Italian Bean Patties

Great little change of pace from the usual fare. I love cooking like my grandma and mama did. Both were SO creative, coming up with dishes that were both delicious and economical, a feat many have let fall by the wayside today, with convenience foods the norm instead of the exception. It is quite a challenge to prepare a great meal from almost nothing!!!!
