Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice Tabbouleh Bowls by Flora & Vino

I think it’s the artichoke in these bowls that has me hypnotized.

Or maybe it’s the delicious herbed tofu cubes.

Or that big dollop of hummus and mess of veggie-packed cauli rice tabbouleh…

Your turn.

Spring Macro Bowl by Flora & Vino

Happy Spring, friends!

It’s always that last stretch of winter that really feels the longest and the coldest, isn’t it?

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.

Kale “Caesar” Salad with Avocado Tahini Cream & Crispy Chickpea Croutons

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Simple plant-based caesar salad with crispy chickpea “croutons” and a creamy oil-free avocado tahini dressing. Perfect for meal prep and weekday lunches!

Kale "Caesar" Salad with Avocado Tahini Cream & Crispy Chickpea Croutons by Flora & Vino

When I first delved into finer dining on dates and amongst friends, I got nervous ordering off of the food menu.

I always ordered a Caesar salad in those instances because it’s easy to pronounce and tasty to eat.

You know exactly what you’re going to get with a Caesar.

Plentiful salad green smothered in creamy white dressing with buttery croutons and flecks of parmesan.

My ordering anxiety is gone now, which is good, because this Kale Caesar with Avocado Tahini Cream & Crispy Chickpea Croutons isn’t quite as easy to pronounce, but just as easy to fall head over heels for.

Green Macro Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Healthy macro bowl packed with greens! Perfect to reset and fuel with a balance of macronutrients topped with an oil-free turmeric tahini dressing.

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.

Green Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Plant-based green curry with fresh spring vegetables served over cauliflower rice. Perfect for weeknight dinner and it stores well as leftovers for lunch!

Green Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice by Flora & Vino
 
Is there anything better than a warm bowl of curry?

It’s definitely up there on my list of things that make me happy in the colder weather, along with unexpected snow days, steaming mugs of hot cocoa or tea, and roomy fuzzy sweaters (not itchy, though!).

All of your favorite veggies bobbing up and down in that fragrant creamy coconut based broth…

This time of year, everyone has green on the brain.

Green for spring, the unspoken word on everyone’s parched lips.

The majority of the cold is over but spring feels like it’ll never get here.

I was hoping to score a few cozy snow days in before my birthday (April 2nd), but it looks like that might not happen.

If you’re like me, you’re pretty much over the cold weather after the charm of Christmas is in the rear view mirror.

If it’s going to be cold, the weather could at least be pretty about it and give us some fluffy white stuff.

I’m getting through the seasonal dissonance by experimenting with new curry combinations in the kitchen.

This Green Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice is so hot, it’ll definitely give Mother Nature the hint hint hint.

My Favorite "Tray Dinner" - Roasted Sweet Potato, Brussel Sprouts, & Chickpeas (Roasted Sweet Potato, Brussel Sprouts, & Chickpeas by Flora & Vino

This meal is dedicated to those nights when you need something quick, comforting, healthy (but please not boring), for dinner.

It’s also quite possibly my favorite simple meal. One that I immediately draw from my mental cookbook when I don’t know what else to make.

What’s not to love about a one pan meal that’s packed with roasted veg, protein, and seductive herbs and spices?

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies.

The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
