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.
