Spicy Cauliflower & Mushroom Quiche

So I thought, I'll share three food-ish facts about me. You get to know me, hopefully you'll share some facts about yourself, so I get to know you.



1: I love cheese (understatement really). Anybody who knows me, knows my love for cheese. Of course judging from this blog, you might not really see that obsession. But that's because I really don't need a recipe for cheese. I tend to eat straight out of the packaging.

2: I  have a serious aversion for red jelly/jam like substances. Any one in the health care field may be familiar with the term "red currant jelly sputum."  I had the opportunity to examine it up close. It is exactly as it describes. Red bloody foul smelling sputum. I will not care to expand any further. Bye-bye peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

3: And now for the bombshell of an admission. I cannot smell. I know! Few years back, I had a fall and hit my head pretty bad. Suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost my sense of smell. So grateful it's only my smell. So cooking deliciousness and being a self-claimed foodie sometimes comes with its own challenges.
 
Now if you are wondering, what does all this have to do with Cauliflower Quiche? Well like almost all my other posts- Nothing, but everything really. Hope you enjoy!
