Carb Overload :( And a Yummy Recipe

I've been in a classroom for the past two days, work-related training class.  Meals were included but...very high carb so my diet took a dive unfortunately.  Need to get back on track!  Came across this great recipe that I can't wait to try out :) 

Enjoy!!!

Spinach Ricotta Casserole
Recipe from George Stella’s Still Livin’ Low Carb Cookbook 

SHOPPING LIST
Cooking oil spray
16 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 1⁄2 cups ricotta cheese
1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 large eggs, beaten until frothy
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 1 1⁄2 quart casserole dish with cooking oil and layer the bottom evenly with the drained spinach.

2. In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients until combined. Pour mixture into the spinach lined dish.

3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until slightly browned around the edges and center is firm to touch. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil and diced tomatoes, if desired.
