These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Herbed Ricotta Tart

The original recipe used onions rather than spinach, but it came out very...um...oniony. We agreed that spinach would be a better key ingredient. This probably changes a bit of the nutritional information, but not too drastically.
