Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Are you busy making all of the things?

I always talk up the spread I’m going to make for the big day, excited to show my family and friends just how cool plants are even on “turkey day”.

But, if you’re overly ambitious like me, sometimes some of those dishes just don’t get made.

And the important thing is that you show up, yeah?

Well, and that you show up with an epic lazy girl orange offering.

If you’re scrambling for a contribution to bring to your gathering, you really can’t go wrong with a seasonal dip.

This 5-Ingredient Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect spread to whip up in under 10 minutes to wow guests!

By Flora & Vino 12 Comments

Get your greens in with this saucy side that’s oil-free with a creamy dijon tahini dressing. Perfect to complement your holiday spread.

True or false: Most epic feasts are all about the sides.

TRUTH.

Everyone always gets all worked up about what I’m going to eat for the plant-based Thanksgiving main, and I’m over here loading up on sides like it’s no big deal.

But sometimes green holiday sides can look (and taste) a little less than green, you know?

After being baked and buttered, what was once green is now a soggy chartreuse sight on your plate.

So.

I made this verdant side that’s vibrant and fresh with an easy oil-free dijon tahini sauce.

You’re going to love these Dijon Tahini Green Beans to bring life to your holiday spread!

It’s the perfect green beans Thanksgiving recipe to make this year.

Vegan chocolate pie made with 6 ingredients! Grain-free chocolate crust topped with a chocolate, almond butter, and coconut cream filling.

Ah, Thanksgiving is upon us!

I was talking to a friend on the phone this past week (I know, the phone!) and we admitted to each other that the holidays can be so busy that somewhere in the logistics we lose sight of, you know, the holiday.

It would be like making this Vegan Chocolate Pie and getting so wrapped up in serving it and washing the dishes that you don’t sit down and enjoy a slice.

Do me a favor– you need to sit down and enjoy this one, guys.

I’m thankful for you and I’m thankful for chocolate and pie and these things need to be celebrated!

Grab a pie pan, put your frenzied holiday shopping on hold, and make a wholesome chocolate pie this holiday season.

Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Low-carb cauliflower stuffing that’s grain-free and gluten-free with cauliflower rice. Made in one-pan on the stovetop for a quick nutritious holiday side.

True story: I never liked stuffing.

I did not like it here or there,

I did not like it ANYWHERE.

I’m trying to pinpoint why I didn’t like it at such a young age, but all I came up with is that it was too bread-y, or herb-y, or SOMETHING for my palette.

I always had a sad soggy lump of it on my Thanksgiving plate long after the cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, and green beans had disappeared, leaving only traces of their appeal in bits smudges of red, orange, and green.

But what if you could eat the rainbow in your stuffin’, too?

This Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing is both grain-free and gluten-free, packed with savory herbs and veggies, and made exceptionally easy in just one pan.

Let’s get stuffing!

Sweet potato muffins made with purple sweet potato purée and oats naturally sweetened with maple syrup, applesauce, and raisins. Perfect for a fall snack!

Hey, everyone.

How was your week?

Also, how is Thanksgiving day in exactly TWO WEEKS?

Yes, the Thanksgiving feast is coming, but I thought we could start out small, with an appetizer of sorts.

I thought we could start the festivities with Purple Sweet Potato Muffins.

They’re oil-free, gluten-free, vegan, and refined-sugar-free, making them a suitable treat for everyone in the fam.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that I’m pretty obsessed with purple sweet potatoes.

When my girlfriends came over for brunch a few weeks back I made them goodie bags of my favorite products.

In passing, I threatened to stuff a purple potato in there, because they’re that good!

I have quite a history with purple sweet potatoes so far.

Remember when I added them ti Overnight Oats, stuffed them with Tandoori Spiced Chickpeas, and whipped them into hummus on toast?!

And now it’s time to bake them into muffins.

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

Breakfast Stuffed Squash with yogurt, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola, and sunflower seed butter. Perfect for meal prepped cold weather breakfasts!

Did you remember to fall back, friends?

I like to play this game where I live in the pre-time changed world for as long as I possibly can.

It works best if you’re too lazy to change the analog clocks in the house; their striking hands acting as a portal to that parallel universe where 8 AM is still 8 AM.

Looking at the time, I’m transported to that other world where time marches on unchanged by Federal Law.

At this time, pre-Daylight Savings Time Lauren is bowing deeply in child’s pose on her yoga mat.

There she is serenely sipping on a steaming green Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte.

Oh, and now she’s standing by the glowing oven, impatiently waiting on squash halves to bake.

Get it girl.

This Breakfast Stuffed Squash is the perfect meal prep breakfast for colder months; ready in just 30 minutes for you and your doppelgänger.

Well, hello, November, where the heck did you come from?

You know the boy that called wolf?

Well, lately, I’ve been feeling like that girl that called “busy”.

I’m too busy for this, too busy for that, too busy to tell you I’m busy.

It’s become a sort of boring refrain, an overused metaphor, a worn out sweatshirt.

Are you busy, too?

Luckily, we all have time to start the month by making today’s recipe.

This Chickpea Waldorf Salad with Creamy Kombucha Dressing has a tons of fun texture and taste with a super low prep time.

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Fall inspired collard wraps with a creamy curried sweet potato cashew spread, lentils, pecans, apples, and sprouts. Perfect for easy light lunches!

Happy Halloween, buddies!

Do you have anything spooky planned for today?

I’m not big on scary movies ever since I decided to watch The Ring by myself in my parents’ basement when I was 15.

I’m probably still making up for sleepless nights after that episode; equal parts terrified and smug at 2 AM because hey I got through the whole thing alone and ALIVE.

I think the scariest thing I might do today is cleaning the massive pile of dishes on the kitchen island…

When you’re done with all of the tricks and treats, these Curried Sweet Potato & Lentil Collard Wraps will be waiting for you in all of their zippy orange glory.

They’re perfect to enjoy for a fresh fun fall lunch, or to nourish and refuel after one too many sweets.

5-Spice Squash & Chickpea Stew

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

5-Spice Squash & Chickpea Stew made in 1-pot with lots of cozy vegetables and plant-based protein! Make a pot on Sunday night and enjoy leftovers all week.

Last night Dan and I had the pleasure of babysitting my niece and nephews.

We went over, ordered pizza, and watched the kids get sleepier and sleepier on the couch watching Nick Jr. before the procession upstairs to read a Paw Patrol book before bed time.

And I’ve got to say, they were so well behaved, they made parenting almost look easy (although I’ve heard that’s not the case!!!).

The hardest part was staying up a bit past our usual bedtime.

I caught Dan falling to sleep on the job several times while I stayed awake dreaming of cozy recipes to be.

And what else do you dream up a quarter to midnight but a big comforting stew?

This 5-Spice Squash & Chickpea Stew is perfectly spiced, subtly sweet, tomato-based, oil free, protein packed, veggie goodness.

Despite the long descriptors, all you need are five spices, chickpeas, and your most favorite squash!

Roasted Pumpkin & Vegetable Soup

By Flora & Vino 11 Comments

Creamy sweet & savory pumpkin soup with coconut milk, roasted veggies, and a simple seasoning. Perfect for a chilly fall day!

Whenever I called my grandma, we always started out our conversation by asking each other about the weather.

Always.

It was a comfortable routine, the common ground we could both answer easily and confidently, politely paving the way to more in-depth topics.

Sometimes small talk can lead to big things, right?

So…how’s the weather where you are?

We almost had our first frost here this past week, so I’m cozying up to mugs brimming with warmth.

The mugs you see in this picture are what I drink my matcha out of every morning!

I discovered this week, however, that they’re also my favorite way to eat Roasted Pumpkin & Vegetable Soup.

This soup is super creamy, orange, and packed with unexpected veg and subtle sweetness!
