One Pan Meals

Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake

Quick 1-pan meal with three kinds of veggie noodles, chickpeas, and yogurt dill tahini sauce. Perfect for meal prep!

Are you binge-watching any good shows lately?

I recently started Lucifer, which has been thoroughly entertaining to me during the move!

It was the first comforting thing I watched in the new place, surrounded by takeout and piles and piles of freshly moved *stuff*.

With the “move” is technically over; all of said *stuff* is in one place but mentally I still feel like a moving truck with boxes waiting to be unpacked.

Which means dinner needs to be something that DOESN’T require a lot of unpacking, you feel me?

This Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake is warm, comforting, and so easy to throw together for weeknight dinners!

1-Pan Tofu Cacciatore with Zoodles

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

1-pan Tofu Cacciatore with Zoodles, bell pepper, onions, tomato, and tofu cubes for protein. Perfect for easy weeknight dinner!

How long have you been digging the plant-based life?

When the doctor asked me recently how long I’d been vegan, I had to stop and do that thing where you mentally count on your fingers.

1…2…3…4…5…

“Six years this fall!” I said, surprising myself.

Wow, that’s a whole lot of plants, friends.

Considering it’s my 6-year “plantiversary”, let’s cozy up to this 1-Pan Tofu Cacciatore with Zoodles.

One pan to rule them all packed with peppers, protein, and simply delicious seasoning over zucchini spirals!

Dan’s been gone on travel the past few days and Harper has been moping around acting like she lost her only friend.

She spent the entirety of the first night downstairs, just waiting on the door to open that never did, only coming upstairs around 5 AM to whine and communicate to me that dad was still gone and that she wasn’t at all happy about it.

By Day 2 she resigned herself to hanging out with dear old mom, ears pricking up whenever there was a promising dad-like noise from outside.

Needless to say, it’s going to be emotional reunion tonight when he walks in the door.

Something about having the house to myself makes me all the more motivated to make a home cooked dinner, so this easy cacciatore has been on repeat.

I spent the past two nights happily spooning bites into my mouth while watching Game of Thrones and trying not to cry into my zoodles.

Tofu Sheet Pan Meal

By Flora & Vino 6 Comments

Tofu Sheet pan meal with tofu, vegetables, and “cheezy” no-cheese miso tahini sauce. Serve over quinoa or by itself for an easy and filling weeknight dinner.

Happy Monday, friends!

I have a new/old one-pan meal recipe for you today.

New/old?

Let me explain.

I still remember the day I first made and photographed this Tofu Sheet Pan Meal with “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce.

It was one of those shoots that really flowed, trying out new angles on my sleek new black granite photography board, each new shot seeming a little better than the last.

I mean, roasted veggies and lightly browned tofu glistening with a creamy miso-tahini drizzle?

Looking good, one-pan meal.

Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles

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?

Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad

1-pan Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad topped with toasted hazelnuts and mulberries. Serve it with a glass of Bordeaux!

My parents used to tell me that if I kept frowning like that, my face would stay that way, which really only made me frown harder.

Recently, I saw a meme that read, “It takes XX (insert low number) muscles to smile and XX (insert high number) muscles to frown. Frown harder, let’s get ripped!”

Laugh. Out. Loud.

Lately, though, I feel like my face is frozen in permanent photographer face; the Canon body pressing firming into my third eye while my right eye is all squinty.

The face only a mother could love?

The face I make when I’m about to take the perfect picture of Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower Salad…

So…am I ripped yet?

“Cheezy” Chickpea Sheet Pan Meal with chickpeas, veggies, and nutritional yeast seasoning. Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and perfect for meal prep!

Well hello there!

How was your weekend?

This past week/weekend I went to Natural Products Expo East and visited with all of my favorite brands and scoped out the newest products in natural foods.

It was a lot of walking, a lot of talking, and a lot of sampling!

Somehow I had the bright idea to hit the grocery store on the way home from the trade-show, to, you know, kill two birds (two tofus?) with one stone, so to speak.

After being surrounded by food and chatter about food all day PLUS lugging of all of the loot from the show AND all of my groceries up three flights of stairs (we’re on the top unit of a stacked condominium!)– I decided I didn’t want to see or hear about food again. Like ever.

But then of course that changed because…a girl’s got to eat.

I eased back into the kitchen today with this fail-proof 1-Pan Meal that’s perfect for meal prep!

If you’re feeling a bit tired, frazzled, and food-overwhelmed like me, this “Cheezy” Chickpea Sheet Pan Meal is exactly what you need.

Come on, let’s do it!

Thai Quinoa & Cashew Stir-Fry

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy plant-based stir-fry with cooked quinoa, fresh vegetables, and crushed cashews. Perfect for a quick 10 minute weeknight meal.

I love how days feel sort of endless in summer, you know?

Longer days mean lazier later dinners.

To be honest, I’m usually throwing things together in a pan while Dan and Harper are unwinding on the couch around 8 PM.

“Mmm…what’s for dinner?” he’ll ask curiously, as things start to sizzle and pop and smell inviting on the stovetop.

“Er…” I say, trying to think of a creative name for what truly is a bit of everything left in the fridge served stir-fried.

Well, now I’ve got a name now for this clean-out-the-fridge creation.

This is a Thai Quinoa & Cashew Stir-Fry and you need it on your recipe repertoire!…

Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal seasoned with harissa paste, fresh mint, and tahini. Enjoy by itself or served over greens or grains.

Hi friends!

Do you have a Cava near you?

I discovered this Mediterranean fast-food-ish type place a little over a year ago after meeting a friend there for lunch.

We were there during the work-week rush so I ordered in a hurry, fearing the wrath of the guys in suits behind me on business lunch hour.

I ended up getting something with harissa and veggies and it was gloriously good.

Recently and separately, Dan discovered it too, so when he told me, “There’s this place I think you would like…it has your type of food…”

I totally didn’t say I found it first…(HA).

But I did find this Moroccan Sheet Pan Meal first…#braggingrights.

This easy one-pan meal has a great combination of hot and cool flavors that keeps each bite interesting.

Spicy chili pepper and cayenne balanced out by creamy tahini and cooling mint.

Is it hot?

Is it cold?

It’s just YUM.

It definitely keeps the Cava cravings at bay, as the closest one to me is at least 30 minutes away!

Butternut Pasta Primavera

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Plant-based pasta primavera packed with crisp sautéed spring veggies served over tender butternut squash noodles. Perfect for lightened up pasta night.

One summer growing up I spent a week with my cousins in North Carolina.

At first I was so homesick– it was the first time I’d been away from home for an extended period of time.

One night, we all sat down to a spaghetti dinner with my aunt and uncle and I watched my cousin eat her pasta sauce-less, all of those white noodles slipping and sliding across her plate without any red gravy.

I was totally intrigued.

This wasn’t how we ate pasta at my house.

It was one of those “coming of age” moments where I first contemplated the diversity of living, and er, the palate.

If pasta without sauce was an option…what other elements of meal time and real life differed from how we did it at home?!

This Butternut Pasta Primavera is the perfect lightened up meal for spring that breaks all the boundaries of your noodle know-how!

Japanese Yam Bowl with Turmeric Carrot Cashew Sauce

By Flora & Vino 6 Comments

Japanese yam bowl with chickpeas, broccoli, and roasted yam drizzled with a beautiful turmeric carrot cashew sauce. Perfect for meal prep!

Here’s a fun fact for you.

I don’t travel well.

Like at all.

We have a trip to California coming up next week and I’m already in semi-freak out mode, making lists on lists on lists in my bipolar hand-writing that oscillates between print and cursive when I’m stressed.

The suitcases are out, friends, a looming reminder of all the STUFF that needs to go in them.

So it’s felt like a sort of long week here at F&V, was it like that for you, too?

Thank goodness for basic meals, like this Japanese Yam Bowl with Turmeric Carrot Cashew Sauce.

I’ll give you some yams, chickpeas, greens, and a cool new sauce if you come and help me pack all of things.

Do we have a deal?
