in #food6 years ago

Greetings fellow steem and food lovers. Today I have some exciting news to share with you. It's been more than a year that I decided to stop eating meat, fish and other animal products. It wasn't so hard as I was a happy and healthy flexitarian before, eating meat or fish in about 2 to 3 meals a week.

If I look back on more than a year of vegan cooking I can proudly say I have grown so much and I am still discovering new vegan kitchen hacks every day. Last night's vegan quiche was a great and new addition to my vegan and gluten-free cooking skills.

Next to being vegan, grain-free, gluten-free. egg-free, and dairy-free, this yummy treat is high in tissue and muscle-building protein too!

And what's even better it is super easy and quick to make. Perfect weeknight dinner to the whole family will enjoy. Definitely going to make this more often.

This is my kind of quiche. So colorful and anything with pumpkin, I'm sold. How come you also stopped eating grains?

Thanks ;) We didn't but we have always been limiting grains to one dish a day as gluten are believed to be bad for my hubby when eaten in large amounts. He has an auto-immune disease.

Definitely very easy yet delicious and highly nutritious.................great recipe Amy, must try for sure 🌸💖🌸

Thanks Lena! I am sure you will love this one. Enjoy the rest of the week!

I am sure I will Amy and have a wonderful weekend too 🌸💖🌸

People think that being vegan is boring and finding something to eat is hard but this recipe proves that these are wrong!

Thanks my friend and you are absolutely right. To be honest, ever since I embarked on a plant-based lifestyle my cooking has become so excited. So much more creativity can go into these dishes. Have a love;y day and thanks for stopping by!
