Hi there!☺️👋 How are you? Today, around 10:40 a.m., I started by boiling eggs and making maca with oats. HOURS LATER, my mom and my little brother, who is only 6, came downstairs from the second floor. There was some bread in the breadbox, and since I had already made the eggs and maca, Mom gave him: warm mashed plantain, bread with hard-boiled egg, and maca with oats to drink.
My little brother finished eating and we were going to make chicken soup... but we decided to eat something first🤭. So Mom turned on the TV📺 and went to YouTube, and right there on the main screen, as if by chance, a video popped up for quick and easy bread recipes. Mom clicked OK on the remote, and there were 3 recipes for making bread. We would have loved to make bread for the first time, but we didn’t have flour—just cornstarch. Then she remembered we had leftover unsalted lettuce and some crackers from the 'Broaster' recipe.
💡That’s how the idea came up: why not make Lettuce Fritters with crackers?
Since it was already lunchtime🕛, that would be our lunch, and the soup would be for dinner. At home, we usually make just one recipe for lunch and dinner.
But sometimes, parents get a spark of creativity just when they need it most, using what’s on hand before it goes bad, and saving a little extra money for other things. Isn’t that great? Well, let’s get started! 🤭⏭️
