<\/p>\nGood Morning friends from rainy San Francisco,<\/p>\n
Mom has come to the conclusion that the next month is all about holidays, we just finished Thanksgiving and Hanukkah will be starting this weekend.<\/p>\n
What is Hanukkah – it is the festival of lights when a miracle happened and the oil that the Maccabees found to last for one night lasted eight nights so we celebrate this by lighting a candle every night and eat lots of oily foods. Very good for the diet and cholesterol LOL.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What are these foods – Latkes which are like fried hash browns and are yumm, Donuts or what we call them Sufganiyot – in Israel they make them with the jelly in the middle and are delicious. I remember when living in Tel Aviv there was a bakery that made the best I have ever eaten and you had to order in advance to get them as if you went randomly there was a line around the corner waiting. Hmm those were the days.
\nChocolate Coins which we give to the kids and are called Hanukkah Geld.
\nWe also play a game with a dreidel – it is a four sided top with Hebrew Letters on and you win when it falls on one of the letters.<\/p>\n
Another tradition for Hanukkah is we exchange gifts and Layla was lucky to get a wonderful gift from Purebites of different treats. They are her favorite as they are freeze dried treats made with only 1 – 3 ingredients and I call them Layla’s crack LOL, the flavors she got are chicken breasts lamb liver and beef liver. PLUS I think for her the cherry on the cake was their Chicken & Sweet Potato Jerky, she is now set for the holidays with healthy treats made in the USA and I am so grateful for Purebites sending them to us as their treats is one of the few companies I really trust.<\/p>\n
For our cat friends we want to share so you are aware that they make awesome cat treats also. To read more about them you can go to their website :<\/p>\n

\nIngredients and Method
\nOne sweet potato grated
\nOne egg
\nFlour to bind it all together
\nMix all in a bowl, spoon on to a baking sheet which is covered with parchment paper, bake on 350 Deg till brown on top, flip over and carry on baking till ready (golden brown) Cool and serve it to them with sour cream or cottage cheese.
\nThis recipe makes about 5 or 6 depending on the size of the sweet potato.<\/p>\n
\n5 Russet Potatoes peeled (you can do unpeeled also)
\n2 Eggs
\nBreadcrumbs or Matza meal to bind it all together
\nNOW to make life easier and tastier instead of crying while grating onions I use a packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix.
\nSqueeze all the water out of the potatoes, add the rest of the ingredients and mix together.
\nHeat up oil in a frying pan, I use Canola oil, drop a table spoon of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them a bit, fry till golden brown on each side, drain on a paper towel. Serve hot with either sour cream or apple sauce. Bon Appetit.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/page.jpg\")
