Food brings people together - no matter how far apart you are. This recipe was posted by my friend Shelley who moved to Israel in the early 80's. Fast forward a few decades and continents and thanks to Facebook I can see what she's up to and what she's been eating. And it's all healthy!
Shelley eats grain-free and created this delicious quiche.
