HEALTHY BLUEBERRY-RICOTTA TARTLETS
News flash: Dessert can be the perfect place to add calcium to your diet. We did just that by using ricotta cheese in these sweet little tartlets. (Eight percent of your daily value, so not too shabby!) The apricot jam does double duty: As a sweetener for the ricotta plus as a glaze for the berries.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse together all-purpose flour, finely ground blanched almonds, toasted wheat germ, light brown sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder. Add cold, unsalted butter, and process until largest pieces are the size of small peas. With machine running, add low-fat buttermilk until dough just holds together. Pat into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges flush with pan and prick holes in dough with fork. Freeze for 15 minutes. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove parchment and weights and bake until golden brown and dry, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let cool.
- Puree part-skim ricotta with 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon honey. Spread into cooled shell. Stir 2 tablespoons honey gently into blueberries and arrange on top of tart. Chill for 2 hours.

- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Place tequila, Triple sec, lime juice, blue curacao, and sugar in shaker, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Fill prepared glasses with ice cubes. Strain the margarita into the glasses, and serve immediately.
