Hey, you.

Are you enjoying the most wonderful time of the year?

Currently, my annual snowmen Christmas card box is sitting on our dining room table, glittery and unopened.

All 40 of them.

If you’re feeling a bit behind on the holiday hustle, I’m right there with you, sprinting from holiday parties to cookie exchanges to white elephants while listening to Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey on repeat; my active anthems to the season.

With Christmas roughly two weeks away, I’m also finding ways to stuff a little festive flair into everything, including my overnight oats.

These Gingerbread Overnight Oats (Date Sweetened!) are just want you need to make your breakfast this season simple and sweet.

Broccoli Rice Bowl with Pomegranate & Grilled Tofu

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Plant-based bowl with a grain-free broccoli rice base piled with fresh veggies, grilled tofu, pomegranate seeds, and a light dressing.

Do you still read magazines?

Not online, but physical magazines that come to your house with glossy covers and colorful contents dripping with advertisements.

I used to sit on the floor of my college bookstore between classes nestled between the magazine racks, fashion magazines strewn in an arc around me.

I was obsessed with how pretty and polished everything looked, staring at red bottoms dressed in sneakers and wishing my fairy god-mother might show up and send me to the ball instead of my next exam.

After college I took a break from mags because, well, they kind of just made me want to buy everything.

Today, I’m kind of getting back into magazines, but instead of looking for the latest “it” bag I’m seeking the latest “it” bowl.

This Broccoli Rice Bowl with Pomegranate and Grilled Tofu is IT.

Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

1-pan Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad topped with toasted hazelnuts and mulberries. Serve it with a glass of Bordeaux!

My parents used to tell me that if I kept frowning like that, my face would stay that way, which really only made me frown harder.

Recently, I saw a meme that read, “It takes XX (insert low number) muscles to smile and XX (insert high number) muscles to frown. Frown harder, let’s get ripped!”

Laugh. Out. Loud.

Lately, though, I feel like my face is frozen in permanent photographer face; the Canon body pressing firming into my third eye while my right eye is all squinty.

The face only a mother could love?

The face I make when I’m about to take the perfect picture of Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad…

So…am I ripped yet?

Cacao Dusted Dark Chocolate Truffles

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Easy vegan chocolate truffles made with dark chocolate, coconut milk, and a light cacao powder finish. Perfect for a simple decadent treat!

Happy December!

Today we decorated our freshly cut blue spruce it with all of the ornaments while Harper watched with attentive curiosity.

What are your holiday traditions?

When I was little we had advent calendars that I tended to each day in December, gingerly opening the cardboard door to reveal a new festive scene.

Opening those tiny squares gave me the same instant satisfaction that crossing off a day on the calendar does on my massive wall calendar today.

Moving toward something GREAT.

So, I need to know, without the advent calendar, can we still eat the chocolates behind the open doors?

How about we truffle it out these 25 days of Christmas.

These Cacao Dusted Dark Chocolate Truffles are the perfect way sweet way to start the holiday season simply and sweetly.

I love the anticipation leading up to holidays almost as much (or more??) as the holiday itself.

Kind of like this big macro bowl that I dreamed it up around Thanksgiving.

While most tables are centered around meatier mains during the holiday season, I’m over here dying to show you how darn festive plants can be.

Here’s how I mix all of my favorites to create a yummy plant-based bowl that’s packed with protein, seasonal veggies, and holiday garnishes.

Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies bursting with cranberries and chocolate chips. Oil-free, grain-free, and sweetened with maple syrup.

Who else agrees that baking > shopping?

This might be the first Black Friday in the history of Black Fridays that I didn’t purchase anything.

Nada. Zilch. Zero.

This speaks volumes, because I used to create tactical lists and battle tactics to ensure I hit all of my favorite stores and their enticing sales.

These days, combating hundreds of humans hungry for the sweetest savings makes me tired and anxious just thinking about.

I did, however, brave the day for a yoga class with my sister, embark on a grocery trip (can we have a day of savings there, please?!), oh, and I did some serious holiday baking.

You’re going to want to add these Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies to your holiday baking list.

They’re bursting with cranberries and chocolate with a modest ingredient list and a fool-proof almond flour base!

Healthier sweet potato casserole that’s low sugar, gluten-free, and grain-free with a pecan cookie crumble. Perfect to share with family as a holiday side!

Confession: I may or may not have started listening to Christmas music this week.

In my defense, I always feel a few weeks ahead of the rest of the world because in the “blogger-sphere” we constantly anticipate the upcoming seasonal recipes.

Dan came downstairs and told me it was a little weird, seeing as how it wasn’t Thanksgiving and all.

Ok, ok. We can give thanks first.

In my last post, I talked about how Thanksgiving sides rule, so today I want to introduce you to the one side that rules them all.

Ahem.

I’m talking smashed sweet potatoes, pure maple syrup, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans.
