7 Vegan Pizzas To Make

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.

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.

A collection of 12 simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free small bites that are perfect to fuel your game day celebration at home. Sharing is optional!

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

It’s true, I’m not really a sports fan, but in general I like the concepts of cheering, eating, and winning.

And since it’s the time of year to get cozy on the couch with cozy small bites and appetizers, I’m sharing 12 Vegan Game Day Bites with you.

In general, sports-watching cuisine doesn’t typically lend itself to a plant-based diet.

So here are some vegan alternatives to make keeping your eye on your favorite players more healthy and delicious.

5 Warm Salads to Make

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

5 Warm Salads to make when the weather is cold and you’re craving something cozy but fresh. Pair these with protein or grains for a side or main meal!

It feels like M and I have been away more than we’ve been home for the month of October.

I’m currently writing to you from Lexington, Kentucky, where we are visiting M’s family!

We’ve already seen a horse race and completed a tour at a local distillery.

From Kentucky we’re driving on to Indiana to see my family for our annual family reunion.

So, this trip in total will be a lot of driving, a lot of family, and, so far, a lot of fun!

I’m honestly not a road tripper, and being in the car usually makes me a bit nauseous and a lot antsy, restless, and moody.

Something about being trapped in a tiny space hurdling down highways makes me feel all kinds of existential and pensive.

However, it has its perks, like being able to pack whatever I want: i.e. a bag dedicated only to shoes and two coolers packed with meal prepped food.

It’s surprisingly warm in Kentucky, so I’m currently loving my classic chilled overnight oats and wraps.

However, it’s the time of year where I start craving warm cozy things all day long.

I’ve always been a firm believer in the warm salad, because when it gets cold raw salads just sound less appealing.

Today I’m sharing my favorite 5 Warm Salads to Make this season!

Try pairing them with grains or plant-based protein for a heartier meal or enjoy them solo for a light lunch or dinner!

They’re also perfect as a side dish to add some color to your upcoming holiday spread.

Let’s make warm salads a social norm, shall we?

10 warm breakfast bowls to cozy up to on cold fall and winter mornings. Sweet and savory options packed with plant-based protein to start the day strong!

This week I’ve been craving hot breakfasts.

The kind that make stumbling out of bed and into the kitchen a little easier.

My go-to lately has been grain-free hot cereal with blueberries, granola, and nut butter.

These bowls will warm you from the inside out and are perfect paired with a mug of steaming coffee.

If you’re still in an only oatmeal rut, maybe you might want some cozy vegan breakfast bowl inspiration, too?

At first this post started as a collection of warm cereal bowls, but then I decided to add some savory breakfast bowls, too.

This collection of 10 Warm Breakfast Bowls to Make has sweet and savory options that are packed with plant-based protein to start the day strong!

I’ve included lots of creative options like baked quinoa, tofu scramble, and even millet for breakfast.

Halloween Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

20+ vegan and gluten-free Halloween inspired recipes including candies, baked goods, and snacks. Mix and match to create the perfect spooky spread.

Friends, I can’t believe that I’m running my first marathon THIS WEEKEND.

Me. 26.2 miles. Chicago. Let’s go.

As I tend to do with big milestones, I find myself subconsciously dividing my life into two eras: pre-marathon and post-marathon.

Mostly, it’s a lot me saying in response to any given task, “I’ll get to it after the marathon”.

But that’s because my brain is full of the race map, carb-loading, running gear, and, oh, you know, SURVIVING it.

The longest I ran on my training plan was 20 miles, which felt challenging but doable.

They say that the last 6 miles is all *mental*; a comforting belief that I’m clinging to.

At least I won’t be running it alone!

My friend in Chicago will be joining me for the race.

And M will be there, too, meeting me at checkpoints so I can throw layers at him and chug electrolytes and dried fruit.

In the midst of planning and prepping for a long weekend in the windy city, it occurred to me that I don’t have a proper Halloween recipe round up on F&V.

So, instead of stressing about whether I will or will not return a marathoner (I will, I will!), I put together a fun mix of Halloween recipes for you.

This Halloween Recipe Round Up includes over 20 vegan and gluten-free Halloween inspired recipes including candies, baked goods, and snacks.

Mix and match them this year to create the perfect spooky spread!

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

15 of my favorite soup and stew recipes to cozy up to when the weather gets cold. They’re packed with protein, vegetables, and flavor!

It’s soup season, friends!

I’m doing the Minimalist Challenge for the month of September so the usual piles of “stuff” are growing on the main level.

Is it weird that I *love* de-cluttering?

Setting aside the daily time to assess how much, I, (we) need is calming, grounding, and fulfilling.

When I ran out of items to part with on the first two floors I recruited M to venture to the attic.

I was happy we found the slow cooker in amongst the boxes labeled “KITCHEN OVERFLOW” in big bold Sharpie letters.

So these past few weekends I prepped a big pot of soup packed with vegetables left over from the weekly recipe rotation.

It makes for the coziest Sunday evening meal and I love reheating bowls for lunch throughout the week.

In case you’re in the soup mood, too, I’m sharing some of my favorite vegan soups and stews for cold weather coming!

This 15 Vegan Soups & Stews To Make is a round up of hearty vegan and gluten-free soups that are packed with protein, vegetables, and flavor.
