SQUASH PATTIES

Violet's Squash Patties

8 medium squash (washed & cubed)
1 green bell pepper (cleaned & cubed)
1 red bell pepper (cleaned & cubed)
1 green tomato (washed & cubed)
1 banana pepper (cleaned & cubed)

In small batches, run all of the above ingredients through the food processor. Set aside in a strainer and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. When drained, move to a bowl and add in:

1 red onion (diced)
1 cup of mild cheddar (shredded)
+\- 1 cup of cornmeal
+\- 1 cup of flour
1 egg (lightly beaten)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2-1 tsp of Italian Seasoning
Add enough cornmeal & flour until it comes together like a chunky dough consistency. You dont want it too dry but dont want it too wet either. With a tablespoon, spoon heaping spoonfuls into a skillet over medium-high heat with some veg.oil in the bottom. Spread the spoonfuls out kinda flat and make them into patties. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Enjoy! :)

The first time I made this recipe, I forgot the cheese, and they were still fabulous.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
