I LOVE CARBS!

My oven has been non-stop all morning!  Knowing I had to freeze all that beautiful pumpkin pulp, I decided to use a cup and a half to make yummy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin bread!  I have a hard time defrosting or popping the seal on anything I have just recently put back for the winter and so the bread had to be made!  It also helps that I am leaving for the weekend and won't be tempted to eat it (and nothing else) for 3 meals a day.
While I was at it with the oven all stoked up I decided to finally try my hand at bagels.  They look tasty, but it only made 5 small ones.  I haven't tried them because instead I ate a slice of the pumpkin bread.  Sugar always wins! 
I am going to my gram's and a friend's place for a couple of days, neither of which eat organic. So, to prepare myself I made some zucchini patties!  This was a thrown together idea and it turned out great!  They are really tasty and filling!  Although I don't think Don will go near them, so finally in the oven I have a meaty, cheesy lasagna. 
zucchini patties

1 medium zucchini shredded ( add salt to taste and let drain in colander, press to push out water) 
Egg replacer for 2 eggs 
1 tsp Onion salt
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Pepper 
( I tasted as I went and added more of the spices I like)
Mix together and add flour a little at a time til the mixture holds together

Make small palm sized patties and place on a well greased baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes

Let cool for about 7-10 minutes on pan before trying to remove.
