Warm Kale Quinoa Bowl with Citrus Tahini by Flora & Vino

Hi, friends.

It’s kind of a strange time of year.

The novelty of the new year has worn off and the next big holiday in sight is Valentine’s Day.

I’ve been hunkering down and working on the cookbook with the fire of a fast approaching manuscript deadline.

Honestly, the hardest part of cookbook recipe creation is keeping said recipes from you! 

I’m so accustomed to the instant gratification of the blog posting process that hoarding all of this content feels downright miserly.

Which is why I’m letting one of the recipes slip through the cracks today…

This Warm Kale Quinoa Bowl with Citrus Tahini is my current, go-to lunch!

It’s served warm, and packed with complex carbs, plant-based protein, and a creamy, oil-free citrus tahini dressing.

So, if it can fuel me to write my first cookbook, I can’t wait to see what it does for you!

Plant-based bowl with arugula, chickpeas, steamed sweet potatoes, broccoli, sauerkraut, and an oil-free turmeric tahini dressing. Perfect for meal prep!

Chickpea Meal Prep Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing by Flora & Vino

I’ve been happy lately, friends.

Maybe it’s the warmer weather, or maybe it’s just a newfound perspective this summer.

It feels like things are shifting, changing, and becoming.

Like good things are on the tip of my tongue, about to spill over my lips and into fruition.

I’m emerging from quarantine feeling the vibration of potential and possibilities that the remainder of the year allows.

My intention for 2020 was *forward* and I’ve definitely tested that two syllable word to the fullest in the past month.

Shedding old identities, stories, and thought patterns and trying on new ones.

In the midst of all of this self reflection and discovery, I haven’t really wanted to cook fancy meals.

In fact, I haven’t been thinking much about food at all.

There, I said it.

But, in the midst of so much change, we still need to eat and eat well.

This Chickpea Meal Prep Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing is perfect to make for an easy plant-based meal!

Cauliflower Rice Veggie Burger Bowl

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Cauliflower rice bowl with a meatless vegetable burger and your favorite toppings. Perfect for a quick plant-based freezer-friendly meal! 

Cauliflower Rice Veggie Burger Bowl by Flora & Vino

Happy Sunday.

Honestly, I’m acknowledging what day it is more for me than for you, because all of the days are starting to run together here.

We’re living through such a weird time!

I’ve always viewed home as my safe space, the place I come back to to recharge between work and adventures with friends.

But I never thought it would have to become my solo sanctuary for weeks on end.

Whenever my crazy starts to feel unbearable, I throw on my shoes and walk winding loops around my neighborhood.

I’m still training for my half marathon in December, so that’s a LOT of paved residential loops, friends!

Meanwhile, my freezer is doing just fine.

I’m keeping myself stocked with my favorites as much as possible so I can throw together fresh meals without frequent grocery trips!

This Cauliflower Rice Veggie Burger Bowl is currently on repeat here and I eat it almost daily for a quick power bowl.

It’s super versatile, so grab a cauliflower rice blend, your favorite veggie burger, and your favorite toppings.

Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Easy weeknight dinner idea with tempeh, sweet potato noodles, and broccoli florets drizzled with lemon and tahini. Perfect for a fuss-free meal prep.

Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl by Flora & Vino

Hi!

How are you new year intentions going?

I didn’t really set any hard fast goals other than that I wanted to start meal-prepping again.

Somewhere in the midst of moving and holiday deadlines I decided that it was OK to eat out on the daily.

Yes, even food bloggers can spend way too much money on prepared food.

“But Lauren, don’t you eat the food you make?”” my friends often ask, perplexed.

Well, yes, but the eats don’t always work out that conveniently.

Allow me to explain.

During my busy holiday season, for example, I might have cookie recipes to share with you all week.

Cookies on the counter, cookies in the freezer, cookies in the fridge, cookies on my photography backdrop board, more cookies in the oven.

Yum. Cookies galore.

But it’s either eat cookies for lunch and dinner or suck it buttercup and dirty up the dishes I just spent an hour cleaning to making something savory.

This is where meal prep comes in clutch for me, and maybe for you too, friend.

You might not be surrounded by multiple cookie recipes but you might be in a work environment where you can’t break to make a feel good meal.

I’m not talking making 25 meals on Sunday evening pre-portioned in Tupperware.

I am talking about having readily available washed and chopped vegetables, fruit, and plant-protein prepared with potential in the fridge.

Which is precisely why I love this Tahini Tempeh, Sweet Potato Noodle, & Broccoli Bowl so darn much.

It comes together in less than 30 minutes for a vegan and gluten-free plant-powered bowl!

Broccoli Rice Bowl with Pomegranate & Grilled Tofu by Flora & Vino

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.

Sometimes you have to write to determine exactly what you’re writing about, right?

Well, I’m writing to you for the first time from my new standing desk, shuffling my weight from side side with a view overlooking the neighborhoood.

I finally took the plunge and ordered one for studio purposes and I’m loving drooling over photos at eye level.

Also, I wanted to offer up this Adzuki Bean Bowl with Pineapple Salsa.

I know you’re dying to get on eye-level with this bowl, too, that’s packed with protein, probiotics, and tropical vibes.

BBQ Jackfruit Bowl with Sweet Potato Chips

I guess we’re in the dog days of summer, now, friends.

It’s been hot here, and I’m absolutely loving it.

Sometimes I baffle at how I’m still living in an area with all four seasons when I so clearly favor warmer weather.

I’m in all out summer mode over here and relishing every minute of it– flip flops on, pool pass out, barbecue on the menu at the end of the day.

This BBQ Jackfruit Bowl with Sweet Potato Chips is packed with flavor, texture, and a pretty sweet crunch.

It’s the perfect easy introduction to jackfruit that’s sure to captivate both the meat-eaters and plant-eaters in your life!

Turmeric Cauliflower Rice Bowls with "Eggy" Tofu

Hi friends!

How was your Fourth of July?

We took Harper to her first fireworks show, and, to be honest, she seemed a lot more interested in the pizza Dan was eating than the bursts of color exploding into the night sky.

Priorities.

Like mother like dogger, right?

My priority lately has been colorful cauliflower rice.

Specifically, these Turmeric Cauliflower Rice Bowls with “Eggy” Tofu.

They’re packed with bright colored veggies, anti-inflammatory turmeric, and some seriously good tasting tofu.

Big & Spicy Hummus Meal Prep Bowl

Big & Spicy Hummus Meal Prep Bowl

Does anyone else go on epic food routine streaks?

Once I find a combination that I like, I do it on repeat until the thought of repeating it makes me feel a little nauseous.

No one can ever say I’m not committed in the kitchen.

Right now, I’m in a big quinoa bowl phase.

My commitment to my latest and greatest recipe is a bit staggering, I must say, and I’m just hoping that doesn’t mean I won’t be sick of it come July.

Because I’ve been making this Big & Spicy Hummus Meal Prep Bowl nearly every day for two weeks.

Come on, get a little obsessed with me, won’t you?

Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls with Miso Tahini

Who else watched the royal wedding over the weekend?!

I didn’t set my alarm to watch like some of my friends did, but I might have teared up a little while making my lazy Sunday breakfast when Prince Harry and Meghan *finally* embraced.

I milled about the kitchen listening to the light commentary that followed on the news stations all morning, feeling good about the whole affair and the state of the world and all that.

Can we have more moments like that, please?

If you’re having some major royal wedding withdrawals too, it’s cool, because I have a royal meal idea for you this week.

These Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls with Miso Tahini are the perfect plant-based combination to fuel your extraordinary life!
