Some of you might remember that early last year I went through a period where I was conscious of watching my carb intake.

It is no secret that I love carbs.

I don't have an issue with sweets, but give me bread, crackers or chips, and I'm going to indulge way more than I should.

When I did this, I lost about 18 pounds in a relatively short time frame.

And I kept it off, with exercise, until Thanksgiving.

In the months between Thanksgiving and my sons birthday in February, life got crazy. I got sick from a mold issue that we didn't discover until it was too late in a home we were staying in.

I stopped working out.

And I let myself go on celebration yumminess.

I assumed it was merely holiday weight and it would work itself out once my diet returned to normal and I started exercising again.

Oh but no! (Thank you, being over 45.)

Since I'm uncomfortable with the weight gain, I've decided to get serious about keeping my carbs lower.

I find that when I focus on sufficient (but not high) protein, a ridiculous about of vegetables in my diet, and good fats, I am less hungry.

And I almost never get hangry when I eat this way.

The good news is that there are so many ways to make low-carb eating delicious and as comforting as traditional comfort foods.

This Zucchini Fritters Recipe is the perfect example!

With salty feta and a crispy crust topped with Tzatziki Sauce, this is going to be one that you crave time and again.

Tip For Making Zucchini Fritters:

Like all fritters, these Zucchini Fritters can be a little tricky to cook. The key is to have your pan on about medium. (Depending on your stove and pan.) You want them to start firming up and the edges to show browning before you attempt to flip them.

When you are ready to flip, carefully nudge your spatula under the fritters and then quickly flip.

If they fall apart slightly, just reshape them with the back of the spatula.

Frequently Asked Questions About Making this Zucchini Fritters Recipe:

• Can Zucchini Fritters Be Frozen?

Yes! You can freeze Zucchini Fritters. To do so, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until frozen and then transfer to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Alternatively, you can freeze the fritters in a freezer-safe container using parchment paper to separate the layers.

• Can Zucchini Fritters Be Make Ahead?

Yes, this Zucchini Fritters Recipe may be made ahead of time. You can either form the fritters and cook just before serving, or cook them ahead of time. They may be served warm or cold.

• Can You Bake Zucchini Fritters?

Yes, you may bake these Zucchini Fritters for 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Flip after 15 minutes. For a crisper crust, spray with oil prior to cooking.

I've cooked my Zucchini Fritters in Organic Valley Grass-Fed Ghee, which I got as part of my #shiftconlovepackage. (Truth be told, I've been using Organic Valley's Ghee for several years and already had some in the pantry.)

What is Ghee?

Ghee is butter that has been simmered over low heat to separate and remove the milk solids. The process of making ghee is similar to that of making clarified butter, but ghee is cooked longer. Ghee is cooked until the milk solids start to caramelize, which gives it its luscious nutty aroma.

What are the Benefits of Ghee?

• Ghee has a higher smoke point than butter, making it an excellent option for high-heat cooking. The smoke point of ghee is close to 500 degrees.
• Since the milk solids have been removed, it has little to no lactose or casein. Some people who have lactose sensitivities can tolerate ghee.
• Ghee does not need refrigeration.
• Excellent source of medium- and short-chain fatty acids, which are associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
• Grass-fed ghee is a good source of CLA, which is believed to be anti-inflammatory.
