Low Sugar Fig Jam & Apple Chips

This post is brought to you by Bare Snacks, but all words and eats are my own. Thanks for supporting the sponsors that keep me hungry!

Three ingredient fig jam made with fresh figs, lemon, and a drizzle of maple syrup. The perfect fall spread to top on toast, warm oatmeal, or yogurt bowls.

It’s getting colder, but I still haven’t turned on the heat in my place.

I wake up to a cool 68 degree living room, where I stumble to the couch, swaddle myself in blankets, and do my morning journaling while sipping on a matcha latte.

I kind of like it.

Lately I’ve been working on reducing my energy consumption.

Yep, I’ve been giving the dial knob on my Nest thermostat a bit of a breather.

Like not heating and cooling to a perfect 72 degrees, but instead ebbing and flowing with the changing fall temperatures.

This means embracing chilly mornings with sweaters and long pants and warmer afternoons with open windows and tank tops.

I’ve found a nice surrender and presence in accepting and adapting to the weather outside the window.

Ah, autumn.

I’ve also been embracing all of the seasonal fall produce, like fresh figs and apples.

This Low Sugar Fig Jam & Apple Chips is the naturally sweet fall snack that you need this fall!

Maple Pear Butter & Apple Chips

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

4-ingredient pear butter made with fresh pears, lemon, and cinnamon lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup. Great to use up lots of fall pears!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m a bit obsessed with fruit spreads and butters.

It all started with my classic Pumpkin Apple Butter, but I’ve since branched into all sorts of fruity flavors.

You might remember that over the summer we did a Blueberry Butter and Peach Butter that squealed “summer!” every time I spooned them onto seeded bread.

With the temperatures quickly cooling, I couldn’t stop thinking about more autumn-inspired spreads.

Sure, summer is great for bright fruity jams, but fall is the season to stand over the stovetop with warming fruits and spice.

I couldn’t get the concept of pear butter out of my head after seeing thick golden jars of the stuff at a local farmer’s market.

So I made this Maple Pear Butter that’s fruit forward, smooth and cinnamon-y, and perfectly sweet but refined sugar-free.

It’s all of your fall feels in a 12 oz. Ball Jar.

You just need four simple ingredients and a seasonal chip for dipping!

Spicy Black Bean Hummus & Banana Chips

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Elevate your snacking with this spicy black bean hummus paired with sweet baked banana chips! Perfect for a healthy plant-based snack.

My girlfriends and I have a group text chain we use to keep each other moving, healthy, and inspired during the week.

We chat meal prep, scheduled workouts, water consumption, running goals, and a smattering of wildly appropriate gifs.

If my phone starts buzzing at 6 AM, I know who’s on the other side of the frantic beeps.

A few weeks ago, in said text chain, my girlfriend posed the question, “Best afternoon snack ideas- GO.”

Since food is kind of my job, I felt inclined to go all out.

“Chia pudding, celery and peanut butter, yogurt and granola, raw bar, carrots and hummus…”

I typed a stream of consciousness of safe snacks without pausing.

Then I stopped and looked at my list and thought….my snacking could really use some upgrading.

If you’re not a believer in group text chains, this Spicy Black Bean Hummus & Banana Chips will make you one.

It’s a snack combo that you won’t want to miss, complete with a protein packed black bean dip and no-sugar-added chips!

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

2-Ingredient Roasted Peanut-Cashew Butter & Banana Chips without any added oils or sugars. Try this combination for a fun nutritious snack.

I’m home.

My bulging carry-on was promptly flagged for a search at the security checkpoint at LAX on the way home to VA.

The officer doing the searching laughed incredulously when he unzipped my suitcase to find heaps of bars, bites, and snacks from Expo West.

“Munchies,” he said over and over, smirking. “Can’t argue with that.”

I tried to explain that I had just been at a food conference, feeling mildly defensive like I needed to explain myself and my bushel of bars.

But really, does one ever need to explain traveling with precious delicious cargo?

When we got home, I had every energy bar not yet sold in stores but I didn’t have a simple jar of peanut butter, so I decided to make my own.

Let’s blend up this 2-Ingredient Roasted Peanut-Cashew Butter that’s the perfect easy intro to nut-buttering.

It’s perfection on banana chips for the ultimate 3-ingredient snack!

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy oil-free kale chips with a vegan “cheese” sauce made in just eight ingredients! Perfect for a nutritious snack– you won’t be able to eat just one!

I’m writing this post in a different spot, friends.

Harper is to my right and the window is to my left and I’ve got my new Apple Music weekly playlist going.

Why am I telling you this?

Well, I’ve been working lately on trying to increase my productivity and creativity.

It seems like the sweet spot (for me) is a delicate hybrid of routine and change.

This means lugging my laptop to new locations to hopefully see things (eats) in a new perspective.

Kind of like these kale chips.

A classic, right?

Yes, but I bet you’ve never had them quite like this– with a salty sweet Miso Twist!

These “Cheezy” Miso Kale Chips are so easy to blend up with only eight ingredients and even easier to watch disappear with one hand.

Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip muffins with superfine almond flour, oat flour, and vegan chocolate chips. Perfect for a sweet snack!

I first made these Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins the day before we went to pick up Flora.

Luckily, I had the foresight to do some hefty meal prep because we brought the new pup home.

These muffins were a recipe founded on a craving in the midst of packing pee pads and toys and two sizes of crates (we weren’t sure which would fit!).

I had no idea how the muffins turned out as I threw them in the car for a healthy snack along with our Tupperware lunch and multiple Nalgene water bottles.

Our Aussie pup was a long 4 hour car ride away, but it was worth every mile.

About an hour before we scooped her up, I unwrapped a muffin from it’s liner and sunk my teeth in.

There weren’t a lot of things at this particular moment that could excite me more than the prospect of meeting my new doggie, but these muffins came close.

They’re fluffy, moist, and dotted with the perfect amount of dark chocolate.

“Oh my god. These are SO good!” I turned towards M in the driver seat, excitedly waving my muffin missing a big bite.

(M agreed later in the week that the muffins were indeed, delicious!)

It was a pleasant surprise and pick-me-up right before the biggest surprise of the year:

Meeting our Australian Shepherd girlie named Flora, who melted our heart at first glance, lick, and sometimes even now, affectionate nip.

I’m so excited to share these Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins with you this fall!

They’re the perfect sweet snack to fuel you for back-to-school adventures, whether that is with or without four legged fur babies.

Black Bean Taco Salad

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Black Bean Taco Salad for one made with romaine lettuce, black beans, avocado, and raw veggies with a creamy garlic cashew dressing.

I’m not sure when it happened, but I am suddenly a fantasy (romantacy???) reader.

It all started when my bookclub selected ACOTAR for our April read and, like so many of you and the entirety of BookTok, I became obsessed.

The series quickly became my summer staple, and I devoured all 5 books in the series with a voracity that I haven’t felt since my Harry Potter days.

Since then, I moved on to the world of Fourth Wing, where I’m about half way done with Iron Flame (Book 2).

After realizing that Book 3 won’t be out for a while, I did my research and have another fantasy series lined up next, per your suggestions from Instagram.

When I asked what to read next, 100% of you said The Serpent & The Wing of Night.

I didn’t even question it; I downloaded the series on my Kindle immediately.

So, yeah…I like fantasy.

Who knew?

M, apparently, who is sitting smugly beside me while reading, saying, “I told you so!”

He’s always been a self proclaimed fantasy lover, while I’ve always been a self proclaimed fiction and non-fiction lover.

I always felt like if the story line wasn’t based in reality, it was hard for me to connect with the characters.

It was hard for me to IMAGINE.

But lately, all I want to do is pick up my Kindle and dive into a world of my mind’s creation, one that serves as a welcome escape.

Something else I’ve been escaping into lately is this Black Bean Taco Salad.

It’s so easy to meal prep for the week ahead made with romaine lettuce, black beans, avocado, and raw veggies with a creamy garlic cashew dressing.

This means you have more time for reading on the couch with your fantasy friends!

8 Favorite Fig Recipes

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

8 of my favorite fig recipes to celebrate the transition from late summer to early fall! Incudes both savory and sweet fig recipes!

It’s been a wild (almost) two weeks since becoming dog mom to Flora, our Australian Shepherd puppy.

Yes, it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun, but it also flies when you’re busy AF.

Flora has us in a new routine of getting to bed early and getting up even earlier, which I like more than I thought I would.

Between puppy training (read: watching Flora repeatedly get the zoomies), brainstorming fall recipes, and big yoga moves, it’s been a busy August so far.

Let my update you on my yoga.

Last weekend I attended a Restorative Yoga Workshop so that I can begin incorporating restorative yoga into my teaching.

I also recently started teaching yoga on a weekly basis (every Saturday!).

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that having my very own class has been a goal of mine since graduating from YTT.

So I’m super excited at the opportunity to teach more frequently.

Some other milestones to celebrate this past week are:

Flora had her first taste of peanut butter and is obsessed,
M and I took Flora to her first coffee drive-through,
and I found fresh digs at the super market.

Ah, figs. Which brings us to today’s collection of recipes that I have for you.

I love them so much, even if they have a weird origin.

Something about a wasp dying inside the the fig to pollinate them? Google it.

Either way, they’re delicious, and I’m excited to eat them for the next few months.

This recipe round up includes 8 of my favorite fig recipes to celebrate the transition from late summer to early fall!
