Zucchini Ricotta Cheesecake

This is a perfect vegan dish!

I just had that for dinner and it was so DELISH! While it was baking in the oven~ I could smell the aroma of the cheese, dill, zucchini and lemon all way from the upstair while I was coming down.

It melt into my mouth with those burst of flavors - so heavenly! It's more healthier to dine in at same time great timing to eat vegetables as well.

Definitely I will have this again for my breakfast tomorrow morning with a nice cup of hot tea :D!

Ingredients:

2 cups zucchini, unpeeled and grated

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 1/2 cups ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 shallots, chopped or red onion, chopped (that's one I had used for my dish)

2 cloves of garlic , chopped

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

Zest of 1 lemon

2 large eggs, well beaten

1/3 cup of either goat or feta cheese ( I use the feta cheese), crumbled

Drizzle of Olive Oil

Mix all of those ingredients except the olive oil. Pour those ingredients into a small baking casserole and drizzle some of Olive Oil on the top.

Bake it at 325 degree for 60 minutes. For me, it take little more than 60 minutes. So it's more like 1 1/2 hours of baking until it gets firm a little bit.

Enjoy this vegan dish!

Cheddar Basil Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini Rocks!

I totally MEAN it! I love eating those zucchinis while I was growing up. I decided to stop at the Wagner's Farm Market here in New Mexico and spot the huge zucchinis. I couldn't believe that 4 HUGE zucchinis for just a dollar- what a sweet price to pay those.

I decided to come up with a few dishes with zucchini and something really healthy to enjoy.

I came up the idea of making the zucchini muffins and why not to add the cheddar and basil to make it more burst flavors.

I had made those and it came out very delish. It would be great with butter or any kind of spreads you like on your muffins since it's not much high sugar which it's perfect. I had that for breakfast with nice cup of iced chai or hot tea. You can even enjoy it with a cup of coffee or any choice of juice.

It's really simple and easy to make :D..

Ingredients:

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon basil, finely chopped

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Mix it all up and pour into the muffin cup or pan -whatever it works out best for you. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon on the top before baking for little bit sweeter if you want to! :)

Bake it at 425 degree for 20 to 25 minutes. Insert the knife to see if it comes out clean then it's all ready to cool it off..

Enjoy this! :)
