  1. These look yummy and pretty simple to make! Hubby and I are trying to eat vegan during the week, but this would be a quick and healthy meal to make on weekends. Thanks for sharing!

    1. I hope you enjoy it. Most of my recipes are vegetarian, so do take a look at some others. I am a huge fan of halloumi and recommend you try this one. It’s butternut squash and halloumi and it’s delicious! https://wp.me/p9vr4E-dc
