Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta

Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta made with chickpea pasta with almond milk, marinara sauce, and nutritional yeast for an easy dinner.

Do you ever feel like making dinner is the hardest thing you do all day?

Sometimes it feels like that for me, and friends, I create food content for a living.

Really I think the “hard factor” comes from the decision fatigue of food options as opposed to the actual cook time, you know?

After a long day, the last thing you want to is learn a new recipe, test new ingredients, or dirty every pot you own.

So lately I’ve been focusing on getting back to classic recipes that allow me to think less about food, if that makes sense.

The shorter the ingredient list, the better!

I’ve been keeping a 1-pot pasta from you for several years now, and I think it’s the perfect opportunity to share.

This Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta is made with chickpea pasta, almond milk, marinara, and nutritional yeast for an easy dinner.

You can make it as elevated or basic as you’d like by adding or subtracting garnishes and sides.

Either way, you’re guaranteed a healthy meal that’s ready in 1-pot in 10 minutes.

Think how much of your precious brain space that frees up!

Single Serve Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

The perfect recipe when you need a solo chocolate cookie fast. This almond flour cookie is grain-free and packed with dark chocolate chunks!

When I was little I used to tell myself that someday I was going to find an amazing person who was going to love me like a rom-com script.

“Someday, someone is going to love you SO MUCH,” I chanted like a mantra while staring my brown eyes down in the bathroom mirror.

I thought that achieving that kind of adoration from another human being meant that I had achieved something great, that I was something good, that I was enough.

And, actually, I’ve been fortunate enough to love and be loved by some incredible people in my life so far.

Partners, best friends, and family.

So there has been no shortage of love and affection in my life and I’m so grateful for the opportunities to learn and grow from each relationship.

But what I realized recently is that maybe that singular person that I promised myself when I was young isn’t going to come.

Because maybe that person is already with me.

I love you, M, but the person that I’m talking about is…me!

It’s both empowering and a little embarrassing to realize that maybe she’s been there all along, cheering, comforting, and constant.

This Valentine’s Day, take some time to celebrate you!

Instead of looking for external validation to feel good, great, and enough, let’s create that dialogue internally.

I don’t know about you, but treating myself to something chocolate and sweet is one of my favorite ways to say to myself, “I freaking love chocolate (and you)”.

This Single Serve Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie is the perfect recipe when you need a solo chocolate cookie fast.

It has an almond flour base and is made entirely grain-free and gluten-free and packed with dark chocolate chunks!

Happy Valentine’s Day, boo, the person you’ve been waiting for is you, and the cookie you’ve been waiting for is this one.

Raspberry Chia Pudding

By Flora & Vino 8 Comments

Raspberry Chia Pudding with fresh raspberries and soaked chia seeds naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect to prep for a quick snack!

February means a few things to most of us: the shortest month of the year and Valentine’s Day!

Oh, and groundhog’s day.

(Did he see his shadow this year???)

My favorite part about Valentine’s Day is the excuse to make pink variations of all of my favorite foods.

Well, aside from the chocolate.

Raspberries are a favorite of mine for V-Day because they look beautiful and (spoiler alert) they turn a pretty pink color when blended.

If you’re looking for something pink to make this Valentine’s Day, try out this Raspberry Chia Pudding.

It’s made with fresh raspberries and soaked chia seeds naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Try preparing it for a quick snack or breakfast for the week ahead!

Vegan Carrot Cake Moon Pies

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Vegan Carrot Cake Moon Pies made with carrot cake cookies sandwiched with a vegan cream cheese filling. Perfect for a spring dessert!

Is anyone else spring dreaming right about now?!

While I do my best to stay in the moment and appreciate the beauty of every season, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited for warmer weather.

My first ever cake was a carrot cake, AKA the cake my parents got me that my grubby one-year-old hands tore apart orange piece by piece.

So carrot cake reminds me of my birthday, spring, and the promise of warmer days.

We’re still a little ways away from sunscreen and flip flops and floppy beach hats, but let me distract you with my latest and greatest.

I made Vegan Carrot Cake Moon Pies for upcoming National Carrot Cake Day!

These Vegan Carrot Cake Moon Pies are made with hearty carrot cake cookies sandwiched with a vegan cream cheese filling.

They’re perfect for a spring (or spring dreaming) dessert!

Chocolate Stovetop Oats

Chocolate Stovetop Oats made with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for a cozy breakfast ready in 10 minutes.

2024 had been testing me already, friends.

As if getting sick last week wasn’t enough of an obstacle, the universe decided that my oven needed to go this week, too.

Yes, this week we said RIP to my oven, that’s seen more F&V recipes that I can count come out of its belly.

I’m grateful that we have a new one ordered and on the way with a delivery scheduled by the weekend.

But for the interim, I’m oven-less in Maryland.

Originally I was going to share a baked oatmeal recipe with you, but I’m kind of glad that the oven situation twisted my arm to make my oats on the stovetop.

Because its lack gave birth to my gain.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Chocolate Stovetop Oats.

I realized going through F&V oat archives that we don’t yet have a chocolate oatmeal recipe.

Finally, a problem in 2024 that I can fix!!!

These super creamy and chocolate-y oats are made on the stovetop in just 10 minutes then topped with seasonal favorites.

Ditch the oven and get old school with me and let’s make Chocolate Stovetop Oats.

10 immunity boosting recipes to support your wellness this winter season. Incorporate these delicious recipes and stay well!

Everyone that I know is sick right now, including yours truly.

Yeah, there’s a lot of gross stuff going around right now.

I thought maybe I’d met my “sick” quota after being sick while traveling, but M and I promptly came down with something the day after arriving home.

There’s nothing like the stress of traveling to lower your immunity and pick up all the germs, right?

So right now I’m focusing on being well like it’s my J-O-B.

I’m taking my probiotics, I’m eating my vitamin gummies, and I’m drinking water, kombucha, and hot tea.

It’s hard because I had visions of jumping right back into work after being home, but the universe is forcing me into the dreaded “r” word.

Rest.

Honestly, I actually had a completely different recipe planned to share with you today, but I think we (read: I) need some immunity boosting a little more.

I did a little research on some foods that can help support immunity, and many of the foods are ones I enjoy on a regular basis!

I rounded up 10 recipes that each include an ingredient(s) that will help keep you well as we make our way through the depths of winter.

Bookmark this recipe roundup whenever you need a little wellness boost.

Let me know what you try, and please, stay well, friends!

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

10 vegan protein packed breakfasts or snacks to energize your day. Incorporate your favorite plant-based protein powder for an extra boost!

How’s your new year treating you so far?

Today I’m traveling home from Iceland after a month-long holiday in Europe!

While I had a beautiful trip, I’m *very* excited to get back to my kitchen to make some delicious recipes.

I never have trouble finding fresh vegetables during my travels, but finding a vegan source of protein is usually the sticking point.

Usually I lean on easy to source staples (depending on your location) like quinoa, beans, nuts, and seeds.

In the new year, I’m focusing on amping up my plant-based protein to meet my protein goals.

I’m excited to start a a new strength training program when I return, so I’m focusing on fueling my body for success!

One of the ways I usually incorporate more protein is with the use of vegan protein powder.

There was a time when I thought that I would perish if I didn’t have my daily protein shake.

While I don’t feel that way anymore (there is plenty of protein in plants!), it is a nice way to supplement your daily meals.

These 10 vegan protein packed breakfasts or snacks will energize your day, wherever it takes you.

Incorporate your favorite plant-based protein powder for an extra boost!

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “reset” recipes that will make you feel amazing. Lean on these when you need a fresh start!

Happy new year, friends!

I’m currently exploring Italy and Iceland for the tail end of my Euro-trip.

It’s a strange thing to start a new year in a different country, but it’s an experience I feel so lucky to have had!

I’ve never been a big fan of the whole new year, new life mindset.

But I love a good goal setting or intention setting sesh.

And while every day can be the perfect day for a “fresh start”, there’s something both special and mundane about Jan 1st.

The potential is palpable, and yet, the day feels strangely a lot like yesterday.

One thing is certain; I won’t right the correct year date for *at least* another 3 months.

Regardless of how commonplace or inspiring the day “feels”, I always like to start my year by fueling myself with foods that make me feel good from the inside out.

I hand-selected 10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “reset” recipes will make you feel amazing.

These are the kind of recipes I pull out when I had a late night, feel under the weather, or just returned from vacation.

They’re light, nourishing, and packed with nutrients.

Bookmark this page and lean on them whenever you need a fresh start, whether it’s Jan 1 or July 1.

Vegan NYE Recipe Ideas

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of fun vegan NYE recipes ideas that are perfect for at-home celebrations, entertaining, and before and after midnight munchies.

This will be my second New Years Eve spent in Germany!

It’s truly a uniquely special experience to ring in the new year from another place on the globe.

Especially weird when you realize as clock strikes midnight in Germany, for my people in the U.S., it’s not new years yet.

I love getting to know German NYE traditions, which are a lot like American NYE traditions.

Good food and drinks with good company, and maybe some fireworks when one year turns into the next.

Luckily, I can help you with one of those things today.

Recipes, all the recipes.

I used to love going out on NYE, but the pandemic really showed me how beautiful the new year can be spent from the comfort of your own home.

These Vegan NYE Recipe Ideas are small bites that would be perfect to make and serve to end the year.

For NYE, there’s usually a lot of continual snacking and finger food as people pace themselves for the marathon of staying up until midnight (or is it just me?).

With that in mind, I included 10 festive appetizers, snacks, and desserts that would be beautiful and delicious for a NYE gathering.

Wherever you choose to celebrate this new year, I hope it brings you joy!!!

Happy new year, friends.

Coconut Creamed Kale

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Coconut creamed kale made on the stovetop with green and lacinato kale in a coconut-based sauce for a quick and cozy plant-based side.

If you need a last minute holiday side to end the year with pizzazz while also getting your greens in, I got you.

If you’ve been around here a while, you know I’m more than OK to eat most of my produce raw, steamed; zero frills, low effort.

But recently I went on a “creamed vegetable” kick.

Maybe because it’s winter and I felt like my vegetables deserved to have a lot of fun before the new year.

I was reminded of eating creamed corn as a kid, and how nice that was, so I set out to create a cozy vegan alternative.

While I tried both creamed corn and creamed kale, the greens won me over in the end.

Let’s tame our kale together and make this Coconut Creamed Kale.

It’s made on the stovetop with green and lacinato kale in a rich coconut-based sauce for a quick and cozy plant-based side.
