I’m not very good a planning and many times I get very disorganized. I think it’s because I try to do so many things at once.

I like to keep myself really busy and I typically just do things as I go. I’ve never had a great memory either so I tend to forget what I need to do.

I’m the kind of person who NEEDS to write things down in lists. I’ve tried so many times to get organized and have my lists typed up on my iPhone. It never seems to work out and I have to rely on what I can remember.

One of the things I really need a list for that rarely happens is grocery shopping. My husband knows he needs to write a list if he expects me to buy certain items for him.

Otherwise, I’ll just buy the things I remember that I need. I often buy items at the grocery store thinking that it will be good for a particular use, but end up forgetting and then using it for something else.

Here’s a perfect example: I bought a couple organic zucchini planning to use them for zoodles. But, I ended up make low carb coconut flour zucchini fritters instead.

I suppose it’s not always a bad thing that my mind is constantly shifting gears. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have discovered these super yummy low carb coconut flour zucchini fritters.

I ended up making these coconut flour zucchini fritters for breakfast last weekend to serve with some eggs. They are a very nice alternative to breakfast potatoes.

You could probably serve these gluten free zucchini fritters alone as they are pretty filling. I ate three of them with a scrambled egg. The leftovers were great work day breakfasts.

I didn’t even bother heating up the leftovers. These low carb zucchini fritters are delicious straight out of the refrigerator. I threw them in my cooler bag and ate them cold when I got to the office in the morning.

You may even be able to sneak some vegetables into your kids with these low carb coconut flour zucchini fritters. There is a hint of green from the zucchini, but you can always tell them its a spice herb.

My youngest daughter enjoyed these fritters, too. Check out my zucchini spice cupcakes and chocolate zucchini cake for other delicious ways to get your kids to eat zucchini.
