I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow... and I'm most nervous about not being able to eat solid foods after the procedure. The last time I had oral surgery, I miraculously recovered within hours without the need of painkillers once I saw a slice of cheesecake. Let's hope this time is similar, because I don't want to make something lame Iike oatmeal or apple sauce for next weeks blog.

I've been reminded several times to stop eating/drinking after midnight... So I've reacted the way any rational person would by spending all day today indulging in all my favourite foods.

I also made these nifty baked zucchini fries. They were a very easy, delicious, and light (depending on what dipping sauce you use) alternative to regular fries. In light of the pain I'll probably be in for the next few days, I think I might have a juice/smoothie special featured in my next post. Stay tuned?

1 pound zucchinis, cut into 4-5inch strips

2 cups panko bread crumbs (90g)

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 eggs + 2 tbsp water

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt

Pepper

Preheat the oven to 420F and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.

Place the sliced zucchinis into a ziploc bag, add the whole wheat flour and shake until evenly coated.

Whisk together eggs and water in a shallow dish.

Mix the panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.

Dip the flour coated zucchinis into the whisked eggs before evenly coating each side with the panko mix. Repeat with the rest of the zucchini strips.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until brown.

Enjoy!
