Grandma Ida Oats would always say:
“Over ripe bananas, make tasty treats
As children play
Beat the batter
Add a little flour, egg, salt, nutmeg
Don’t forget vanilla
Stir it all up
Leave no clumps
Fry the batter, 2 tablespoons at time
Until golden brown on each side
Bite
Chew
Swallow
Then Sip on homemade fresh Cocoa
That’s the way we eat
Our tasty Banana Fritters treat”
Dinner is served!

If there is one thing I love, its a good ole fashion burger! My parents are pescatarian!
Definition: Occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Although the word is not commonly used and a pescatarian is not technically a vegetarian, more and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet. Pescetarians often believe that moderate consumption of fish or fish oils, which are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, is necessary for optimum health, although vegetarian alternatives, such as flax seed oil, are available.

What’s Tofu? According to Wikipedia:
“Tofu (Chinese: 豆腐 dòufu; Japanese: 豆腐 or とうふ tōfu; Korean: 두부 dubu), also called bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It is a component in many East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines.[3][4] There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu has a subtle flavor and can be used in savory and sweet dishes.”
