Our latest Random Lunch Challenge was a stretch–it was hot, we were tired, we were finding it all too much…until we found bunches of divinely aromatic Basil. 2 big bunches for $3. A previous conversation over menu planning coffee that mentioned corn fritters made me think of basil fritters…..zuchinni being the structural component.

One son ran with this idea and did the shopping, and utilizing free home eggs and a wee bit of flour, the basil, zuchinni, goats cheese and bacon totaled less than $9. Five of us ate up to three Basil and zucchini fritters each. One whole bunch of basil used caused a fritter taste sensation. I will be making these again.
