Spinach Artichoke Cashew Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip made creamy with cashews and “cheesy” with nutritional yeast. Perfect to serve as an appetizer with chips, bread, or veggies.

Happy February, everyone!

This year is already flying by.

It feels like a good time to fiercely focus, doesn’t it?

It seems like all of the people that I love are on a personal journey this year.

Buying houses, starting families, hitting work milestones…

The big stuff that makes you smile at far you’ve come since the Facebook Time Hops that pops up when you log in.

I’m focusing on the big stuff, too, this year, but trying to enjoy the small stuff along the way.

For example, the groundhog saw his shadow this Groundhog’s Day, so, if we trust Punxsutawney Phil, we have a cold 6 weeks ahead of us.

And he wasn’t lying, because we have a cold front coming in here this weekend with temperatures down to the teens!

So, let’s cozy up to this Spinach Artichoke Cashew Dip.

This delicious dip is made creamy with cashews and “cheesy” with nutritional yeast.

It’s perfect to serve as an appetizer with chips, crackers, bread, or veggies for the Super Bowl or winter entertaining!

Strawberry cheesecake overnight oats with raw cashews, rolled oats, and strawberries. Perfect to make in advance for a healthy breakfast!

This past weekend my hiking group completed our first hike of 2021!

We eased into the year of hikes exploring 5 miles of trails on Sugarloaf Mountain, in Dickerson, Maryland.

The morning of the hike, I fueled with one of my pre-hiking staples; overnight oats.

I *love* eating oats before being active because they’re packed with protein, fiber, and complex carbs.

They’re satiating, quick, nourishing, and did I mention delicious?

I had the idea early this year to make a vegan “cheesecake” overnight oats variation, and, well, here it is!

These Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats are made with raw cashews, rolled oats, and strawberries.

Do you have pancake nostalgia from childhood?

Because I do.

My mom used to make the most amazing Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes on weekend mornings.

Let’s do a 2023 check in so far…how has it been?

It’s been so very full on my end– and all good things.

By morning I’m working through an inversion practice, using blocks and straps and prep to help me get upside down.

My goal is to be able to successfully hold an inversion by the end of the year!

By evening I’m learning German in a virtual course that just kicked off this week.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

It feels good to actively pursue my goals and dreams, and it feels even better to fuel them with my favorite foods.

I’m fiercely protective of my nourishment right now, because with all of the go-getting, there isn’t as much time for rest.

So, let’s make sure we have a cozy and nourishing lunch for the weeks ahead.

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of 10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “date night in” dinners that are feel fancy but are easy to make and fun to share.

It’s that time of year where it’s easy to feel a little lost, yeah?

It’s cold.

It’s dark.

The holidays are over and the expanse of the year ahead can feel heavy and hard.

The worst part is, despite the cold and gloom, we haven’t had any significant snowfall here in Maryland!

So, I’ve been prioritizing quality time with friends, getting outside every day, and staying active to beat the winter blues.

Another activity in my “winter survival toolbox” is cozying up at home and making a fancy dinner.

Usually I make dinner here at F&V, because I’m typically brimming with ideas for recipe testing or serving up leftovers from a shoot.

But, whenever M does get involved in the kitchen, I remember how much fun it is to have a cooking partner!

We love our weekly takeout but some of my favorite dinners are the ones that we make and enjoy together.

Today I’m sharing 10 Vegan “Date Night In” Dinners!

These aren’t your average meal prep bowl; they feel elevated and fancy while still being easy to make together and fun to share.

And, if you’re living solo, take this post as inspiration to take yourself on a date to a big fancy dinner of your making.

Cookie Dough Protein Truffles

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy Cookie Dough Protein Truffles made with Evo Hemp Cookie Dough Hemp Protein Bars and dark chocolate for a sweet bite packed with protein.

This weekend I cut my hair for the first time in….a while.

And I don’t mean a trim, I mean a *real* haircut.

The kind where your hair stylist chops off inches and holds it up in the mirror for you to gasp in excited horror.

I had been committed to growing out my hair since I had my pixie cut back in 2013.

Sure, I had a few slip ups where I went short instead of long, but for the most part, I’ve been on the “grow out” train for about 10 years.

So it felt so liberating to walk in and show my girl pictures of lobs (long bobs) with a deep side part and say, “Let’s do this!”

The change feels so fresh and fun and I can’t stop reaching for the excess hair like a phantom limb where I used to be able to pull it back into a long pony.

I have a fun new recipe for you to try today.

It’s a bit snacky, a bit dessert-y, and a lot delicious.

It’s a Cookie Dough Protein Truffles, made with my favorite Evo Hemp Cookie Dough Hemp Protein Bars and dark chocolate for a sweet bite packed with protein.

You’re going to love them for a quick pick me up that’s packed with protein and energy and gift-wrapped in chocolate!

Flavorful Vegan Vegetable Lasagna with tofu ricotta, garden vegetables, and chickpea lasagna noodles. Perfect for a cozy dish to feed the entire family!

I’ve been doing this food blogging thing for many many years now, but I’ve never made homemade lasagna before!

Not even before I was plant-based.

Even as a child, I would 100% choose a veggie lasagna over a meaty lasagna any day of the week.

My parents used to heat up these frozen family-sized vegetable lasagnas for an easy meal that we happily ate with regularity.

I loved them because it was cozy and cheesy while being *packed* with garden vegetables.

So, I set out to make my first vegan lasagna with soft oozing ricotta and all of the colorful vegetables.

This flavorful Vegan Vegetable Lasagna is made plant-based with a tofu ricotta, garden vegetables, and chickpea lasagna noodles.

It’s the perfect cozy dish to feed the entire family this winter!
