In high school, I attended our school football games solely for the food.

OK, for my friends, too.

There was track at my high school that ran around the football field, and my friends and I walked it in lingering laps, gossiping and scanning the stands, really hoping we might see that cute boy from 5th period.

We passed the marching band, the cheerleaders, and the stands, over and over, never actually watching the game.

(Who watches football at a football game?)

Roasted Beet Macro Bowl with Lemon Tahini Dressing 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.

Luckily, this Roasted Beet Macro Bowl wasn’t on the list.

Sweet & Spicy Tomato Jam

By Flora & Vino 3 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 Power Bowl with Apple Cider Tahini

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Power bowl with paprika roasted veggies paired in a creamy Apple Cider Tahini Dressing. Prepare the ingredients in advance for easy lunches!

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 Power Bowl with Apple Cider 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.

Leafy greens, ancient grains, roasted veg, protein packed legumes, hearty nuts, sweet dried fruit, a killer oil-free dressing, and a dusting of seeds!

Do you think I could have fit anything else in there?

Believe me, I tried.

Stuffed Purple Sweet Potatoes with Turmeric Tahini

By Flora & Vino 23 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.

And I adored these Stuffed Purple Sweet Potatoes with Turmeric Tahini, too!
