Happy New Year Food Finders!

My new motto for the blog for 2019 is “Lighten Up” across all areas of our lives, from lighter foods, funny diet humor, ways to lighten your mood, and just not take things so seriously all around. I want people to come to this blog and feel like they can relax and get a few minutes break from the whirlwind of daily life. Happy New Year!

The perfect way to begin to Lighten Up this year is with this fun, colorful, crustless quiche that’s loaded with protein and antioxidant rich vegetables. This dairy free and gluten free quiche is perfect for a weekend brunch to start your year off right!

I love making this quiche during the first week of the new year as the perfect “get back on track” dish after the indulgences of the holiday season. This meal will definitely help you lighten up, keep you energized, and make those resolutions easy to stick to!
