Roasted Carrot, Beet, & Lentil Macro Bowl with Oil-Free Maple Tahini by Flora & Vino

Last night I deleted the TO DO list that I’ve compiled on my phone since 2011.

By accident.

Yeah, that happened.

I was messing around inside the Reminders app, swiping up and down and mentally grunting and groaning at some of the tasks that have literally been on there for…years.

And…instead of deleting a line item I realized with giddy gratification I’d accomplished, I went and deleted the whole darn list.

Oops.

My first feeling was panic, sheer ‘how am I going to survive and function as a real adult without my to do list’ panic, but before I could even verbalize the terror it quickly changed to something I recognized as relief. Relief!

What?!

I could probably call Apple to try to retrieve the list from cyberspace.

I’m sure all of my “organize the closet” and “call grandma” and “go to target ” are swimming out there in the web somewhere with someone else’s dirty laundry.

Green Macro Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Healthy macro bowl packed with greens! Perfect to reset and fuel with a balance of macronutrients topped with an oil-free turmeric tahini dressing.

This bowl is one of those I stumbled upon while cleaning out the fridge on Sundays.

You know, one of those throw everything is a bowl and hope it tastes good kind of deals?

I love the feeling of emptying out Tupperware containers of chopped veggies and quinoa and piling them by the dishwasher to get squeaky clean before Monday comes again.

Assembling my bowls with the stragglers of the week forces me to make some creative combinations I wouldn’t normally put side by side.

And on this particular Sunday, I had handfuls of kale, steamed brocoli sliced cucumber, avo…I’m sensing a color theme here…

Give me ALL THE GREENS.

Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with Crispy Chickpeas

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Easy spaghetti squash stuffed with a medley of veggies and crispy Italian seasoned chickpeas. Perfect for easy weeknight meals and pasta substitutions.

I watched a documentary on Minimalism this week on Netflix and by the end of the movie I was ready to scour my closets and cabinets and get rid of everything that didn’t serve a clear purpose.

But then it got late and I went to bed.

I still have a reminder on my “TO-DO” list to minimize the clutter in my life and go through things.

Ironically, the list itself is so cluttered that I probably will skip over that one unintentionally, bombarded by reminders and alarms and the feeling of constantly forgetting something.

It’s OK, at least I never forget dinner.

While watching the documentary, I also enjoyed this Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with Crispy Chickpeas!

Green Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice by Flora & Vino

Is there anything better than a warm bowl of curry?

It’s definitely up there on my list of things that make me happy in the colder weather, along with unexpected snow days, steaming mugs of hot cocoa or tea, and roomy fuzzy sweaters (not itchy, though!).

All of your favorite veggies bobbing up and down in that fragrant creamy coconut based broth…

This time of year, everyone has green on the brain.

Green for spring, the unspoken word on everyone’s parched lips.

The majority of the cold is over but spring feels like it’ll never get here.

I was hoping to score a few cozy snow days in before my birthday (April 2nd), but it looks like that might not happen.

If you’re like me, you’re pretty much over the cold weather after the charm of Christmas is in the rear view mirror.

If it’s going to be cold, the weather could at least be pretty about it and give us some fluffy white stuff.

I’m getting through the seasonal dissonance by experimenting with new curry combinations in the kitchen.

This Green Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice is so hot, it’ll definitely give Mother Nature the hint hint hint.

Sweet & Spicy Tomato Jam

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Easy unique jam made with cherry tomatoes and simple ingredients that achieve the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Perfect as the topping for any meal!

When I first heard that tomatoes were actually a fruit (something about the whole seed situation classification), I was silently in denial.

Sure, you can say you’re a fruit, but I know who you REALLY are.

They just get along with vegetables too well.

Takes one to know one, right?

And then I made this Sweet & Spicy Tomato Jam, and, bam.

I’m pretty sure I’ll never think of tomatoes as a vegetable again.

Paprika Roasted Power Bowl with Oil-Free ACV Tahini

Big bowls of everything are all I want lately!

After I mix everything together with a fork and knife, bits of kale and veg always overflow and my heart aches at the sight of them lying shipwrecked on the countertop.

This Paprika Roasted Power Bowl with Oil-Free ACV Tahini has major overflow potential, because it has everything.

It’s got texture, crunch, savory and sweet, and a creamy dressing that ties it all together.

Stuffed Purple Sweet Potatoes with Tandoori Chickpeas & Turmeric Tahini

By Flora & Vino 5 Comments

Easy veggie-centric entree with baked purple sweet potato, crispy chickpeas, and a simple oil-free turmeric tahini. Simple, comforting, and unique!

Ah, sweet potatoes.

My love is blind when it comes to these starchy sweet root veggies.

Whenever my mom made them for dinner, I would cheer, and my sister would groan.

She didn’t like all of those “strings” she said.

She has since changed her feeling towards sweet potatoes.

But I haven’t.

Because I still ADORE them….
