Vegan Easter Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

A collection of spring-inspired recipes that are perfect for Easter! Everything from bright breakfasts to healthier Easter candy to spring dinner spreads. 

Vegan Easter Recipe Round Up by Flora & Vino

Lately I’ve been thinking a *lot* about Spring-cleaning.

It’s been a universal theme lately in my circles, popping up on podcast episodes, in yoga sessions, and in my group texts. 

Clearing out the old junk and making room for the new.

I always feel raw and reborn in the Spring-time, emerging from a winter cocoon with pasty legs sticking out of flowing floral springs skirts and dresses. 

Yesterday I saw friends and family I hadn’t seen in person in over a year, which in itself was a rebirth, a sense of returning and renewal. 

As I air-hugged goodbye, I felt hope that with this renewal, maybe air-hugging will soon be a thing of the past.

But until then I’ll close the distance between you and me the way I know best, with some delicious recipes. 

I can’t quite believe how early Easter is this year– it’s in the first week of April! 

I love how Easter marks the beginning of Spring, the kick off for bountiful bright farmer’s market produce, and of colorful candies and treats. 

This Vegan Easter Recipe Round Up will give you some fresh ideas for spring spreads, healthier Easter candy alternatives, and fresh desserts!

Saint Patrick’s Day Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

A collection of naturally green favorites from the blog, packed with matcha, avocado, and greens, to keep you from getting pinched on Saint Patrick’s Day!

Saint Patrick's Day Recipe Round Up by Flora & Vino

When I worked in an office I was *always* counting down the days until the next commercial holiday.

Something about celebrating them always made me feel closer to my colleagues and the world behind my dual monitors and stark white walls.

I put extra thought into my work attire, carefully selecting the emerald green skirt to be on theme. 

In quarantine, I’ve been leaning on holidays, too, to give me something to look forward to through the tough times. 

Birthdays, holidays, half-birthdays, food holidays– give me a good reason and I’ll celebrate it.

Well, it’s almost Saint Patrick’s Day! 

This year, let’s eat something good and green, shall we?

In this Saint Patrick’s Day Recipe Round Up I share some of my favorite naturally green recipes from the blog. 

They’re sure to give you food inspiration in a pinch and save you from (literally) getting pinched this Saint Patrick’s Day!

Vegan Valentine’s Day Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Recipes that are easy to love and share with the ones you love; including date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and pink treats!

Vegan Valentine's Day Recipe Round Up by Flora & Vino

Last week, I talked to my friend about Valentine’s Day.

She’s kind of a hater, to put it bluntly.

While I usually jump on board with any reason to celebrate (especially during COVID!), I kind of get what she’s saying. 

Why put so much commercial and societal pressure on *one* small day to celebrate all of the love in our lives? 

It’s true, I think we should be expressing and acknowledging our love, and self-love, all year round.

Although, sometimes it’s the novelty of having a day set aside, one specifically to be grateful for all the love we’re fortunate enough to give and receive. 

So, if you want to make some sweets and treats this February 14th, I won’t stop you. 

In fact, I’ll make it super easy for you, with this recipe round up.

If you’re like me, you’re probably staying in this year to do the whole V-day thing, yeah? 

Sure, we might make a fancier dinner, we might open a good bottle of red, and we *might* make a cute dessert to share. 

In this Vegan Valentine’s Day Recipe Round Up, you’ll find a list of date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and plenty of pink and red sweets.

But, while you’re chowing down, remember that any evening has the potential to be romantic, and any day of the week is the right time to tell someone how much you care.

Finally, remember that sometimes the coziest, coveted memories are those spent in the company of friends, pets, or, yourself. …

Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes that make plant-based meal prep easy, time efficient, and fun! Mix and match throughout the week!

Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up by Flora & Vino

Hi, friends! 

January is stereotypically the time of year of start plans. 

New workouts, new diets, resolutely resolving to break bad habits and add healthy routines. 

By now, you might have heard me talking about the cookbook that I’m working on.

The theme is Vegan Meal Prep and includes mix and match recipes for how to be plant-based even when life is crazy (which it always is– right?).

It’s funny, because I feel like I’m carefully crafting a product that I would  love to consume.

Meaning, that yes, I too, would covet a collection of vegan & gluten-free recipes that take the guesswork out of meal time. 

So I’ve been working my way through the F&V archives, drawing inspiration from my favorite easy-to-prep plant-based recipes. 

While making my meal prep list, I thought, why not share this resource with you guys, too? 

If you’ve been here a while you know that all of the recipes on Flora & Vino are pretty darn simple with minimal ingredients. 

Therefore, it could easily be argued that *all* F&V recipes are meal-prep-able.

However, there are definitely some that fit more conveniently into the meal prep lifestyle more than others!

In this Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up you’ll find Grab & Go Breakfasts, Quick & Easy Lunches, Portable Snacks, Sheet Pan Meals, One-Pot Soups & Stews, Easy Dinners, and Fuss-Free Desserts.

Everything you need to make plant-based eating easy and fun all week long!

Vegan & Gluten-Free Appetizer Round Up

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

A collection of simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free appetizers that are perfect for at-home celebrations, dinner parties, and between meal munchies!

Vegan & Gluten-Free Appetizer Round Up by Flora & Vino

I can’t quite believe there is less than one week left in 2020.

It feels like the year simultaneously took *forever* and yet  no time time at all, doesn’t it? 

Half of me still feels frozen in March, hunkered down at home, canceling plans, hoarding frozen foods, and obsessively watching the news. 

I’m starting to organize virtual plans for New Years Eve; maybe a game night or maybe just enjoying some bubbles and conversation with friends.

This time last year I was coordinating my dress, shoes, and hair for a girls night out with a group of fun gals in the city.

But just because the wild NYE parties are cancelled this year doesn’t mean the eats are. 

This is the perfect opportunity to throw together a bunch of plant based apps to ring in the new year healthy and satisfied! 

The  *one* thing I always struggled with at parties or gatherings was a lack of vegan appetizers.

I love creating them for the blog to show how easy it is to make plants, well…appetizing! 

I’ve divided this listing into four categories: Dip & Spreads, Finger Food, Munchies, Small Plates, & Sweet Snacks so there’s something for everyone and ever occasion.

Many of the recipes are also oil-free, grain-free, and refined-sugar-free. 

In this Vegan & Gluten-Free Appetizer Round Up you’ll find a listing of creative plant-based bites that you can snack on while socializing!

20 Vegan & Gluten-Free Holiday Cookies

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

20 delicious vegan and gluten-free cookies to bake this holiday season. Perfect for a cookie exchange or to leave out with almond milk for Santa!

Do you have any holiday baking traditions? 

Growing up, we made sugar cookies carefully cut into bells, snowflakes, stockings, and angels dusted in red and green sprinkles.

After leaving home, my “go to” cookie became the Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie; infamous in my circle of friends and family for their peanut-buttery base and soft chocolate center. 

Last year my girlfriends invited me over to bake Christmas cookies.

It warmed my heart to shuffle around my friend’s kitchen, happy to pass measuring spoons and chocolate chips and vanilla extract. 

There’s something about baking together in a warm, sweet smelling kitchen that makes pre-holiday days truly feel like the most wonderful time of the year.

Which leads me to this round up post of my favorite cookies that I *know* both you and Santa will adore. 

Bake one of these 20 Vegan & Gluten-Free Holiday Cookies with you and yours this holiday season.

If you can’t be physically together in person, swap these recipes via text, or schedule a virtual bake-date, or bake and personally deliver to doorsteps.  

They’re all vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free with plenty of oil-free and grain-free options.

Happy Christmas and happy baking!!!

50+ Vegan & Gluten-Free Holiday Recipes

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

50+ vegan and gluten-free recipes that will bring some cheer this holiday season!  Mix and match to create the perfect festive spread.

Butternut Squash Pie with Almond Flour Crust by Flora & Vino

Hello, friends! 

I honestly can’t believe that Thanksgiving is in less than one week. 

But my wallet can, because I just placed a giant Whole Foods order for pick up tomorrow.

For the past few weeks I’ve been sharing holiday recipe inspiration on Instagram. 

Thanksgiving sides, cozy plant-based mains, and festive desserts. 

It might make you laugh that when it comes to planning my holiday menu, I use my own website as inspiration.

I fat finer key words like “holiday” and “thanksgiving” into the search box on Flora & Vino to see what I made in years past. 

Then I eagerly point at the lead image to M, saying, “Ooooh, but we have to have this.”

During my search hassle, it occurred to me that it would be nice and convenient to have all of my holiday recipes in one place. 

For you, dear friend, of course, but also, selfishly, for myself! 

In this 50+ Vegan and Gluten-Free Holiday Recipes you’ll find plenty of plant-based inspiration for your holiday!

This is a concise list of holiday recipes, covering entrees, appetizers, snacks, sides, drinks, and desserts.

Let’s have a holiday.

Hi guys, how are you doing?

How are you *really* doing?

Like I know most of us are, I’m literally taking it day by day, slowly navigating this new normal that we didn’t choose.

I’m trying to see blips of beauty amongst all of the hard stuff going on in the world right now.

For example, it’s been amazing to watch my online and local communities tackle the isolation with words of encouragement, free online services, and a little humor.

I’ve got to say that in some ways I feel more connected than ever despite social distancing.

Anyway, I asked on Instagram what kind of content you’d like to see as we get cozy and stay home.

Many of you requested pantry and freezer- friendly recipes and I’m right there with you.

I’m planning on keeping my pantry and freezer well-stocked during this time to minimize shopping trips and maximize my menu!

You’ll find a large selection of 75+ Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Pantry-Friendly Recipes that are easily made with pantry-staples and frozen foods.

I’m working to add to this collection with brand NEW content in the coming weeks.

If you’re looking for for a concise list of my favorite essentials, check out My Top Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Pantry Staples to get started.

More time at home allows us more opportunities to get creative in the kitchen and flex our minimalism muscles.

Let’s take on those dusty cans and frozen peas together, OK?

IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣 - T IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣
-
This weekend I tackled cleaning and organizing a closet that I’d been avoiding. 🚪
-
It’s a spacious closet in my spare bedroom. It’s also the first place I put things I rarely use, storage stuff, and items that don’t have a home. Basically, it’s a giant walk-in “junk” drawer.
-
Over time, it’s gotten so full I could hardly open the door without a stuffed animal falling from the top shelf or stepping on a prickly Christmas wreath.
-
“Out of sight, out of mind,” I reasoned, keeping the door tightly shut. But I could feel the weight of the things through the walls. The cluttered closet had a pulse, a heaviness, a resistance. 
-
I was listening to @theminimalists podcast this week— the topic was letting go of “sentimental” stuff. They bluntly posed the question, “How would you feel if all of the stuff spontaneously combust?”
-
I thought about my closet, POOF, gone, in the blink of an eye. All of the things in there that I couldn’t even name, no longer my responsibility. Imagining all of that stuff taken from me in a catastrophe outside of my control, I felt relief. 
-
While I’m glad my closet didn’t *actually* implode, my reaction to the exercise made me realize that I needed to let go of some things to make space in my house, my head, and my heart.
-
So Saturday I shuffled through old stuff, filled boxes to donate, and stuffed trash bags. I didn’t let go of all of it, but it felt like a big step towards lightness and freedom. 
-
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I’m on a constant journey towards a more minimalistic life. It’s a constant journey. I donate, I buy, I purge, I collect, I clutter, I minimize. 
-
I strive for everything I own to either have a purpose or bring me immense joy, and how can any possession do either buried under junk behind a shut door?
-
Today, I can walk into the closet unscathed and actually *see* my old high school yearbooks, two guitars, and toolboxes filled with paints and pencils from art school. 
-
Do you have a closet or space like this too? What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of this week? Please share!

CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today. 🍲 Perfect for fickle spring weather that’s cold one minute and warm the next. I grew up eating cans of chicken and wild rice soup so this is a vegan and gluten-free tribute to the classic! This chickpea & wild rice soup packed with garbanzo beans, wild rice, and savory herbs in a light broth. It’s your new favorite veg-packed soup staple for all year round!
-
Did you know that most wild rice out there isn’t *real* wild rice? In this soup recipe, I used @edenfoods Wild Rice. //#sponsored This gluten-free whole grain is hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, by canoe! In learning more about wild rice production, I discovered that much of the wild rice sold isn’t authentic. *True* wild rice is Native American hand harvested from the wild by canoe, and is wood fire parched!
-
Authentic wild harvested wild rice ranges in color, cooks in only 25 to 30 minutes, is light and fluffy, and has a rich and delicious flavor, unlike the machine harvested stuff that’s black brown, chewy, and takes forever to cook. Outside of its great flavor, and texture, @edenfoods wild rice is rich in B3 and manganese and is a great source of fiber, B1, B2, magnesium, and zinc! It’s amazing added to this soup to keep everything thick and hearty.
