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.

I’m calling it a Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini Gravy and I think you’re going to love it.

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

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.

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.

Spring Macro Bowl by Flora & Vino

Happy Spring, friends!

The days are finally starting to feel longer and warmer and I’m dreaming about vacations and outdoor adventures and all of the seasonal green veggies.

This Spring Macro Bowl is the partial realization of those dreams (now where’s the beach and fruity drink?), and the culmination of all of my favorite spring veggies in one giant bowl.

Roasted Carrot, Beet, & Lentil Macro Bowl with Oil-Free Maple Tahini

Roasted Carrot, Beet, & Lentil Macro Bowl with Oil-Free Maple Tahini by Flora & Vino

Last night I deleted the TO DO list that I’ve compiled on my phone since 2011.

By accident.

Yeah, that happened.

I was messing around inside the Reminders app, swiping up and down and mentally grunting and groaning at some of the tasks that have literally been on there for…years.

And…instead of deleting a line item I realized with giddy gratification I’d accomplished, I went and deleted the whole darn list.

Oops.

My first feeling was panic, sheer ‘how am I going to survive and function as a real adult without my to do list’ panic, but before I could even verbalize the terror it quickly changed to something I recognized as relief. Relief!

What?!

I could probably call Apple to try to retrieve the list from cyberspace.

I’m sure all of my “organize the closet” and “call grandma” and “go to target ” are swimming out there in the web somewhere with someone else’s dirty laundry.

Green Macro Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing

This bowl is one of those I stumbled upon while cleaning out the fridge on Sundays.

You know, one of those throw everything is a bowl and hope it tastes good kind of deals?

I love the feeling of emptying out Tupperware containers of chopped veggies and quinoa and piling them by the dishwasher to get squeaky clean before Monday comes again.

Assembling my bowls with the stragglers of the week forces me to make some creative combinations I wouldn’t normally put side by side.

And on this particular Sunday, I had handfuls of kale, steamed brocoli sliced cucumber, avo…I’m sensing a color theme here…

Give me ALL THE GREENS.
