part was actually the smell.  Just that little touch of cinnamon made them mouthwatering!

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

The only downfall to these is there is a lot of prepwork involved.  Lucky for me, however, is that when I need assistance my boyfriend is always willing to help!  He is better at chopping anyway and his eyes have a better tolerance for onions than mine do.  So for me on this particular occasion, there was no downfall!

And since I didn’t have to do any of the prepwork, making these was actually really fun!  Not sure why, but I really enjoyed flipping them like pancakes, trying to get the timing just right.  Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever made pancakes before.  I guess that is why that thrill seemed new to me.

Anyway, the outcome was fantastic and we both ate way more of them than we thought we would.  In my opinion, the yogurt recipe wasn’t needed for these, but it did go well as a dip for the kebabs.  I ate the leftover fritters for breakfast but they were definitely better the first time around.  Morning after, the taste of the feta was a whole lot stronger and just too cheesey for what I can handle in the early hours.  For dinner though, man were they yummy!

Thanks again Sarah!  This meal is sure to be repeated.
