Peaches ‘N’ Quinoa Salad & Pinot Grigio

Celebrate summer with this easy and light peach salad. Juicy peaches, crunchy pecans, hearty quinoa, and fresh spinach with maple tahini dressing.

I don’t get to the farmer’s market enough, guys.

I went there this weekend with Dan and Harper on Saturday morning, and it was such a treat!

Everything was ridiculously fresh and appealing, and I really wanted to just buy the whole stand and take it to go.

Instead, I picked out some juicy yellow peaches and a few bags of freshly picked spinach for a fresh summer salad.

This Peaches ‘N’ Quinoa Salad is simple and sweet with only a handful of ingredients to keep things light and easy for summer.

All you need is some juicy stone-fruit and an optional glass of white!

Does anyone else go on epic food routine streaks?

No one can ever say I’m not committed in the kitchen.

Right now, I’m in a big quinoa bowl phase.

My commitment to my latest and greatest recipe is a bit staggering, I must say, and I’m just hoping that doesn’t mean I won’t be sick of it come July.

Roasted strawberry yogurt bowls topped with roasted strawberries! Roast your extra berries and enjoy for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Good morning and happy Sunday, loves.

I’m having one of those “get sh$!” done kind of mornings where I tackle all of those things on my TO-DO list that I didn’t realize were brain bog until they’re gone.

Whew.

The week feels lighter and it hasn’t even started yet.

In this same commitment to summer simplicity, I’m keeping my breakfasts light and breezy lately.

These Roasted Strawberry Yogurt Bowls are the perfect way to use up extra berries and create a fun spin on your (occasionally) too predictable yogurt bowl.

All you need is an excess of berries, your favorite yogurt, and some fun mix-ins!

Is your fridge overflowing with fresh berries like mine?

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I LOVE berries.

They’re my favorite fruit because they tend to be a little lower sugar and always make my mornings feel a little brighter.

Usually I throw them on my yogurt bowls fresh and simple (delicious), but sometimes I like to mix things up with some heat.

We went strawberry picking a few weeks ago and I came home with way too many berries.

What’s a berry lover to do with an excess of fresh strawberries?

…Roast ’em.

Hi friends!

How was your Memorial Day weekend?

It was a little overcast here in Virginia, but I was fortunate to be able to spend time outdoors and with family.

With the workweek back in full swing, I felt like we needed an easy pragmatic (but delicious) breakfast to start off the week, what do you think?

Since we didn’t get much sun this weekend, I decided to create my own in overnight oats fashion.

Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls with baked broccoli, edamame, and raw veggies in a creamy oil-free miso tahini dressing.

Who else watched the royal wedding over the weekend?!

I didn’t set my alarm to watch like some of my friends did, but I might have teared up a little while making my lazy Sunday breakfast when Prince Harry and Meghan *finally* embraced.

I milled about the kitchen listening to the light commentary that followed on the news stations all morning, feeling good about the whole affair and the state of the world and all that.

Can we have more moments like that, please?

If you’re having some major royal wedding withdrawals too, it’s cool, because I have a royal meal idea for you this week.

These Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls are the perfect plant-based combination to fuel your extraordinary life!

Did I tell you that I’m embarking on my 200-hr yoga teacher training this fall?

I’ve been feeling for a while now that “this is the year”, and when I opened up the monthly newsletter from my yoga studio (something I never do) and saw the notice about the training this fall, I emailed back immediately for more information.

It starts in September.

It’s happening.

I’ve never felt so strong, powerful, and fit as I do after accomplishing a sweaty Vinyasa flow, and I’m excited to learn more about the practice and to share it with others.

As with any active lifestyle, what you choose to fuel you is equally as important to keep those vibes high.

Easy Raw Cashew Cheese & Rosé

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Raw cashew cheese made with cashews, lemon, garlic, and nutritional yeast. Serve with veggies, crackers, fruit, and a glass of Rosé!

Did I ever tell you guys that Dan and I got married at a vineyard?

Yes, this year marks that scorching hot day in July when we said “I DO,” and enjoyed a glass of Rosé afterwards.

It’s that time of year again when winery lawns become alive with picnics and puppies and PEOPLE.

Plant-based options for dining at a vineyard are usually slim to none, so, naturally I roll in with my mini-cooler packed with all the snacks.

Some of my favorites are trail-mix, raw bars, or hummus and veggies to enjoy with a glass of my favorite.

Sometimes, though, nothing beats the creamy, salty, sharp taste of cheese to pair with a glass of wine, you know?

Enter this Easy Raw Cashew Cheese to compliment all of your summer shenanigans!

It’s the the perfect plant-based companion for picnics, parties, or portable healthy snacking made with only 8 real ingredients.

Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal seasoned with harissa paste, fresh mint, and tahini. Enjoy by itself or served over greens or grains.

Hi friends!

Do you have a Cava near you?

I discovered this Mediterranean fast-food-ish type place a little over a year ago after meeting a friend there for lunch.

We were there during the work-week rush so I ordered in a hurry, fearing the wrath of the guys in suits behind me on business lunch hour.

I ended up getting something with harissa and veggies and it was gloriously good.

Recently and separately, Dan discovered it too, so when he told me, “There’s this place I think you would like…it has your type of food…”

I totally didn’t say I found it first…(HA).

But I did find this Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal first…#braggingrights.

This easy one-pan meal has a great combination of hot and cool flavors that keeps each bite interesting.

Spicy chili pepper and cayenne balanced out by creamy tahini and cooling mint.

Is it hot?

Is it cold?

It’s just YUM.

It definitely keeps the Cava cravings at bay, as the closest one to me is at least 30 minutes away!

Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl (Fruit-Free)

By Flora & Vino 5 Comments

Creamy chocolate fruit-free smoothie bowl packed with veggies and naturally sweetened with japanese yam. Perfect for an energizing breakfast or snack.

Time.

Have you got it?

I want to know– were we always this busy, or, as a collective did we suddenly take on more than we can do (and chew)?

Last night in yoga, my instructor talked about how our perceived lack of time is all a matter of mindset.

Basically, that we make time for the things that matter.

“You made time for yoga,” she said, strolling through the parted sea of down dogs to the back of the studio room.

This is true, I thought, hanging out in down dog with the clarity and calm that always finds me at the studio.

And amidst all of the ceaseless tasks and torturous to-dos, guess what?!

I also made time to make a smoothie bowl.

This Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl only requires 10 minutes and a handful of ingredients, so no excuses, because you’ve got time too, boo.
