The Quickest Vegan Curry

Easy vegan curry made with coconut milk, warming spices, and your favorite veggies. Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice or by itself!

Helllllllo.

Did you watch the Academy Awards on Sunday?

I may or may not have teared up over my dinner when Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper took the stage to sing “Shallow”.

Oh, maybe I didn’t tell you yet– I finally watched A Star Is Born last week and I’ve been low-key obsessed with the movie and music ever since.

Which looks like me listening to the soundtrack on repeat in the studio with my camera hovering over my curry.

Curry! Do you like it?

Dan hates the smell of it, but I love everything about it, so he dealt with the aromatic kitchen after I tested and retested today’s post.

The Quickest Vegan Curry is what you need in your life to get you through the rest of winter.

Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars

By Flora & Vino 13 Comments

Easy raspberry oat crumble bars made with just 6 whole food ingredients. Perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert.

Relationship status: My taste buds and I are kind of broken up.

It’s definitely them and not me– it’s like they’ve gone on sensory strike after being overworked and exhausted.

I’ve just felt a little off lately, the usual *go to* foods sounding less than appealing.

Last night I pushed the mound of asparagus aside and couldn’t fathom forking the spears and eating them.

Which is I why I practically force-fed this recipe to Dan, asking for his most critical feedback.

He reported back that they were “good”, and “like a real breakfast bar”, so I’m going to take that as a compliment.

So…if you don’t like these Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars, you know who to blame.

But what’s not to love about these nutritious breakfast bars that are made with just 7 ingredients for a convenient snack or meal?!

Trust the buds and let’s get baking.

Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles with a creamy almond butter sauce. This under 30 minutes meal is perfect for weeknight dinners!

Hi there!

How was your week?

Did you send/receive any Valentines?

We stayed in last night and opened a bottle of red and made Chocolate Coconut Covered Strawberries while Harper padded back and forth, looking for a pet or a strawberry or maybe both.

So I can’t complain.

We have plans to go to my favorite restaurant this weekend, but until then I made you a little something gourmet from my own kitchen.

I’ll be honest: these Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles are kind of the best thing ever.

They come together in under 30 minutes for a quick nutritious dinner that tastes indulgent while being sneakily nutritious.

All you need is one-pan and the guts to drown your veggies in nut butter sauce.

Got it?

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have seen these Red Velvet Overnight Oats with Raspberry Beet Purée pop up on my Instagram feed circa 2018.

I shared them last year on Valentine’s Day along with simple recipe, but that one day of love just wasn’t enough for these lovely oats.

They’re thick, chocolate-y, lightly sweet, and packed with protein and texture.

I think you’ll support my decision to share the recipe on the blog so it can have a forever home here.

Are you surviving the Polar Vortex?

It’s been too cold here to do much of anything, and Harper and I are feeling a little stir-crazy.

The kind of crazy that makes you bake all day and then jump around to an intense dance workout at 7 PM because…cold.

Aside from getting back into cardio (it’s been a while!), I made three batches of Peanut Butter and Jelly Crisscross Cookies.

These easy oil-free, gluten-free, and no sugar added cookies really hit the spot for a quick nutritious snack.

You can have them on the table in 10 minutes with just 6 ingredients!

This messy marrying of peanut butter and jelly in quick cookie form is one you don’t want to be without when the temps drop.

So let’s drop it like it’s (not) HOT.

Swiss Chard Abundance Salad packed with superfoods and an easy oil-free orange tahini dressing. Perfect for meal prep and workweek lunches.

How is January halfway over?

We’re past the midway month point and I haven’t even shared a salad recipe with you.

I’m going to blame the snow.

It’s still mostly white here in Virginia, but I laced up my Sorel snow boots this afternoon and took Harper on a long snow-walk anyway.

We paused for a second 30 minutes in, surrounded by soft snow and gray branches against pink skies– and guys, it was so quiet and so beautiful.

I wanted to bottle up that silence and add it to a permanent highlight reel in my brain.

This month has been anything but quiet, kicking off 2019 in southpaw stance.

Allow this Swiss Chard Abundance Salad with Easy Orange Tahini to be the calm amidst your January storm.

It screams “eat the rainbow” while being packed with superfoods and a citrus based oil-free dressing.

Broccoli Rice Bowl with Pomegranate & Grilled Tofu

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Plant-based bowl with a grain-free broccoli rice base piled with fresh veggies, grilled tofu, pomegranate seeds, and a light dressing.

Do you still read magazines?

Not online, but physical magazines that come to your house with glossy covers and colorful contents dripping with advertisements.

I used to sit on the floor of my college bookstore between classes nestled between the magazine racks, fashion magazines strewn in an arc around me.

I was obsessed with how pretty and polished everything looked, staring at red bottoms dressed in sneakers and wishing my fairy god-mother might show up and send me to the ball instead of my next exam.

After college I took a break from mags because, well, they kind of just made me want to buy everything.

Today, I’m kind of getting back into magazines, but instead of looking for the latest “it” bag I’m seeking the latest “it” bowl.

This Broccoli Rice Bowl with Pomegranate and Grilled Tofu is IT.

Holiday macro bowl with miso tahini gravy perfect for the holidays or anytime you’re craving a hearty mix of whole foods.

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.

Hey, everyone.

How was your week?

Also, how is Thanksgiving day in exactly TWO WEEKS?

Yes, the Thanksgiving feast is coming, but I thought we could start out small, with an appetizer of sorts.

I thought we could start the festivities with Purple Sweet Potato Muffins.

They’re oil-free, gluten-free, vegan, and refined-sugar-free, making them a suitable treat for everyone in the fam.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that I’m pretty obsessed with purple sweet potatoes.

When my girlfriends came over for brunch a few weeks back I made them goodie bags of my favorite products.

In passing, I threatened to stuff a purple potato in there, because they’re that good!

I have quite a history with purple sweet potatoes so far.

Remember when I added them ti Overnight Oats, stuffed them with Tandoori Spiced Chickpeas, and whipped them into hummus on toast?!

And now it’s time to bake them into muffins.
