Inna’s Culinary Inventions

Eating green things in our home is a battle. Usually, I have to hide vegetables in other foods or disguise them so that Francis won’t see that they’re vegetables. I, on the other hand, being a vegetarian, love my fruits and vegetables and can eat them every day.

This recipe combined my love of vegetables and Francis’s love of cheese, so a win-win situation. Though I did endure a battle wound while making them (a splash of oil from the skillet managed to leave a really nice blister on my finger for a few days), I think it was worth it. The picture of them  isn’t the best, but hey, at least you can see somewhat the pretty flowers Francis got me for finishing my first year of medical school?
