10 Vegan “Reset” Recipes

10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “reset” recipes that will make you feel amazing. Lean on these when you need a fresh start!

Happy new year, friends!

I’m currently exploring Italy and Iceland for the tail end of my Euro-trip.

It’s a strange thing to start a new year in a different country, but it’s an experience I feel so lucky to have had!

I’ve never been a big fan of the whole new year, new life mindset.

But I love a good goal setting or intention setting sesh.

And while every day can be the perfect day for a “fresh start”, there’s something both special and mundane about Jan 1st.

The potential is palpable, and yet, the day feels strangely a lot like yesterday.

One thing is certain; I won’t right the correct year date for *at least* another 3 months.

Regardless of how commonplace or inspiring the day “feels”, I always like to start my year by fueling myself with foods that make me feel good from the inside out.

I hand-selected 10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “reset” recipes will make you feel amazing.

These are the kind of recipes I pull out when I had a late night, feel under the weather, or just returned from vacation.

They’re light, nourishing, and packed with nutrients.

Bookmark this page and lean on them whenever you need a fresh start, whether it’s Jan 1 or July 1.

Vegan NYE Recipe Ideas

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of fun vegan NYE recipes ideas that are perfect for at-home celebrations, entertaining, and before and after midnight munchies.

This will be my second New Years Eve spent in Germany!

It’s truly a uniquely special experience to ring in the new year from another place on the globe.

Especially weird when you realize as clock strikes midnight in Germany, for my people in the U.S., it’s not new years yet.

I love getting to know German NYE traditions, which are a lot like American NYE traditions.

Good food and drinks with good company, and maybe some fireworks when one year turns into the next.

Luckily, I can help you with one of those things today.

Recipes, all the recipes.

I used to love going out on NYE, but the pandemic really showed me how beautiful the new year can be spent from the comfort of your own home.

These Vegan NYE Recipe Ideas are small bites that would be perfect to make and serve to end the year.

For NYE, there’s usually a lot of continual snacking and finger food as people pace themselves for the marathon of staying up until midnight (or is it just me?).

With that in mind, I included 10 festive appetizers, snacks, and desserts that would be beautiful and delicious for a NYE gathering.

Wherever you choose to celebrate this new year, I hope it brings you joy!!!

Happy new year, friends.

DIY Vegan Holiday Food Gift Ideas

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of simple and delicious DIY vegan and gluten-free recipes that are perfect to make, gift, and give for the holiday season.

How’s it going with the gift giving this year?

Truthfully, I don’t like buying gifts just to have a wrapped box to give someone for the holidays.

As an aspiring minimalist, I don’t want to give you something that will add clutter to your home.

I also don’t want to give you something that doesn’t add value or inspiration to your life

So, sometimes homemade gifts are the best, because they’re heartfelt and meaningful while saving you money.

Unlike some of my crafty friends, I can’t make jewelry or crochet or sew, but friends, I can cook and bake for you!

Homemade holiday food gifts serve a purpose, too, because they will feed your friends and family into the new year.

I love showing up with baked bread, gooey cookies, or homemade truffles to share with the people I love.

If you’re going DIY these season, check out these DIY Vegan Holiday Food Gift Ideas.

I’ve included all of my favorite holiday recipes that are easy to make, gift, and love.

This post includes everything from vegan Christmas chocolates, to homemade granola, to fruit jams, and even dog treats for our four legged friends.

Bookmark this DIY Vegan Holiday Food Gift Ideas and come back to it whenever you need a quick gift idea without pulling out your wallet.

Spend time in the kitchen, not money, and show everyone on your list how sweet the season can be!

10 homemade vegan candy recipes that taste better than the originals and are made with real ingredients. All of the recipes are gluten-free, too!

Hellooooo, friends!

It’s that time of year when bags of Halloween candy mixes tower over us near the store check out line.

Instead of grabbing a bag, why don’t we make some of our own?

I realized this month that while I have a Halloween Recipe Round Up, I don’t have an archive exclusive for candy.

I’m fixing that today by bringing you 10 Homemade Vegan Candy Recipes.

I think that these homemade copycat candies taste better than the original and they’re made with real food ingredients.

They’re all vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free.

While you never need my permission (or anyone’s, for that matter) to enjoy a sweet treat, but I hope these recipes inspire you to indulge a little!

This round up is perfect for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or anytime of year when you’re craving candy.

Labor Day Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Labor Day Recipe Round Up with vegan and gluten-free mains, side dishes, and no-bake desserts that are perfect to celebrate the end to summer!

What if I told you that Christmas is a shocking four months away?

That’s right, friends, we have only FOUR months to make our lists, check them twice, and then deck the halls.

This year is flying by at a pace I can’t quite comprehend.

But for now, let’s be present, let’s be in the moment, and let’s enjoy the end of summer.

Labor Day always feels like a bittersweet ending, doesn’t it?

It’s hard to imagine that other countries don’t have such a pronounced “end to summer”.

Here in the U.S., I think most of us would agree that it feels like an abrupt end to to summer days.

It’s the last chance to jump in the public pool, the last day to fashionably wear white (No one listens to that, do they?), and the last weekend of summer break for kids.

That’s a whole lot of lasts.

But we should make those lasts, last, ya know?

So I collected a bunch of my favorite recipes that I think you should eat before summer is over as a part of your Labor Day spread.

Historically, my family did a classic American spread of burgers, chips, watermelon, and pie.

This Labor Day Recipe Round Up pays homage the classic burger bonanza while offering options for vegan and gluten-free appetizers, sides, and desserts.

Enjoy the last bit of summer and let me know which recipes you’re *so* glad you tried before September ends.

Vegan Hiking & Camping Recipes

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

My favorite vegan hiking & camping recipes to make and take on long day-hikes and weekend camping adventures. Options for access to ice and without!

It’s camping season!

Recently, a reader reached out on Instagram suggesting a vegan hiking/backpacking recipe round up.

I immediately loved this idea, because I’ve definitely had time and experience to develop a food system that works for me when adventure calls.

It’s true, being vegan on the go and out in nature can be a bit tricky, especially if you want to go plant-based and not eat a ton of processed foods.

I’m not eating the fanciest plant-based meals on these trips, but I do have a few star recipes that are portable, delicious, and keep me nourished and thriving outdoors.

These Vegan Hiking & Camping Recipes are a collection of my favorite plant-based recipes to make and take on long day-hikes and weekend camping adventures.

I offer some options for access to a cooler/ice and for times you need food that will stay good without cooling for the day.

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

7 vegan and gluten-free pizza-themed recipes that are perfect for a pizza night in. Mix and match them for your next plant-based pizza party!

My game night this weekend got turned into a Super Bowl party because it falls on Super Bowl Sunday!

We’re having pizza and appetizers and probably won’t play many games other than watching one on the screen.

I always tell people that I’m not a football fan but I love the energy and food surrounding the sport.

Vegan pizza is something I’ve come to *truly* love over the years.

It’s so versatile and gratifying while being super easy to make vegan and gluten-free!

M and I eat pizza almost every week on Friday nights to end the week with a celebration of tomato, dairy-free cheese, and all of the toppings I can fit.

Depending on the week, we do lots of different levels of pizza commitment.

Sometimes we load up a frozen pizza crust with jarred sauce, and sometimes we go all out and make our own crust, sauce, and cheese.

These 7 Vegan Pizzas To Make showcase all different levels of pizza-mastery, from easy Zucchini Pizza Poppers to from-scratch Vegan Margherita Pizza!

Each recipe is customizable, so pick a pizza recipe that fits your style today and let get this pizza party started!

10 Vegan “Date Night In” Dinners

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of 10 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free “date night in” dinners that are feel fancy but are easy to make and fun to share.

It’s that time of year where it’s easy to feel a little lost, yeah?

It’s cold.

It’s dark.

The holidays are over and the expanse of the year ahead can feel heavy and hard.

The worst part is, despite the cold and gloom, we haven’t had any significant snowfall here in Maryland!

So, I’ve been prioritizing quality time with friends, getting outside every day, and staying active to beat the winter blues.

Another activity in my “winter survival toolbox” is cozying up at home and making a fancy dinner.

Usually I make dinner here at F&V, because I’m typically brimming with ideas for recipe testing or serving up leftovers from a shoot.

But, whenever M does get involved in the kitchen, I remember how much fun it is to have a cooking partner!

We love our weekly takeout but some of my favorite dinners are the ones that we make and enjoy together.

Today I’m sharing 10 Vegan “Date Night In” Dinners!

These aren’t your average meal prep bowl; they feel elevated and fancy while still being easy to make together and fun to share.

And, if you’re living solo, take this post as inspiration to take yourself on a date to a big fancy dinner of your making.

Bookmark this post for birthday dinners, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or anytime you want to an elegant plant-based dinner without changing out of your PJs.

Favorite Plant-Based Thanksgiving Sides

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

My favorite plant-based Thanksgiving sides that are also hearty, delicious, and gluten-free! Mix and match to create a cozy vegan Thanksgiving spread.

I’ve seen 33 Thanksgivings but this will be the first year that I’m hosting people!

In preparation to be a good hostess, I have a lot of questions about hosting etiquette, like:

Is it too soon to decorate the house for Christmas?

How many camping chairs can I fit around the kitchen table?

Is there such a thing as too many Thanksgiving sides?

Thanksgiving sides are my *favorite* part of the whole holiday menu.

I’ve never found it hard to have an entirely plant-based Thanksgiving loading up on my favorite side dish recipes.

This collection of My Favorite Plant-Based Thanksgiving Sides has something for everyone this Thanksgiving Day.

I wish I could have you *all* over for Thanksgiving, friends, but I’m pretty sure I don’t own enough camping chairs for that, so this is the next best thing!

Mix and match these vegan and gluten-free dishes to create a beautiful bountiful holiday spread to share.

And these sassy sides aren’t just for Thanksgiving!

Save this recipe round and make them again for Christmas, New Years, and all of the winter holidays that bring you joy.

While we were in Kentucky and Indiana, we listened to our families talk about their favorite sports teams.
