Creamy Ricotta Cake with Tomato Relish

Do you love tomatoes?

Me too!  They're like my favorite.  I could eat them everyday.  This day, I was craving pizza.  mmmm  Why is pizza also so delicious?  Well, this recipe isn't pizza.  But it also isn't 600-1000 calories like pizza can be.  But this recipe does give you a certain pizza quality that will satisfy a pizza craving.  

 

This recipe makes a perfect light lunch with a nice side salad.  So good.  Ok I'm going to stop talking, because you should make this.  Like now.  Go!  The tell me how it was!
