One Pan Meals

Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta

Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta made with chickpea pasta with almond milk, marinara sauce, and nutritional yeast for an easy dinner.

Do you ever feel like making dinner is the hardest thing you do all day?

Sometimes it feels like that for me, and friends, I create food content for a living.

Really I think the “hard factor” comes from the decision fatigue of food options as opposed to the actual cook time, you know?

After a long day, the last thing you want to is learn a new recipe, test new ingredients, or dirty every pot you own.

So lately I’ve been focusing on getting back to classic recipes that allow me to think less about food, if that makes sense.

The shorter the ingredient list, the better!

I’ve been keeping a 1-pot pasta from you for several years now, and I think it’s the perfect opportunity to share.

This Creamy Vegan 1-Pot Pasta is made with chickpea pasta, almond milk, marinara, and nutritional yeast for an easy dinner.

You can make it as elevated or basic as you’d like by adding or subtracting garnishes and sides.

Either way, you’re guaranteed a healthy meal that’s ready in 1-pot in 10 minutes.

Think how much of your precious brain space that frees up!

SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Cozy SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls made with rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables in a delicious SunButter sauce. Serve with optional tofu!

Hi friends!

Amidst all of the holiday sides and festive cookies and cakes, I’d like to share with you a cozy dinner to break up the sameness.

I think it’s important to have a few easy cozy dishes on repeat during this season when things can be so joyous yet so hectic.

This recipe was born on a Friday evening; the best time to get a party started.

Usually on Friday nights we have either A. pizza, or B. something new and elevated that we make together.

This recipe is obviously not pizza, so it fell in the later category of Friday night dinners.

We didn’t have a lot to work with that evening, but we managed to turn that ancient package of Ramen from the cupboard into something amazing.

These SunButter Ramen Noodle Bowls are made with rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables in a delicious SunButter sauce.

Serve them with optional tofu and enjoy this meal any time you’re craving noodles.

Happy new year, friends!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday and a very happy new year.

It always feels like we have *so* much time off, and then it flies by, right?

We spent Christmas with my family in Virginia and in the week between Christmas and New Years did all of my favorite things.

We visited a new Maryland vineyard, went indoor rock climbing, hiked at Harper’s Ferry, and dined at the Fancy Radish in DC.

I relished those quiet days between 2022 and 2023; suspended between past and future, I felt purely present.

Yesterday I went to an intention setting yoga workshop and scribbled in my journal between asana, meditation, and breath work.

Your girl has some big intentions for the new year and some big changes to embrace.

Then I completed a massive meal prep session because nothing makes me feel more calm and collected than a fridge full of food.

Lately, I’m loving this Vegetable Mole Sheet Pan Meal for some cozy winter meal prep.

SunButter Quinoa Fried Rice

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Vegan quinoa fried “rice” with vegetables and a spoonful of SunButter. This hearty plant-based meal is a great way to use leftover quinoa!

The highlight of my week was installing a mail holder next to the front door.

Well, I have to credit M for the installation, because I mostly stood watch and made invaluable suggestions on centering and placement.

Once it was mounted, I delighted in hanging my keys, sunglasses, clean face masks, and unopened mail on the hooks in the the slots.

Now the entry way looks eerily empty and foreign without the piles of envelopes and accessories in piles by the welcome mat.

Organization is a beautiful thing.

Which is basically what I’ve been doing all January.

Organizing in my personal and professional life.

Initiating order in chaos.

I’ve also been enjoying cooking for myself after being mostly cooked for during my time abroad.

This SunButter Quinoa Fried Rice was the first home-cooked meal I made for us post-Germany.

This dish is hearty and satisfying while being packed with vegetables and “takeout flavor” without taking out the nutrition.

Grab a big pan, a jar of SunButter, and put away the takeout menu!

Teriyaki Sheet Pan Meal

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

One pan meal with chickpeas, broccoli, sweet potato, and mushrooms in a homemade low-sodium low sugar teriyaki sauce. Perfect for meal prep!

Guys, this week I gave my very first haircut.

I’m not sure if it was braver on my part or his.

After a 30 second YouTube tutorial and zero prior experience, I sat him down on the edge of the spare bathroom bathtub.

Wait, I said, before starting, them scampered to grab a sea foam green towel from the linen closet that I draped around his shoulders.

“So professional,” he said, and I snorted as I measured tufts of hair between fingers then snipped with crude kitchen aid Kitchen shears.

I started out timid, taking only shy centimeters of split ends off.

Then I got braver, and the whole ’do started to take shape the way my drawing final in art class became 3D with charcoal shading and my food photos draw in the eye with a well placed S curve.

It’s an art.

And it was fun!

I only nicked his ear once with the razor (oops!), and managed not to cut either party, so I’m going to call it a smashing success.

Overall, I think he was pretty satisfied with the job.

Next time I should charge, right?

Before you get super excited about a potential Flora & Vino salon opening, let’s all calm down and bake a sheet pan meal.

This Teriyaki Sheet Pan Meal is cozy for the dropping temperatures with nourishing vegetables and an easy homemade teriyaki sauce!

Today is two weeks until Thanksgiving and yesterday was six weeks until the new year.

Luckily, I hope this Tri-Colored Roasted Cauliflower Salad can help us with our holiday dish scramble.

It’s the perfect side dish to add some cozy color to any plant-based plate!

You just need one pan, three heads of cauliflower, the perfect neutral, high-heat cooking oil, and your favorite fresh herb to bring this salad to your dining room table.
