I made these savory cakes for one of my meat free Monday’s and they tasted light and fluffy due to the ricotta cheese. This recipe makes about 18 cakes depending on how big you like them. Use any leftovers for breakfast or lunch the next day with a salad. You are getting in your leafy greens here so plenty of B vitamins which are know to prevent mood disorders, including depression. So don’t allow Monday’s to get you down….
