Simple recipe - Easter Pie
Now, the name of this has nothing to do with the actual di**** is not for Easter, and it's not pie. This recipe came from a man who conducts bariatric cooking classes in Huntsville AL. He and his wife are both post RNY (about 4 years out) and he is a caterer by profession.
I met them at a support group in FL - so this comes to you, wherever you are, from the Michigan/Pennsylvania girl who is in FL and got this Alabama recipe!
Anyway, it's (1) simple, (2) looks like cornbread when you make it, and (3) smells like Greek "OPA" flaming cheese. Very rich so a little goes a long way, but good protein content here for a side dish - or main dish if you choose.
Easter Pie
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 15 oz. container ricotta cheese
2 8 oz. bags shredded mozzarella cheese
4 eggs
Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl. Pour into 8 inch square baking dish sprayed with Pam.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Cool slightly before cutting into squares - I made 12 squares but you could easily go with 16 from an 8" pan.

Old family recipe, called Pizza Rustica, by my Great Aunt Mary, who made this every year at Easter, though with a fattening crust, which I years later adapted to make without one, it also contained either pepperoni or priscioutto (Italian cured ham), I used this heavily in post-WLS because it is chock full of protein and I also add spinach/and or any other thing that is healthy, including garlic pepper grinder for taste, experiement, it's a great basis for making something easy and protein packed. . .

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
