Harris County Voices Needed
Harris County’s Early Learning Quality Network wants to collaborate with you! The ELQN needs input from community members in child care deserts who know their neighborhoods best, as they work to develop improvement strategies that reflect local values, needs, and resources.
This Spring’s engagement opportunities include Grab-and-Go Family Resource Fairs for babies and young children, Literacy Fairs, community listening sessions, family coaching, and giveaways of children’s books, technology equipment, and tickets to local attractions in areas that have been identified as childcare deserts (see map). Check out the calendar of events for the upcoming months & share with neighbors who want to make an impact in your community!
These offerings are supported by the Harris County Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity (DEEO) and CHILDREN AT RISK. To apply for free home technology equipment for children ages 4-8, complete the application here.

Carrot Fritters
Ingredientes
- 1 lbs carrots grated
- 1 egg small
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour use more if needed
- 1 clove garlic grated or 1/8 teaspon garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 2 tsp spinach or cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 1 tsp ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup plain hummus
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instrucciones
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a food processor or a box grater, grate the carrots, then drain and squeeze them with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Add them to a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the grated carrots and mix until well combined. If the mixture is still wet and difficult to handle, you might add more flour.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your hand.
- Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, then turn them over and bake for a further 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Check your oven; the baking time might be slightly different.
- Optional: YOGURT-HUMMUS DIP
- Yogurt-hummus dip: Make a super easy yogurt-hummus dip by simply mixing plain yogurt, hummus, and lemon juice.
- Serve the fritters with the yogurt-hummus dip. They're best when freshly baked, but they can also be served cold. Enjoy!
