Detox Zoodle Soup (Oil-Free)

The perfect 1-pot soup to cleanse and detox, packed with immunity boosting veggies, zucchini noodles. and a delicious detoxifying oil-free broth.

Happy New Year’s Eve Eve.

It’s been freezing here all week, you guys!

The kind of cold that makes you grab hats and scarves and all the accoutrements just to take the pup outside.

To be honest, I didn’t get outside much because I’m still getting over a lingering post-Christmas cold.

We got our first “real” dusting of snow last night, and I skipped my usual Saturday spin class to (try to) enjoy a slower morning.

Partially to procrastinate de-frosting my car…because I’m not entirely sure where my ice-scraper is or if it’s even in my car.

Also to rest up this red Rudolph nose so that it’s presentable to go out tomorrow for New Year’s Eve.

As you might have guessed, we’re going to try out a new winery in the area, and I can’t think of a better way to ring in 2018!

So I’ve been holed up here at home, going a bit crazy, planning for the new year, making soup…

I’m definitely ready to get back into a steady routine in the new year and I’m convinced that it should involve a steady stream of feel-good and good-for-you soups.

This Detox Zoodle Soup (Oil-Free) is the perfect way to warm up, reset, and nourish yourself!

Coconut Almond Rolled Dates

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Make your own coconut almond rolled dates in under 10 minutes with dates, almond butter, almonds, and shredded coconut!

Recently, I keep seeing the cutest containers of coconut rolled dates at my local Mom’s Organic Market.

Multiple times now the container has almost made it into my cart, until I quickly chastise myself because…I could make that.

So finally I did.

These Coconut Almond Rolled Dates are the simplest treat that require only a handful of ingredients you’ve already got in your cabinet.

The week between Christmas and New Years always seems a bit ghost-like, doesn’t it?

We’re daydreaming through a workweek stranded between two major holidays.

The anticipation of the new year is tangible, but 2017 hangs on hard for seven long days.

I simultaneously want to do everything and nothing at the same time, you know?

I haven’t done either very well, though, because Dan caught a nasty cold over the weekend and I caught his.

Maybe I had a few too many cookies.

You bet I’m drinking my kombucha, eating my leafy greens, and manifesting my speedy recovery hard to start off 2018 with wellness.

If you had a few too many cookies, too, or are totally dessert-ed out after a sweet Christmas, these Coconut Almond Rolled Dates are for you.

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Reset with this banana-free smoothie bowl that’s packed with protein, berries, and greens. Perfect for a nourishing breakfast, snack, or anytime meal.

I always have a little trouble letting go of Christmas…anyone else?

We usually leave our tree decorated until New Years Day and then I try to do the disassembly as quickly as possible to avoid those poignant pangs of nostalgia.

Like ripping off a bandaid.

But for now it’s still standing, proud and present-less in our living room.

If you’re having a little trouble letting go of the red and green too, this Evergreen Smoothie Bowl is for you!

This nutritious blend of leafy greens, antioxidant rich berries and cacao, and protein is the perfect breakfast to reset and refuel after a big holiday weekend or whenever!

I woke up this morning to a very cold world outside.

Not exactly the kind of weather that you would associate with smoothie bowls, but I still crave them anyway.

Luckily, my parents got me a spiffy new L.L.Bean floor-length robe in eggplant purple for Christmas that I’ve had considerable trouble taking off since.

My family knows that I’m a robe person.

If you need me I’ll be wrapped up in purple polyester, slurping up spoonfuls of evergreen.

These Raspberry Matcha Muffins are sort of “accidentally festive”, but I decided to go with it, because, ’tis the season!

“Cheezy” chickpea & broccoli casserole packed with protein, veggies, and a killer vegan cheese sauce. Perfect for winter and holiday dining.

Well, hello there, first casserole recipe on Flora & Vino.

Don’t you look coy and cozy.

I love the concept of casseroles, especially for this time of year.

They’re like the food equivalent of an oversized ugly sweater than that you can slip into and never take off.

Foodie minimalism at its finest, right?

Dish out the finished product in steaming rectangles, no fancy sides required, and dig in, excavating surprises from underneath a golden top.

If you don’t have a Christmas casserole lined up (or even if you do), you’re going to love this “Cheezy” Chickpea & Broccoli Casserole!

1-Bowl Tahini Date Nut Bread

By Flora & Vino 58 Comments

1-Bowl Tahini Date Nut Bread that’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or anything in between. Refined sugar-free, gluten-free, and oil-free with a tahini twist!

Well hello!

It dawned on me this morning that this time next week we’ll be at my parents rockin’ around the Christmas tree.

I’m listening to Christmas music a little obsessively at this point (“It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas” is currently on as I type this post…) so I can feel like I got the most out of the season.

Keeping the oven in a constant rotation of sweets and treats makes the holiday feel deliciously imminent.

Homemade breads are so fun to give and receive for the holidays.

Tell me, is there anything more endearing than unwrapping that lumpy bundle from a friend to behold a slightly smushed but oh so thoughtful loaf of bread?

I think my heart just grew two sizes too big.

My favorite lately is this easy Date-Nut Bread that’s moist, hearty, and packed with dates, walnuts, and a tahini twist!

Forget the fruitcake and make this 1-Bowl Tahini Date Nut Bread for the holiday season!

With the countdown to Christmas getting closer and closer, I’m finding excuses to throw red and green in everything.

From salads to oatmeal bowls, nothing gets by without a little holiday sprucing.

I’ve had such a sweet tooth, lately.

Anyone else?

If we’re going to be eating all the sweets, we could at least make them festive, right?

Orange Ginger Tofu Marinade

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Orange ginger tofu marinade perfect as the center to your plant-based meal! Orange, maple, and ginger make tofu taste anything but tasteless.

The end of the year feels funny, doesn’t it?

It feels inevitable to be swept into the collective goal-setting and reflection syndrome going around.

I’ve been feeling it hard with Flora & Vino, my baby, who will be 1 year old in less than a month!

During my recap, I realized that I hadn’t shared a tofu-based meal with you yet, so I’m remedying that before the new year!

This Orange Ginger Tofu Marinade is the perfect antidote to heavy holiday-meals while still being beautiful festive and oh so tasty.

You just need extra-firm tofu, fresh orange, and a hint of ginger to bring this flavorful ‘fu to life!

Spicy Marinara Stuffed Cabbage Bowls

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Spicy Marinara Stuffed Cabbage Bowls with quinoa, lentils, and spicy marinara. Perfect for weeknight dinners, lunches, and meal prep.

Hey you! How’s it going?

Virginia had it’s first snow of the season this weekend!

It didn’t stick much, but it was that wet snow-man kind of snow that makes the world look like a real-life snow globe.

We discovered that Harper loves snow, and Harper discovered that she can eat that white stuff on the ground, so it was a good time for all of us.

Being “snowed in” had me craving hearty meals that warm you from the inside out.

What’s more cozy than edible cabbage “bowls” stuffed with a hearty mixture of quinoa, lentils, veg, and spicy marinara?

Nothing.

These Spicy Marinara Stuffed Cabbage Bowls are a lighter plant-based version of classic cabbage rolls with a twist! …

Almond Butter Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Flora & Vino 13 Comments

Almond butter avocado chocolate chip cookies that are gluten-free and made with avocado instead of oil! Perfect with almond milk for dessert.

This weekend I’m going to Christmas Cookie Party with girlfriends!

I’m pretty excited about the whole thing.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but most of that time is spent alone.

Well, that’s not entirely true.

Miss Harper is always there to catch the crumbs and lick the dirty dishes.

But I’ve never baked with a group of girls, so it should be interesting and I’m not sure what to expect.

If you’re imagining giggles and flour flying on brightly colored sweaters with Christmas music setting that holiday background tone, that’s exactly what I’m imagining too and I’m PUMPED.

I wish I could take you with me, but instead, I’ll share these Almond Butter Avocado Cookies.

These cookies taste sinfully decadent but are made with only a few simple nutritious ingredients!
