Vegan and the Out of Town Guests

Hummmm, what to make when you need a lot of food and the people you are cooking for eat meat, diary and eggs, and you are trying not to.

I now have my standby for when I need a generous amount of food that is tasty and does not appear Vegan.

Fiesta Bake from Everyday Happy Herbivore cookbook, written by Lindsay Nixon.

It is cheap, easy and quick to make.  Perfect for a house full of people.

Fiesta Bake reheats really well.
