Hey, you.

Are you enjoying the most wonderful time of the year?

Currently, my annual snowmen Christmas card box is sitting on our dining room table, glittery and unopened.

With Christmas roughly two weeks away, I’m also finding ways to stuff a little festive flair into everything, including my overnight oats.

Maple Tahini Overnight Oats

Extra creamy overnight oats with a spoonful of tahini lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Prep several jars in advance for easy weekday breakfast on the go!

A friend of mine recently pointed out to me laughing over the cellphone that I tend to do things either all the way or not at all.

Yes, that’s about right.

As much as I strive for balance, my brain thrives on that black and white, 100% or 0% mentality.

This week, for instance, I was ALL IN with reinstating some structure into my mornings to make for smoother day-sailing.

This translated to getting up before the sun, sipping on a cinnamon almond matcha latte, and shuffling through a quick home workout before the world wakes up.

I flirt with being a morning person, but I think I’m finally ready to commit, guys, because spending that time for me myself and has made me feel invincible all day long.

Like, throw all of the poorly lit photography days and major recipe fails at me, because I can TAKE IT.

And because I was 100% committed to making my mornings the sturdy foundation for a high-vibe day, I decided to prep for success with some super simple overnight oats.

Hi there, Maple Tahini Overnight Oats, my most special 5-ingredient friend and fuel.

Easy stovetop oats sweetened with apple butter and dressed up for fall with a crunchy seed and nut blend. Perfect for an easy anytime breakfast.

Happy Fall, officially.

I wore long sleeves for the first time yesterday while Dan and I walked around Old Town Alexandria for a Wellness + Fitness Festival and when the wind picked up on the waterfront I felt that deep sense of renewal that comes with changing seasons.

Also that stubborn resilience of the human condition, like, chilly weather, come at me, I’m wearing a long sleeved shield, yo.

Other things that make me feel nourished and warm on colder mornings (like today– 59 degrees and rainy!) are big bowls of warm oatmeal.

I enjoyed overnight oats all summer long for a quick grab and go breakfast, but now I’m ready to stand over the stove top for a few to get warm, how about you?

Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Cozy hot chocolate overnight oats with a decadent chocolate cashew cream. Perfect for a quick meal prepped breakfast. Serve chilled or warm!

Hi, everyone!

This week I went “LIVE” for the first time on Instagram.

I love taking photos and I’ve gotten pretty comfortable in front of a lens, but put me in front of a video camera and I turn into jello.

Weird jello.

Naturally I was nervous, like opening and closing blinds to check the lighting and reapplying lip balm nervous, and then Harper ditched me on the couch seconds before the camera went rolling.

But it was a lot of fun and I got to have a great conversation with one of my favorite brands.

The conversation took me out of my own head and reminded me to focus on communicating a message instead of obsessing on the perception of it.

It was a gentle reminder to myself to continue to do things that put me outside of my comfort zone.

Here’s one for you: Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats with Chocolate Cashew Cream.

You’re going to love this easy and decadent blend to start off the day, paired with a creamy 3-ingredient chocolate cashew cream.

Throw it all in a jar and treat yourself to hot chocolate in the morning.

Comfort zones be darned.

Creamy Stovetop Cauliflower Oats

By Flora & Vino 5 Comments

Easy stovetop creamy cauliflower oats recipe packed with veggie goodness that you won’t even taste. The perfect weekday breakfast that you can dress up or down in 10 minutes!

Even though it’s New Years, we still have our tree up.

I know some people like to take it down right away to signal the end to the holiday season and the beginning of a new year, but I like to leave it up as long as possible to hold onto the holiday cheer and the smell of pine.

But that’s OK because Dan’s grandma told me that it’s customary to leave your tree up until at LEAST mid-January.

And who am I not to listen to my elders?

As well as being a total rebel in the tree department, I’m also rocking the oatmeal world with these Creamy Stovetop Cauliflower Oats.

Say whatttt?
