This is a third course that I concocted one evening when I needed something else to serve for dinner.

Made with just a few ingredients — hand-dipped ricotta, honey, lemon, and orange zest — it came together quickly for a satisfying third course.

The kids loved it, and it’s a delicious alternative to milk as a way to include calcium in everyone's dinner.

Ingredients

  • Hand-dipped or a good brand of ricotta
  • Honey — a flavored honey like lavender or orange adds a nice touch
  • Lemon zest and/or orange zest

Hand-dipped ricotta and orange honey. I bought the honey at Yummy Bazaar — a fabulous online store with prices much lower than other popular sites. Have fun looking around!

Instructions

Place a scoop of ricotta in a small ramekin or bowl

Drizzle the honey over the ricotta

Zest a lemon and/or an orange on top – it’s pretty and nutritious!

Enjoy! And remember, serving a third course helps you pull together a quick and easy dinner.

Ramekins are also handy to have on hand!

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

  • Accidental Weight Loss!

    “I don't know if I told you, but I accidentally lost about 8 lbs after cutting out most semi-processed foods!"
