We enjoy making recipes from the Redwall Cookbook.
The other night we enjoyed "Brockhall Badger Carrot Cakes."
3/4 cup cooked and mashed potato
3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1 medium onion, peeled and grated
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
3 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper, to taste
1 T vegetable oil
Mix potato, carrots, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper together well.
Heat oil in frying pan and drop tablespoons of the batter into the pan. Cook until the undersides of the cakes are golden brown, turn them over and cook the other side, 3 - 4 minutes per side.
Transfer cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm in oven. Continue with the remaining batter, adding oil to the pan as needed.

I'm reading a great book by Stephen James and David Thomas. It is about the art of nurturing boys.
My three sons add a depth of joy and frustration to my life that only causes me to bend deeply before His throne of grace for help to parent well! I have a friend in the states who says the same thing about her 4 sons - they are a cause of great joy, much prayer, frustration, fun.....
I thank God for Ben, James, and Jerard! They are all blessings!!!
