Vegetable Tian


As we were riding home from Maryland this weekend I was scrolling through Pinterest looking for new recipes. Why not make the most of your 5 hour drive when you can't go food shopping or meal prep .. at least you can make your shopping list with your meal plan. That is exactly what I did on the way home, but you know when you type in "clean eating recipes" thousands of amazing dishes. You must narrow it down or you will be on forever. I wanted to try to do something different, something without meat. There was my narrowed down search "veggie" dishes, which is how I came across this recipe.
