The green veggies are in honour of Saint Patrick’s Day, and for my blended household–made up of an older son who is now a pescatarian, an elderly mom whose on a strict diet because of her arthritis, a teen who eats everything that’s in the fridge at midnight, a hubby who goes for walks around the neighborhood every hour, and me, who just wants to please everybody…I’ve covered just about everybody with this no-crust, savory tart. With plenty of veggies to go around, and no carbs to boot!
*Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
