Cashew Butter Soba Noodle Stir Fry

Simple stir-fry with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!

Lately I’ve been struggling with persistent nightmares.

It’s a little funny that at the ripe old age of 32, I’m plagued by bad dreams.

I wake up in bed, whimpering and writhing, uncertain what’s real and what’s a twisted tall-tale told by my subconscious.

Sometimes I say things, too, the words heavy like cement on my lips as I thrust them out in slurred sentences.

Occasionally I remember what was so terrifying– a loved one leaving, being chased by bad guys, or a new classic, finding myself in a crowded public space without a mask.

What never gets old, though, is the very real relief I feel after realizing that the dream was just a dream.

My reality instantly feels like something worth cherishing and celebrating, like something I’m seriously grateful to wake up to.

So, I’m blaming my less than restful beauty sleep on stress.

Yeah, it’s a little nerve-wracking running a business and writing a cookbook.

I know you’re probably busy, too, starting 2021.

So let me make dinner easy, comforting, and nutritious for us, OK?

Easy orange chickpea stir fry with veggies and fresh squeezed orange served over fluffy cauliflower rice. Perfect for meal prep dinners!

Do you like your dinners hot?

With the weather getting warmer, I haven’t felt like turning the oven on quite as much.

In fact, last night I had a gigantic salad for dinner, noshing on My Go To Kale Salad while Dan searched the DVR for shows.

Who am I?!

Typically, though, no matter the season, I equate dinner with a warm meal.

So I’ve recently rediscovered my love of a good stir fry– quick, easy, flavorful, and packed with as many veggies as you can fit in the skillet.

This Easy Orange Chickpea Stir Fry comes together in 20 minutes for a quick flavorful plate that’s spicy and naturally sweet!

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry with mushrooms served over quinoa. Perfect for meal prep and easy weeknight dinners.

Happy Sunday, friends!

I’m writing to you from the road today.

I just finished up at Expo West and Dan and I are on the road to Napa (Napa!!!) for the next few days to take a mini vacation before heading back to Virginia.

Being away from home for a week is kind of a big deal to me.

I crave an idealistically long, spontaneous, unrehearsed getaway…but I’m also craving a protein-packed bowl.

In my kitchen.

You know???

I’ve come to accept that I’m a homebody, while realizing the value in continually making the decision to do things outside of my comfort zone.

Like traveling across the country and refraining from packing the kitchen sink.

I always enter our condo post-vacation filled with the most acute appreciation for my kitchen and everything it.

The minute I got home, as soon as I dawn my favorite pajama pants, I’m making this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry.

It comes together in 10 minutes with simple ingredients for an easy plant-based power bowl that’s perfect for weeknight meals and meal prep!

Sesame Shiitake & Broccoli Stir-Fry

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Sesame Shiitake & Broccoli Stir-fry with dried shiitake mushrooms and broccoli in sesame sauce served over rice or your favorite grains.

A girlfriend and I switch off and on houses working remotely together.

Sometimes it’s challenging to schedule, but whenever we make it happen, I’m always *so* grateful for the change in scenery.

Last Friday I brought my laptop and planners to her place and worked at her kitchen table.

There’s something about working somewhere different that always kicks starts my creativity and motivation.

I need to remember this, I thought to myself, as I checked boxes off of my TO-DO list at an unusually quick pace.

And really I have our WFH session to thank for this Sesame Shiitake & Broccoli Stir-Fry recipe.

We brainstormed ways to use dried mushrooms after a lunchtime walk in her neighborhood.

What I finally came up with is this delicious stir-fry made with dried shiitake mushrooms and vegetables in a sticky sesame sauce over rice.

It’s better tasting and probably quicker to make than calling in takeout!

Soba Noodle Stir-Fry with White Wine Garlic Sauce

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Soba noodle stir-fry with white wine, garlic, lemon, and fresh vegetables. Ready in under 30 minutes for an elevated meal paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Are you an April Fools jokester?

I played the *best* April Fool’s joke on M this year and I’m pretty proud of myself.

I filled an empty jar of his favorite cashew butter with tahini and waited for him to drizzle it all over his usual breakfast bowl.

He did, of course, and called me on April Fool’s Day to ask why the cashew butter tasted so bitter and roasted.

To which I replied, “Well, that’s probably because it’s actually an entire jar tahini…”

He was slightly speechless, friends.

To his credit, he continued to eat the entire breakfast bowl, anyway, tahini drizzle and all.

Jokes aside, I have a new pasta recipe for you that’s fresh, fun, and elevated.

This Soba Noodle Stir-Fry with White Wine Garlic Sauce is ready in under 30 minutes.

It’s begging to be paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Thai Quinoa & Cashew Stir-Fry

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy plant-based stir-fry with cooked quinoa, fresh vegetables, and crushed cashews. Perfect for a quick 10 minute weeknight meal.

I love how days feel sort of endless in summer, you know?

Longer days mean lazier later dinners.

To be honest, I’m usually throwing things together in a pan while Dan and Harper are unwinding on the couch around 8 PM.

“Mmm…what’s for dinner?” he’ll ask curiously, as things start to sizzle and pop and smell inviting on the stovetop.

“Er…” I say, trying to think of a creative name for what truly is a bit of everything left in the fridge served stir-fried.

Well, now I’ve got a name now for this clean-out-the-fridge creation.

This is a Thai Quinoa & Cashew Stir-Fry and you need it on your recipe repertoire!…

Pumpkin Chickpea Curry

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Pumpkin Chickpea Curry made in 1-pot with pumpkin, coconut milk, vegetables, and chickpeas. A cozy curry for cold weather!

Now that we’re looking into February, it’s a good time to assess where you fall with your new years intentions.

So, how’s it going?

In some areas, I feel like I’m crushing it, and in others, eh, let’s talk about that in March. 🙂

Lately I’ve been checking in with my girlfriends to make plans together for the year, share goals, and keep each other accountable.

They say it takes 21-days to form a habit, right?

If so, I’m currently in the habit of making a big pot of soup for the week ahead.

Even I think we don’t *need* the extra food, we *always* eat it.

In the winter months, I find re-heating a bowl of soup is such a satisfying and cozy lunch.

It’s one that I always appreciate mid-day when I’m typing on my computer with chilly fingers.

This Pumpkin Chickpea Curry is my current favorite soup obsession.

I love adding pumpkin to this recipe because it makes the texture thick and velvety.

It’s made in 1-pot with pumpkin, coconut milk, vegetables, and chickpeas.

It’s an easy, cozy, and customizable curry for cold weather!

SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Cozy SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls made with rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables in a delicious SunButter sauce. Serve with optional tofu!

Hi friends!

Amidst all of the holiday sides and festive cookies and cakes, I’d like to share with you a cozy dinner to break up the sameness.

I think it’s important to have a few easy cozy dishes on repeat during this season when things can be so joyous yet so hectic.

This recipe was born on a Friday evening; the best time to get a party started.

Usually on Friday nights we have either A. pizza, or B. something new and elevated that we make together.

This recipe is obviously not pizza, so it fell in the later category of Friday night dinners.

We didn’t have a lot to work with that evening, but we managed to turn that ancient package of Ramen from the cupboard into something amazing.

These SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls are made with rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables in a delicious SunButter sauce.

Serve them with optional tofu and enjoy this meal any time you’re craving noodles.

Sesame Tahini Soba Noodles

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Soba noodle bowl with sesame, tahini, broccolini, and edamame. Ready in under 30 minutes for a cozy better-than-takeout plant-based meal.

It feels like M and I have been away more this fall than we’ve been home!

I can’t complain, because it’s all good things filling up our calendar.

This past weekend we were near Charlottesville, VA, exploring the outdoors and celebrating one of my friends’ birthdays.

We hiked Humpback Rocks and visited some local breweries and good eats all while staying at a beautiful B&B.

We arrived home last night and stuffed our suitcases up in the attic storage until next year.

As much as I loved all of our travels from this past year, I’m equally excited to cozy up at home until 2023.

That’s not to say that we don’t have things planned– there’s holiday parties and game nights and social engagements on the horizon, for sure.

But they’re all day trips and events that will find us sleeping in our own bed at the end of the day.

The temperature also dropped about 20 degrees this weekend, from the mild 60’s to the much chillier 40’s.

So I’m ready to make all of the cozy comforting food until it’s time to bring out the holiday menu.

This Sesame Tahini Soba Noodles is the quickest, most comforting meal I’ve made in a while.

It’s ready in under 30 minutes for a cozy better-than-takeout plant-based meal!

Hiiiiiii, I know I’ve been quiet lately, friends.

I’ve been shying away from the social spotlight.

Letting my stories go blank on Instagram; content without sharing serial snapshots from my daily life.

Relishing in the my own architected anonymity.

At first I was concerned.

What does it mean if I’m not constantly sharing?

Well, it means I’m making leaps and bounds behind the scenes.

Preparing for a cookbook launch, making my new house a home with M, and doing personal and professional work to undo old habits and mindsets and shift to new ones.

I feel a lot like a caterpillar at the moment, curled up in cocoon awaiting a miraculous metamorphosis.

You know what else undergoes a metamorphosis that is effortlessly natural?

Tempeh, in this new recipe I have to share with you today.
