Tempeh Reuben Bowl with Hemp Heart Ranch by Flora & Vino

This past week M and I mapped out our new daily walk around the neighborhood. 

We used the blinking blue dot on Google maps to pinpoint our location and make connections between intersecting streets and trails. 

28 minutes– the number we ended up with as we stood outside of our new place with the old doormat, reading “There’s No Place Like Home” in the bristles. 

M has never seen The Wizard of Oz, so I’ve added it to the top of our To-Do list.

“I feel like it’ll be better to watch in the Fall,” I explained, dreaming of crunchy leaves and cooler winds and muted colors. 

But for now, it’s still hot, and I’m living on bowls at the new place. 

Today’s recipe isn’t complex, but it’s tasty, packed with plant-based protein, an oil-free dressing, and plenty of kraut. 

This vegan reuben is served in a bowl with romaine lettuce, cabbage, tempeh bacon, and sauerkraut, served with a creamy hemp heart ranch. 

Let’s make sandwiches into bowls with this Tempeh Reuben Bowl with Hemp Heart Ranch!

Chickpea Meal Prep Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing by Flora & Vino

I’ve been happy lately, friends.

Maybe it’s the warmer weather, or maybe it’s just a newfound perspective this summer.

It feels like things are shifting, changing, and becoming.

Like good things are on the tip of my tongue, about to spill over my lips and into fruition.

I’m emerging from quarantine feeling the vibration of potential and possibilities that the remainder of the year allows.

My intention for 2020 was *forward* and I’ve definitely tested that two syllable word to the fullest in the past month.

Shedding old identities, stories, and thought patterns and trying on new ones.

In the midst of all of this self reflection and discovery, I haven’t really wanted to cook fancy meals.

In fact, I haven’t been thinking much about food at all.

There, I said it.

But, in the midst of so much change, we still need to eat and eat well.

This Chickpea Meal Prep Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing is perfect to make for an easy plant-based meal!

Cannellini Bean, Quinoa, & Kraut Bowl

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Satisfying macro bowl with greens, cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potato, avocado, and plenty of sauerkraut. Perfect for meal prep and workweek lunches!

Cannellini Bean, Quinoa, & Kraut Bowl by Flora & Vino

Guys, I need to decorate.

My friend and photographer came over to take some photos of me in my home this week for the blog.

I had the idea to use my couch for the scene, my beige couch with an expansive blank white wall above it that stretches from the window to the wall.

A blank white wall that could *really* use a painting, a decorative shelf, a framed photo….SOMETHING.

But I didn’t have anything, so instead we worked hard to place plants and bright pillows and cheerful coffee mugs to give the scene some zest.

The white walls were acceptable when I moved in 5 months ago, but now they feel a bit harsh and unwelcoming.

I just don’t quite know where to start, you know?

One of my best friends told me, just put one thing up and go from there.

Well, OK, that sounds easy enough.

Maybe I should just put up some food photos and call it a day.

What do you think about blowing up this Cannellini Bean, Quinoa, & Kraut Bowl in all it’s colorful macrobiotic glory as the focal point for my living room?

This bowl is packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, probiotics, and complex carbs to keep you healthy and satisfied!

Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Easy weeknight dinner idea with tempeh, sweet potato noodles, and broccoli florets drizzled with lemon and tahini. Perfect for a fuss-free meal prep.

Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl by Flora & Vino

Hi!

How are you new year intentions going?

I didn’t really set any hard fast goals other than that I wanted to start meal-prepping again.

Somewhere in the midst of moving and holiday deadlines I decided that it was OK to eat out on the daily.

Yes, even food bloggers can spend way too much money on prepared food.

“But Lauren, don’t you eat the food you make?”” my friends often ask, perplexed.

Well, yes, but the eats don’t always work out that conveniently.

Allow me to explain.

During my busy holiday season, for example, I might have cookie recipes to share with you all week.

Cookies on the counter, cookies in the freezer, cookies in the fridge, cookies on my photography backdrop board, more cookies in the oven.

Yum. Cookies galore.

But it’s either eat cookies for lunch and dinner or suck it buttercup and dirty up the dishes I just spent an hour cleaning to making something savory.

This is where meal prep comes in clutch for me, and maybe for you too, friend.

You might not be surrounded by multiple cookie recipes but you might be in a work environment where you can’t break to make a feel good meal.

I’m not talking making 25 meals on Sunday evening pre-portioned in Tupperware.

I am talking about having readily available washed and chopped vegetables, fruit, and plant-protein prepared with potential in the fridge.

Which is precisely why I love this Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl so darn much.

It comes together in less than 30 minutes for a vegan and gluten-free plant-powered bowl!

Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini Gravy

I’m getting pretty excited about Christmas, guys.

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.

Big & Spicy Hummus Meal Prep Bowl

Does anyone else go on epic food routine streaks?

Once I find a combination that I like, I do it on repeat until the thought of repeating it makes me feel a little nauseous.

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.

Because I’ve been making this Big & Spicy Hummus Meal Prep Bowl nearly every day for two weeks.

Come on, get a little obsessed with me, won’t you?

Sweet & Savory Macro Bowl with Lemon Tahini Dressing by Flora & Vino

Where did the summer go, friends?

I feel like I blinked and missed it.

Sure, we still technically have a month left according to the calendar, but as soon as September hits I know that warm weather days are numbered.

At the same time I do get all tingly when I think about crunchy fallen leaves, the inescapable pumpkin everything, and crisp cool autumn air.

I’m starting to add hints of fall to my food and my favorite combination lately has been this macro bowl with sweet baked butternut squash, toasty quinoa, salty olives and kraut, creamy avocado, and a bright lemon tahini dressing.

If you’re not feeling the fall feels yet, allow this Sweet & Savory Macro Bowl with Lemon Tahini Dressing to be the most seamless of transitions for you.

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls

I’m a hot weather person for sure, but it’s been too hot in Virginia, even by my standards.

Like it’s working *way* too hard.

I welcome you to cool off with me by making this super easy Mexican Macro Bowl!

This macro bowl is inspired by all of the seasonal colorful tomatoes, ears of corn, and giant zucchini you probably have sitting in your fridge right now.

Because don’t they say that spicy foods cool you down?

Helllllloooooo, friends!

It’s good to be home.

Even on my most carefully planned vacations I always seem to come home with an insatiable craving for vegetables.

Does this happen to you too?

Oh, what I wouldn’t have done for this Garden Tempeh Macro Bowl with Hemp Heart Ranch when I hobbled in the door with my three (yes, three) suitcases Friday night.

Summer Beet Macro Bowl with Sweet Beet Tahini by Flora & Vino

Is it summer yet?

OK, so, not officially, but the signs of summer are all here.

My comfy flip flops evicted the TOMs and boots resting on my shoe rack, big bulbous green watermelons are parked at grocery store entrances, and our local pool down the street is splashing with activity.

You can totally see summer in my bowls, too.

I’m currently loading them up with raw vegetables and brighter dressings to welcome summer with open arms.

You’re going to love this Summer Beet Macro Bowl with Sweet Beet Tahini to BEET the HEAT.
