I just read eating baked ricotta, and was wondering before, how does everyone else eat their ricotta??
I know Becca had posted something about this, but also know it's on my list and wondered about your ideas on how to prepare/eat it.
Thanks all!!! My surgery is one week from tomomrrow, and I have my pre op appointment in the morning.
I do have a cute and touching short story. I live alone, and I am not going to be able to have my home health aide here, the day I come home, and Val..my gf is working, and I come home on a Thursday from the hospital.
*she is coming out the weekend, on Saturday to stay a few days with me)..
I asked a few high school friends, to ck on me the day I come home, and the day after, and 4 of them said they would!! I feel so much better, that I have someone coming over, so it all is going to work out great!
Love being back in my old hometown, and to be able to call an old high school buddy, and they say ,"Sure , no problem..I can stop over!!" YAY!!!
Feeling blessed,
Boo
I'm excited ,and have lost a decent amount of weight for surgery, I'll get the grand total tomorrow morning at my physical, and post when I get home after it's all done!
You all are the best!

I like my ricotta in lasagna. Well, I used to. ;-)
I think on eggface's blog, she eats it sweetened with sugar-free syrup and sprinkles some nuts or fruit on it. I've never tried that.
I have made the baked ricotta when I was on puree's and I also minced up a tiny meatball to it. I enjoyed that though I know some cannot tolerate meat early on.
I also made a crustless low fat ricotta tomato pie in the summer when the tomatoes were yummy. That had eggs in it and was yummy.
I could find the recipes if anybody needed them.
I only live 45 minutes from you and Maxine and Kathy Ray live in Syracuse. If you need help I'd be glad to come!!

rubymama, I'd love to have the ricotta tomato pie recipe.

For me, I used the ricotta in soups and sauces.... I kept meaning to try it sweet, but with all the yogurt, I just never got around to it! Not bought any since the soft stage.
So happy to see how close your surgery is! Cannot wait! :)
As a savory meal, try adding some salsa.
Be creative and experiment to find what your taste buds like.

And, ladies, thanks for the recipe and great ideas. I've added it to my little recipe file...
