Very excellent idea for cooking zucchini. Big surprise.

Cheesy, juicy, tasty and delicious. We used all ricotta cheese, put most of the mozzarella cheese into the filling ingredients, which we really enjoyed.

I loved the mixture of the parmesan and swiss cheeses in this. I didn't realize I was almost out of rice so I ended up using 1.5c cooked rice and 0.5c cooked couscous. That turned out wonderful! I thought this would be more "tomato-y", and I used 1.5 cups of tomatoes, but it was still tasty. Also, I didn't bother to peel or seed the tomatoes.

We liked it very much. The flavour is strong so make sure you serve it to those who like fish or cut down on the smoked salmon.

Popeye Pie is a crustless spinach quiche with fresh spinach, eggs, milk, Parmesan, celery, and nutmeg. Low-fat and diabetic-friendly, this savory pie has no pastry shell to weigh it down.

Love this lower-fat cheesecake. It well satisfied my cheesecake cravings but without giving me too much guilt afterwards. LOL.
