I am the girl with the packed lunch. But taking a filling packed lunch becomes harder without wheat or grains. I love salads and soups, but they’re messy, and sometimes they just don’t cut it.
These fritters are really tasty and stick together well – the perfect lunchbox filler!
Further Food Commentary:
Polenta is a great gluten-free grain/starch. Zucchini is a healthful vegetable that is well tolerated by most people with sensitive guts.
