White Bean Ricotta & Baby Artichoke Toast

Savory toast with a white-bean and cashew based ricotta spread topped with baby artichokes and fresh dill. Perfect for brunch or a light lunch!

It’s getting harder to work indoors lately.

The pollen is starting to disappear, and with it all of my restraint for staying indoors.

Even though it’s been a while since I was in school, I still feel the anticipation of summer coming, as is all of us were about to take an epic vacation from life.

Today I stood in my studio, camera in hand, gazing out at bright blue skies and wondering if F&V would mind if I took the day off…

The answer is yes, because I have a recipe for you that needs to be shared and needs to be shared today!

It’s been a second since we did a classic Toast Tuesday, so I thought I’d share this White Bean Ricotta & Baby Artichoke Toast with you.

My new favorite savory toast that’s perfect for casual breakfast, lunch, but elegant enough to serve for (Mother’s Day!) brunch!

Easy 1-bowl gluten-free and vegan carrot apple muffins with a secret ingredient. Add a splash of cinnamon kombucha for probiotics and flavor!

Where are my “booch” lovers?

Every time Dan asks if he can drink the kombucha in the fridge I have to smile and say yes because there was a time not that long ago that “booch” wasn’t in his vocab.

Kombucha is now a staple in our house, my feel-good drink of choice that supports detoxification, energy production, and immunity boost.

It’s my favorite form of bubbly.

But have you ever tried baking with it?

These Carrot Apple Kombucha Muffins are the perfect intro to baking with kombucha!

Naturally vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and refined sugar free with a splash of booch for characters.

We had the windows open almost all weekend, letting the perfect 70 degree breeze waft through the condo, tickling my photography gear and paper planner.

It was all fine and good until I woke up this morning stuffy and puffy, the price for luxuriating in the spring air.

This Allergy Fighting Acai Bowl is just what we need to ease any inflammation this season.

Vegan & Gluten-Free Yogurt Granola Cups

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free baked granola cups served with plant-based yogurt and fresh berries! Perfect for an easy meal-prep breakfast.

Who were you when you were young?

Growing up, I was always the cute one, the nice one, the girl next door.

I was the girl that you could count on showing up to your house with homemade cookies and three different movie options to match your mood.

Coincidentally, it wasn’t until my mid-20’s that I realized that much of my grown-up woman identity was precariously built on this idea of being that sweet little girl.

It’s funny– I didn’t like it then–I always wanted to be a little more unpredictable with sharper edges.

When you read this post it’ll probably be my birthday–and guys; I’m not 17 anymore.

But you know what is still super cute, little, and sweet?

These Vegan Yogurt Granola Cups.

You only need 6-ingredients to make the granola cups and 2-ingredients to fill them!

Savory Zucchini Oats (Zoats)

By Flora & Vino 8 Comments

Savory oats with zucchini spirals, spinach, avocado, and cherry tomato seasoned with nutritional yeast. Perfect for a savory breakfast or lunch!

I love challenging the societal norms for eating.

For example, who decided that oatmeal has to be sweet?

Fess up.

Not me, so let’s stir in some zucchini spirals and seasoning and savor.

If you’ve been here a few times, you know I love sneaking vegetables into my morning oatmeal recipes…

But what if you didn’t have to sneak?

These Savory Zucchini Oats (Zoats) are perfect for a savory breakfast, lunch, or dinner for a different take on your classic bowl of oatmeal.

Ever since seeing my fist savory oatmeal recipe, I’ve been entranced.

Oats as the base to a full on gourmet meal?

What will they think of next?

Most of the recipes I browed have runny eggs on top in a glistening over top, but I made these bowls plant-based and equally drool-worthy with avocado, seeds, and tomato.

They’re creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with fiber, protein, and greens.

I love that they fill and fuel you without any added sugars, gluten, or oils!

Strawberry Hemp Heart Avocado Toast

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Upgrade your avocado toast with sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of hemp hearts. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack.

Remember when avocado toast used to be so edgy and avant-garde?

“You mean you’re smashing avocado…on toasted bread?” *incredulous stare*

Now it seems like every hip restaurant has a version of “avocado toast” on the menu, just to prove their currency.

Yesterday, at the airport, pouring over the pre-packaged foods for something, anything I could grab for the five hour plane ride, I saw pre-packaged “Avocado Toasts”.

It was essentially a handful of half-crumbled crackers and suspicious-looking smashed avocado, but still.

We can now eat avocado toast up in the air, guys.

Whether you’ve been on the avocado toast train a while or are just getting on board, I think you’re going to love these Strawberry Hemp Heart Avocado Toast.

Avocado and fresh berries smashed together on your favorite toast-y bread is basic in the absolute BEST way.

Berry Yogurt Protein Parfaits

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Blueprint Berry Yogurt Protein Parfaits are perfect for busy mornings and meal prep. Stir in plant-based protein powder and top with your favorites.

This breakfast was born out of unapologetically busy mornings without a whole lot going on in the fridge.

I was committed to an early Saturday morning yoga class. the one you idealize on Friday evening and greet sluggishly Saturday by pressing the snooze button a handful of times before finally extricating yourself from bed just in time.

With minutes to spare, I needed something quick, quicker that a protein shake quick, so I grabbed a container of yogurt, added a spoonful of protein powder, a big handful of granola, and lots of berries, and ran out the door.

After the first hurried bite I knew that I had a new recipe blueprint on my hands.

Hello, Berry Yogurt Protein Parfaits.

The first versions of this combination were far from photogenic— an indiscernible cup of mush white with the occasional spotting of a granola cluster or smashed berry.

I refined things here so you can choose to dine and dash or make a prettier parfait version in advance.

Either way, this is an easy grab and go breakfast or snack that will save you when pressed for time!

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins with Coconut Butter Glaze

By Flora & Vino 11 Comments

Easy 1-bowl lemon poppy seed muffins with a 2-ingredient coconut butter glaze. Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and naturally sweet.

It’s March!

Let’s make all things bright, citrus, and sweet.

That means lovin’ on lemons.

Lemon.

One of the regulars that carries over from grocery list to grocery list in my sprawling cursive, a staple in my kitchen.

I love them bowled on the granite counter, bright smiley face yellow, as if ready to be captured in a still life painting.

I love muddling a wedge into water when water is the last thing you want to drink.

I love to big squeeze 1/2 of one all over my vegetables with runny tahini for the quickest (and best) DIY dressing.

I also really love them in these Lemon Poppyseed Muffins with Coconut Butter Glaze.

These 1-bowl muffins are perfect to ring in spring with refreshing citrus and creamy coconut butter.
