Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders

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.

Protein-packed plant-based chili made with tempeh, bell peppers, and a spicy oil-free base. Perfect for meal prep and easy weeknight dinners.

When does soup season end, friends?

Asking for a friend.

And because I wanted to squeeze at least one more bowl in before things start to heat up.

I might be too late, though, because it’s almost 70 degrees here today in February!

I’m going to share a recipe with you like it’s winter, OK?

Ironically enough, tomorrow’s forecast calls for 100% chance of several inches of snow.

So if we prep this Spicy Tempeh Bell Pepper Chili tonight, it’ll be perfect for the cold weekend ahead, yes?

It’s the perfect oil-free, gluten-free, and protein-packed soup to cozy up to no matter the weather!

Happy almost Valentine’s Day, loves.

I’ve got an easy recipe for you today that’s fresh and festive.

You’re going to love this No-Sugar-Added Raspberry Chia Seed Jam!

I’ve kept this bright berry spread under the radar for a few months now, waiting to share it during citrus season when romance is in the air.

It’s thick, spreadable, naturally sweet, and requires only 4 ingredients and 20 minutes to mix up.

To be fair, I DID warn you about my current PB&J phase.

And who would I be to share a jam recipe without a sufficiently quirky peanut butter pairing?

Try these Apple Chip PB&J Bites for a fun grain-free and gluten-free twist on snacking.

Dark Chocolate Beet Muffins made with cacao powder and cooked beets. Perfect for snacking, breakfast, or dessert!

Hey, hey.

It’s me, the vegan muffin woman, popping in to share another delicious muffin recipe.

The groundhog saw his shadow this past week, so, does that mean 6 more weeks of winter recipes?

I feel like I bake even more after Christmas than I do during the holiday season, just to fill these cold dark months with something warm and cozy.

It snowed here on Sunday so, naturally, I stayed in and experimented with beets and chocolate.

The result was these Dark Chocolate Beet Muffins that require only 1-Bowl and a handful of ingredients!

Sometimes I feel like I get a bit boring with the most important meal of the day.

Lentil & Winter Squash Cauliflower Rice Power Bowl

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Lentil & Winter Squash Cauliflower Rice Power Bowl with brussels sprouts, red kuri squash, and lentils in a creamy tahini dressing.

Let’s set the scene.

It’s a rainy overcast day here in Virginia with a steady drizzle that’s here to stay.

Not a good photography day, but a good “let’s check off all of the mundane chores I put off all week” kind of a day.

Usually I don’t like the rain, but today it feels peaceful and reflective, like a soothing mental bath before the week ahead.

With every drip drop pitter patter it’s paving the way for new possibilities, new opportunities, new goals, new eats….

Eats like this Lentil & Winter Squash Cauliflower Rice Power Bowl.

It’s got a grain-free/gluten-free cauliflower “rice” base, protein-rich lentils, roasted winter vegetables, and a creamy oil-free tahini dressing.

Rosemary Three Bean Salad

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Rosemary three bean salad with cannellini beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas in an apple cider vinegar dressing. Perfect for potlucks and picnics!

Last weekend I decided at about 7 PM on a Saturday that our pantry situation wasn’t working for me.

I poured a glass of red, cleared off some kitchen counter space, and took out every last item I had heaped onto the buckling woven shelves.

It was one of those situations where I had to make an alarming mess before achieving a fully organized outcome.

A few hours later (after counting that I have a whopping 25 + bags of granola– granola anyone???) I had a still-packed but mostly organized pantry.

(Dan said it looked exactly the same, but I pretended he didn’t say that.)

I’ve been in “stock up” mode since we moved into our condo because I love to keep the pantry filled with all of my favorites so when I’m cooking, I’ll never run out!

The problem with this, though, is if you keep stocking up without taking STOCK of what you have, you might end up with 25 bags of granola, like me.

One of my goals for 2018 is to get creative with foods from my cabinet, so I’m sharing a recipe like that today!

This Rosemary Three Bean Salad takes only 15 minutes to prepare with ingredients I bet you’ve already got hiding in your cabinet that are nourishing and delicious!

So, dust off your cabinet collectibles, pick your three favorite BEANS and let’s get started.
