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.

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.

Minty Moroccan Sheet Pan Dinner

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Minty Moroccan Sheet Pan Dinner seasoned with harissa paste, fresh mint, and tahini. Enjoy for an easy dinner 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 Minty Moroccan Sheet Pan Dinner first…#braggingrights.

Black Soy Bean, Beet, & Bok Choy Bowl with Garlic Ginger Tahini Dressing

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Easy power bowl with black soy beans, beets, and bok choy served over a bed of quinoa and drizzled with a creamy garlic ginger tahini.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this tight-rope that we all walk on, friends.

Balance is hard, isn’t it?

We’re constantly pulled in dual directions in an epic never-ending tug-of-war of different virtues.

Self-love and Self-improvement. Action and Inaction. Simplicity and Complexity.

One thing that I think we can all agree on is that the best eats are the ones that start simple and taste complex, though, don’t you think?

A bit of yin and yang.

This Black Soy Bean, Beet, & Bok Choy Bowl with Garlic Ginger Tahini Dressing comes together in under 30 minutes with bright whole foods and a creamy tahini dressing.

You can save the “To be or not to be…?” and focus on the real cruz of the matter….

To bowl or not to bowl?

(And why the heck not?!)

The best tofu scramble for one served in a bowl! Extra-firm tofu with chopped vegetables, leafy greens, and spices served with avocado and hot sauce.

Friends!

How are you doing on your New Years intentions and resolutions?

I’m still shocked that my one month of yoga in January has turned into a most cherished daily practice.

My favorite part of my day now is entering that warm room and leaving everything both mental and physical on the outside.

Other things…I haven’t so seamlessly incorporated.

We’ve got some time before December, though, right?

I also wanted to start incorporating more savory breakfasts into my diet this year.

There’s something so energizing and comforting about sitting down to a big steaming bowl of veg first thing in the morning.

If you get stuck in sweet breakfast autopilot like me, you’re going to love this week’s customizable classic!

There other night I had a bad dream about blogging.

It’s kind of fuzzy now but I’m pretty sure it involved sending out an incomplete post draft; my half baked ideas and photos exposed to the masses.

Gasp.

But really, it was mildly terrifying and I’m so glad you’re reading this in its fully executed state.

What’s more worrisome, though, is that I don’t have enough Mexican recipes on the blog.

Let’s fix that.

Happy Sunday, friends!

I’m writing to you from the road today.

I just finished up at Expo West and Dan and I are on the road to Napa (Napa!!!) for the next few days to take a mini vacation before heading back to Virginia.

Being away from home for a week is kind of a big deal to me.

I crave an idealistically long, spontaneous, unrehearsed getaway…but I’m also craving a protein-packed bowl.

In my kitchen.

You know???

I’ve come to accept that I’m a homebody, while realizing the value in continually making the decision to do things outside of my comfort zone.

Like traveling across the country and refraining from packing the kitchen sink.

I always enter our condo post-vacation filled with the most acute appreciation for my kitchen and everything it.

The minute I got home, as soon as I dawn my favorite pajama pants, I’m making this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry.

It comes together in 10 minutes with simple ingredients for an easy plant-based power bowl that’s perfect for weeknight meals and meal prep!
