That's not how it was supposed to be . . .

As most of you know, my cozy mysteries include recipes.  Angelica was cooking and I needed something for her to make.  I thought it might be nice to include a vegetarian dish for my readers, so out came one of my favorite vegetarian cookbooks.

Broccoli-Feta-Pie I selected a recipe (helpful when these books have gorgeous photography) and read it over to decide how to make it mine.  It featured filo dough, broccoli, and feta cheese.  Hmm.  I'm not a big fan of broccoli mixed with cheese, and I'm REALLY not fond of feta cheese.  Well, I needed to make the recipe my own anyway right?

So, out went the feta.  But wait, I thought why keep the broccoli when I prefer onions and peppers.  And if it needs cheese to bind it, why not use mozzerella?  And since onions, peppers and mozzerella sound like a pizza, why not add sausage to the mix?

Pizza2 So much for my good intenions on a nice vegetarian recipe.

Hitting the grocery store later today to buy the ingredients as I intend to test the recipe to make sure it works for the book. 

I'll let you know how it works out.

  1. It sounds very tasty without the sausage, and then you keep the vegetarians happy! I think I just revised my dinner plans, too...

  2. AAAAAh! Sounds great to me. Vegies are great but I like at least a dab of meat somewhere on my plate next to them :-D
