Recipe of the Week

My son LOVES to cook, and found this recipe on WholeFoodsMarket.com over the weekend. He's also become quite the grillmaster, so we threw a couple of ears of corn on the grill, and whipped it up in minutes! It was absolutely delish! The great part is that it's gluten-free (you gotta try it out, Bets!) and vegetarian too!

P.S. We did one minor deviation from the original recipe in that we never add salt and pepper to a dish - we add it to taste on our own individual portions, and we skipped the ricotta salata. Enjoy!
