Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Eggs

By Flora & Vino 9 Comments

Easy chocolate peanut butter eggs with just 4-ingredients! Perfect for an Easter treat or anytime healthy candy substitute.

Happy Friday!

How was your week?

I feel like it’s that time of the year when all of us humans start to slowly come out of hibernation.

So, my calendar this weekend is full– want to hear?

We’ve got a baseball game this evening, followed by bookclub brunch tomorrow, and a hair highlight on Sunday.

That might not seem like a lot to you, but to an introvert, well, that’s a whole lot of socialization.

My one rule is to never plan TWO events in one day, because in my experience that never ends well for my energy levels.

My other rule is always tackle the weekend with a clean treat, preferably a plant-based peanut butter and chocolate coated candy.

You ready?

Oven-Baked Tofu Fries

By Flora & Vino 8 Comments

Easy oven-baked tofu fries perfect for a protein packed snack or side. Meal prep them in advance to add protein to workweek meals.

I used to meal prep like it was my J O B.

Working in an office, I was determined to have access to all of the foods that made me thrive.

So I planned in advance, down to the very last Tupperware container.

In the height of my meal prep days. I sliced tofu into thin strips and baked until crispy brown on the outside and tender on the inside.

It was lost on me that these thin strips sort of resembled fries, until I baked one batch too long, removing their erect rectangular shapes from the cookie sheet in amazement.

And so it began, making Oven-Baked Tofu Fries for #mealprepsunday.

Last weekend I donated six bags of “stuff” and instantly felt Marie Kondo- status.

So, maybe we can freshen up our eats a little, too.

It’s salad season and my lunches are coming out of hibernation with some serious crunch and color.

Throughout winter my lunches are typically a reheat of last night’s leftovers; a totally respectable and convenient affair.

But for today let’s let the leftover stay leftover and whip up something vibrant and crisp.

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!

Tofu Sheet Pan Meal

Tofu Sheet pan meal with tofu, vegetables, and “cheezy” no-cheese miso tahini sauce. Serve over quinoa or by itself for an easy and filling weeknight dinner.

Happy Monday, friends!

I have a new/old one-pan meal recipe for you today.

New/old?

Let me explain.

I still remember the day I first made and photographed this Tofu Sheet Pan Meal with “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce.

It was one of those shoots that really flowed, trying out new angles on my sleek new black granite photography board, each new shot seeming a little better than the last.

I mean, roasted veggies and lightly browned tofu glistening with a creamy miso-tahini drizzle?

Looking good, one-pan meal.

Vegan Tahini “Cheez-Its”

By Flora & Vino 12 Comments

Vegan Tahini “cheez-its” made with nutritional yeast and a gluten-free almond oat base. Tahini gives these crackers a sesame twist!

After Dan goes to bed he sometimes leaves a savory snack behind, a half empty bowl of pretzels or a cheez-its to commemorate the night.

My snacking, on the other hand, rarely leaves behind any crumbs, especially where these Vegan Tahini “Cheez-Its” are concerned.

These are salty buttery yellow squares baked to crispy perfection are my new plant-based, oil-free, and gluten-free obsession.

They’re totally “cheezy” without any added cheese– intrigued?

Ah, cheesy snacking crackers.

My parents never bought Cheetos, even though I devoured them greedily with orange stained fingers at friends’ houses.

We did have Cheez-Its on hand occasionally, though, for some seriously savory snacking.

I never liked chips (really!), but I could go for a good Cheez-It every now and then.

So…how about now?
