Rainbow Vegetable Kabobs with Creamy Sriracha Sauce by Flora & Vino

It’s grilling season!

Lately, when I take my daily walk through the neighborhood, I come back hungry.

And not because I walked 10,000 steps. 

It’s because tantalizing smells are wafting from the neighboring houses.

It takes all I have  not to pop in their garden or patio where upbeat music plays, voices carry, and smoke rises from the grill. 

Clearly, I didn’t get the invite.

But friends, I’m cordially inviting you to my plant-based grilling party. 

It’s a Rainbow Vegetable Kabobs with Creamy Sriracha Sauce party! 

Attire: grilling casual. 

RSVP, yes or no?

Smoky White Bean & Beet Burgers

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Smoky White Bean & Beet Burgers made with beets, oats, navy beans, walnuts, and smoky seasonings. Serve over vegetables or between buns!

Smoky White Bean & Beet Burgers by Flora & Vino

This past weekend I hiked the North Folk Mountain Trail to Chimney Top in West Virginia with friends! 

We got up at 5 AM to get to the trail for a mid-morning start and afternoon finish. 

The 5.3 mile there-and-back trail was rated “hard” on Alltrails and it lived up to its name. 

At the top you can see 360 degree views from the chimney top, a massive rock formation that looks like a giant chimney jutting up through the hills. 

So it goes without saying that we absolutely earned the burger feast we grilled at the end.

I was so impressed with our food spread that we set up over pavilion picnic benches. 

My friends brought their camping cooktop and condiments, I brought vegan burgers, pasta salad, and chips. 

If you were to ask me what my current favorite burger is, I’d tell you these Smoky White Bean & Beet Burgers.

They’re a little sweet, a little smokey, and packed with texture from oats, white beans, and walnuts!

Rainbow Rice Paper Wraps with Black Sesame Sauce

Rainbow rice paper wraps made with crunchy raw veggies and baked tofu with a delicious black sesame sauce. Perfect for a light and fresh summer meal!

Rainbow Rice Paper Wraps with Black Sesame Sauce by Flora & Vino

This year M and I have been making our way through the Marvel universe. 

It started with all of The Avengers films and led us all the way to, most recently, to Venom (which kind of loosely connects to the Spiderman world, right?). 

Anyway, this is all relevant because the night we made these Rainbow Rice Paper Wraps with Black Sesame Sauce I took a giant bite of rice paper wrap dipped in black sesame sauce. 

I overestimated the size of the bite and drippiness of the sauce so black sesame sauce dribbled down my chin while I greedily chewed. 

M took one look at me and burst out laughing, saying that I looked just like Venom. 

If you know, you know. 

Afraid to look at myself in the mirror, I hastily wiped the inky sauce off of my face with a wet paper towel. 

Anyway, these Rainbow Rice Paper Wraps with Black Sesame Sauce are too good to worry about looking cute while you eat them. 

They’re made with crunchy raw veggies and baked tofu with a delicious black sesame sauce that you’re going to want to drink.

Make them this summer for a light and fresh warm weather meal!…

Do you have big plans for Memorial Day? 

We’re planning to see family and friends and spend time outdoors, weather permitting! 

I’m looking forward to grilling on my parents’ deck, shaded by the deck umbrella overlooking a lawn of English Ivy. 

It’s the unofficial beginning of summer, right? 

If you’re feeling like you missed the BBQ boat this year, I got you. 

Grab your favorite BBQ sauce and a sheet pan and let’s make 1-Pan BBQ Tempeh & Veggies with Hemp Heart Ranch for dinner!

1-Pot SunButter Pasta

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy 1-pot SunButter Pasta with lentil pasta and garden vegetables in a creamy SunButter-based sauce. Perfect to make for easy weeknight dinners!

1-Pot SunButter Pasta by Flora & Vino

There are just some meals or style of meals that I tend to make on a weekly basis. 

Wednesday is usually pasta night here at F&V. 

I love making pasta because it’s relatively inexpensive, easy to throw together, and tastes like a big hug mid-week. 

Growing up, pasta night usually meant red marinara on noodles with a a protein. 

But M isn’t the big fan of tomato sauces, which is fine, because  tomato sauces aren’t always the biggest fan of my stomach.

So, I’ve been experimenting with creamier sauce alternatives, like alfredo, pesto, and now…SunButter!

This 1-Pot SunButter Pasta is my latest favorite pasta dish. 

It’s made in in 1-pot with legume pasta and garden vegetables in a creamy SunButter-based sauce. 

It’s perfect to make for easy weeknight dinners– I usually get it on the table in less than 30 minutes before our standing Wednesday game night!

Vegan Bean Burrito

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Quick vegan bean burrito with stovetop pinto beans and vegetables wrapped in a cassava tortilla with your favorite toppings. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

Vegan Bean Burrito by Flora & Vino

Team tacos or team burritos? 

When I was young Taco Bell bean burritos with Mild sauce and no onions were my jam. 

I loved them in all of their slightly smashed, bean-y, spicy, cheesy glory. 

When I got older I redefined myself as more of sophisticated taco lover.

But, that’s *totally* a foodie limiting belief, y’all.

Why can’t I be both? 

I’m bringing burritos back with these Vegan Bean Burrito.

Wrap them up for an easy weeknight meal with stovetop pinto beans, tomato, vegan cheese, and your favorite mix-ins.

Easy Tofu Scramble Plate by Flora & Vino

Hi, friends! 

I’m really excited about this recipe because it’s one of the breakfast staples in my house. 

If you’ve spent any time in the F&V breakfast archives, you know that I’m a consistent sweet breakfast eater. 

But whenever I *do* make the first meal of the day savory, it’s *always* with a tofu scramble! 

This tofu scramble, to be exact. 

So today I’m sharing the long overdue tofu scramble recipe that I’ve made, tweaked, and loved over the past few years. 

My Easy Tofu Scramble Plate is made with extra-firm tofu, garden vegetables, and nutritional yeast.

Make it on the stovetop in less than 30 minutes for a protein-packed breakfast, brunch, or dinner!

Soba noodle stir-fry with white wine, garlic, lemon, and fresh vegetables. Ready in under 30 minutes for an elevated meal paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Soba Noodle Stir-Fry with White Wine Garlic Sauce by Flora & Vino

Are you an April Fools jokester? 

I played the *best* April Fool’s joke on M this year and I’m pretty proud of myself. 

I filled an empty jar of his favorite cashew butter with tahini and waited for him to drizzle it all over his usual breakfast bowl. 

He did, of course, and called me on April Fool’s Day to ask why the cashew butter tasted so bitter and roasted. 

To which I replied, “Well, that’s probably because it’s actually an entire jar tahini…”

He was slightly speechless, friends. 

To his credit, he continued to eat the entire breakfast bowl, anyway, tahini drizzle and all. 

Jokes aside, I have a new pasta recipe for you that’s fresh, fun, and elevated. 

This Soba Noodle Stir-Fry with White Wine Garlic Sauce is ready in under 30 minutes. 

It’s begging to be paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Vegan Margherita Pizza with Cashew Tahini Mozzarella + Barbera

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Vegan Margherita Pizza with Cashew Tahini Mozzarella and a homemade chickpea crust with tomato and basil. Perfect for a date night dinner in! 

Vegan Margherita Pizza with Cashew Tahini Mozzarella by Flora & Vino

Will you go to the store for *just one* ingredient? 

A few weeks back M and I had a plant-based pizza party planned when I looked in the fridge I realized we were out of our usual vegan mozzarella. 

Dang it. 

M suggested that we enjoy our pizza cheese-less, but I was set on something cheesy and satisfying. 

I’m so glad that I didn’t go to the store for one ingredient, because the lack of cheese inspired this recipe! 

I immediately did some research on making a vegan cheese at home and decided to wing it with a homemade vegan cashew tahini mozzarella. 

We liked the homemade cashew cheese *so* much, it became a staple pizza night option. 

This Vegan Margherita Pizza with Cashew Tahini Mozzarella is perfect for an elevated plant-based pizza night at home.

I highly recommend pairing it with a glass of Barbera!

Sweet Potato & Avocado Rolls with Sriracha Tahini

Sweet Potato & Avocado Rolls wrapped in toasted sushi nori sheets with a spicy sriracha tahini sauce. Perfect for a date night meal! 

Sweet Potato & Avocado Rolls with Sriracha Tahini by Flora & Vino

On Friday nights, M and I have an unofficially official “date night” where we make a nice dinner and watch a movie. 

It’s kind of a big deal for me because M isn’t a movie guy, so it’s the *one* night a week I can coax him to commit to a full film. 

Usually for dinner we make something outside of our normal weeknight menu.

Something a little, fancier, a little elevated, something we wouldn’t normally make mid-week. 

The best part is that we typically make the recipe together, which is always fun. 

Sashay back and forth across the kitchen linoleum bumping into each other with condiments and fighting over the sink. 

It’s the best kind of chaos. 

A few weeks back, we made homemade sushi. 

It was special because it was M’s first ever homemade sushi, so I had to walk him through the process. 

We made Sweet Potato & Avocado Rolls with Sriracha Tahini, and I’ll walk you through the process, too, if you want! 

Shall we?
