Oil-Free Chunky Tahini Granola

Easy oil-free chunky granola with tahini and an optional chocolate twist. Perfect for breakfast, snack, dessert, and eating by the handful.

Happy first official day of spring, friends!

I’m writing this post curled up on the couch with Harper, watching white snowflakes descend on us from outside the window.

Spring, indeed.

I was sort of kicking myself for not having something “brighter” to share with you today, but then everything happens for a reason, yes?

The reason being this Oil-Free Chunky Tahini Granola that you can make not one way, but two!

If I had a Nor’easter survival guide, you can bet this extra chunky granola would be in there.

It’s perfectly sweet and crunchy and comes together in 30 mins with simple ingredients from your cabinet!

5-ingredient balls packed with greens and healthy fats. Kale, coconut butter, and avocado with protein powder and unrefined coconut sugar.

I’m finally home from California, and, as what tends to happen after I’m out of town, I came home craving all of the greens.

Were you thinking a kale salad with a green smoothie on the side?

I’ll save that for later.

They’re perfect to meal prep for a satisfying snack, dessert, or anytime treat for Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend.

If anyone tries to pinch you, just throw a fat ball at them.

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy grain-free, gluten-free, plant-based burritos made with black beans and collard leaves! Stuffed with veg and topped with beet salsa and tahini drizzle.

This morning I posted on Instagram and asked how everyone’s Wednesday was going.

Which is all fine and good, except that it’s Tuesday.

It’s the last day of travel for us here in California, and if you can’t tell, I’m sort of losing track of the day and time.

Yesterday we saw Napa Valley and today we drive to Sonoma and then on to San Fransisco!

But really, vacation brain or not, how could I forget a “Taco Tuesday”, particularly when I have such a killer Mexican-inspired recipe to share with you?

You’re going to love these Black Bean Collard Burritos stuffed with a mix of raw and roasted veggies and topped with a fun and fresh Beet Salsa!

Happy Sunday, friends!

I’m writing to you from the road today.

I just finished up at Expo West and Dan and I are on the road to Napa (Napa!!!) for the next few days to take a mini vacation before heading back to Virginia.

Being away from home for a week is kind of a big deal to me.

I crave an idealistically long, spontaneous, unrehearsed getaway…but I’m also craving a protein-packed bowl.

In my kitchen.

You know???

I’ve come to accept that I’m a homebody, while realizing the value in continually making the decision to do things outside of my comfort zone.

Like traveling across the country and refraining from packing the kitchen sink.

I always enter our condo post-vacation filled with the most acute appreciation for my kitchen and everything it.

The minute I got home, as soon as I dawn my favorite pajama pants, I’m making this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry.

It comes together in 10 minutes with simple ingredients for an easy plant-based power bowl that’s perfect for weeknight meals and meal prep!

What was your favorite ice cream flavor as a kid?

I went through a bunch of favorites– mint chocolate chip, cookies ‘n’ cream, butter pecan…

I’d stand in the line at Baskin Robbins with my family, changing my order over and over again in my head until it was my turn standing in front of the guy at the cash register.

At the last minute, I’d revert back to my original choice.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, duh!

I’m bringing it back in this post with this 6-ingredient Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough that comes together in under 10 minutes for a nutritious snack or dessert!

Smash it between equally delicious snack cookies and you’ve got yourself a Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough Snack-wich.

Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Sweet potato veggie burger sliders with sweet potato buns featuring Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. Stack everything up with your favorite toppings!

The yoga studio I go to is a solid 30 minute drive, sometimes more if there’s any traffic.

Many evenings I’m that girl, running up the steps to the studio lugging my heavy Manduka yoga mat and a water bottle under one arm.

I put on the brakes right before entering the studio so I can maintain some semblance of being a zen yogi, ready for practice.

I don’t think I’m fooling anyone.

I always emerge from my practice and the hot hot room fan hour later calmer, clearer, chill-er, oh, and HUNGRY.

On the walk down to the car I quickly assess the leftover situation and then get Dan on speed dial to ask him to preheat the oven to 400, please.

These Hilary’s Sweet Potato Sliders are currently my go-to post yoga noms for a quick plant-based meal that’s fun, filling, and FAST.
