Happy Hanukkah

Today is the first day of Hanukkah. I decided it would be a good start to teach DS about it.


I also decided to make Latkes. All the recipes included eggs which we can't do. I winged it based on several recipes I read. Apple sauce seemed fitting. I dipped mine in apple sauce and it was really good.

8 medium grated potatoes, grated
1 medium onion, grated
Squeeze as much water out of these as possible.
pepper and salt
some apple sauce [I used about 2oz] to replace the egg
3-4tsp of all purpose flour

I fried them in Canola oil and Olive oil since olive oil is traditional.

My son was into the whole sword fight part of the Jewish people taking back their temple. He also got his first chocolate coin.
