Submitted by Melanie B.

"When my husband and I made the commitment to eat healthier, breakfast became a much bigger part our lives. I love to experiment with low cal, low fat breakfasts that fill you up for the morning. This one I created when going through my "I love Ricotta cheese" phase...and had some garden ingredients to use."
