lasagna & peach tart

My mum asked me to make dinner for the family earlier this week. I came up with a yummy light calorie main course and dessert! 

 Here are the cristinies I made for appetizers. I eyed the measurements and used my sisters recipe, which included:

Sourdough baguette (Acme goes well with this combination)

Salted Butter

Olive Oil 

Koser Salt

Parsley 

Garlic 

*I use this for large and small batches, it's fairly easy to know how much to use by the amount of bread you have. 

Cut the baguette into thin slices and place on cookie sheet. The butter, olive oil, salt, parsley and garlic should be placed in a mini Cuisinart. Chop until spreadable state. Next use a cooking brush to paint the baguette slices thoroughly. Then place the crisitines in the oven at 250 and watch until they turn a light golden after after a few minutes. 

I used this No-Bake Summer Lasagna recipe from Martha Stewart's Everyday Light Food cook book. It was simple and quick to make, and was very satisfying on a relaxing summer day. It included zucchini, tomatoes, ricotta, parmesan, basil, and lasagna noodles.  Serves 4.

From the same cookbook I made another simple & delicious summer meal. This Rustic Nectarine Tart went perfectly with the lasagna as a dessert. It was light, yet very satisfying. I used store bought puff pastry, nectarines, red currant jam, and the lemon sugar my mum made! 

bon appetit!
