Recipe: Red Pepper and Goats Cheese Tart
Wednesday, 6 April 2016
It has been literally forever since I shared a recipe post! Wel not literally but you know what I mean. The main reason for that is that for most of last year I was a vegan, I spoke about how easy being vegan actually was, shared some tips, and some easy recipes, and thought I had well and truly signed up to that diet. And then... I ate some cake... and then I ate some cheese... and then I started drinking breakfast tea with milk in again... and then I ate meat and I stopped being vegan, but didn't really know how to admit that.
Part of me felt guilty, part of me felt confused, and part of me was embarrassed. I didn't want to be another one of those people who 'was a vegan for a while' but the truth is I am one of those people. I had a label and now I don't. I thought if all of a sudden I started sharing pictures of none vegan food on instagram, or shared a recipe with you that contained milk I'd some how be some sort of hypocrite. And then I realised that hiding what I was eating was even worse! Even if I'd stopped telling people I was a vegan and even though I dn't ost about being vegan anymore, keeping quiet about it some how felt fraudulent.
So here I am, revealing the truth. I no longer subscribe to any one diet. And yes I get questions and 'knowing' looks from people when they suddenly see that my plate isn't full of just veg, but more and more I'm realising, that unless it is a doctor or a nutritionist, it really is nobody elses business what I'm having for dinner.
I'm still trying to work out whether or not I want to subscribe to any one given diet, and my thoughts and feelings on that are probably a whole other post, but in the mean time I am enjoying trying new things, cooking whatever the hec I like, and just getting back into the kitchen. So with all that in mind here is a super easy and delicous recipe for a Red Pepper and Goats Cheese tart I knocked up for tea one night last week.
