June 26, 2015: vegan Friday

Thanks to an epidemic of bird flu, it seems that eggs are becoming more expensive these days. We won't notice this price increase at our house; I follow a vegan diet, and Bryan is vegetarian. The only eggs we eat come from our friend Ann's chickens. Ann takes care of Cookie on days when we both work all day. When Ann's chickens offer up a surplus of eggs, she leaves a dozen in our refrigerator. Bryan thoroughly enjoys them.

There are many ways to replace eggs in vegan cooking, depending on what it is you're cooking (I may address this matter more in another post). A couple of years ago I found this amazing recipe for sun-dried tomato, mushroom, and spinach quiche on the Oh She Glows website. This quiche is a favorite supper at our house, and it has received rave reviews at more than one church potluck. In addition to being vegan, it's gluten-free.
