Spinach and Ricotta Triangles

It's been a while since I've had chance to do anything blog worthy... Rory and I went home for Christmas and despite the temptation to use that opportunity where yellow lemons were plentiful to make Lemon Meringue Pie, I just never got around to it. Not that I spent 4 weeks having other people cook for me, but there wasn't really the time for creative cooking. Rather we had 4 weeks of enjoying all those things that we miss most and dining on Christmas-time favourites.


I'm back into the swing now, until I go back to work on Monday, so here's another item crossed off the list. Which reminds me I really must get around to updating my list...
