Fried Potato Latkes (Pancakes) for Chanukah with Easy Homemade Applesauce

Zucchini-Rice Frittata
I found this on Healthy Home Recipes the other day, and decided to make it with a few variations. Definitely doable in less than 20 minutes, assuming the rice has already been cooked. A frittata is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I used brown rice, skipped the green chiles, and substituted red […]
