Curried Sweet Potato & Lentil Collard Wraps

Happy Halloween, buddies!

Do you have anything spooky planned for today?

I’m not big on scary movies ever since I decided to watch The Ring by myself in my parents’ basement when I was 15.

I’m probably still making up for sleepless nights after that episode; equal parts terrified and smug at 2 AM because hey I got through the whole thing alone and ALIVE.

I think the scariest thing I might do today is cleaning the massive pile of dishes on the kitchen island…

When you’re done with all of the tricks and treats, these Curried Sweet Potato & Lentil Collard Wraps will be waiting for you in all of their zippy orange glory.

They’re perfect to enjoy for a fresh fun fall lunch, or to nourish and refuel after one too many sweets.

Black Bean Collard Burritos with Beet Salsa

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy grain-free, gluten-free, plant-based burritos made with black beans and collard leaves! Stuffed with veg and topped with beet salsa and tahini drizzle.

This morning I posted on Instagram and asked how everyone’s Wednesday was going.

Which is all fine and good, except that it’s Tuesday.

It’s the last day of travel for us here in California, and if you can’t tell, I’m sort of losing track of the day and time.

Yesterday we saw Napa Valley and today we drive to Sonoma and then on to San Fransisco!

But really, vacation brain or not, how could I forget a “Taco Tuesday”, particularly when I have such a killer Mexican-inspired recipe to share with you?

You’re going to love these Black Bean Collard Burritos stuffed with a mix of raw and roasted veggies and topped with a fun and fresh Beet Salsa!

Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Creative plant-based burger with sweet potato buns featuring Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. Stack everything up for a gluten-free and vegan slider!

Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders by Flora & Vino

The yoga studio I go to is a solid 30 minute drive, sometimes more if there’s any traffic.

Many evenings I’m that girl, running up the steps to the studio lugging my heavy Manduka yoga mat and a water bottle under one arm.

I put on the brakes right before entering the studio so I can maintain some semblance of being a zen yogi, ready for practice.

I don’t think I’m fooling anyone.

I always emerge from my practice and the hot hot room fan hour later calmer, clearer, chill-er, oh, and HUNGRY.

On the walk down to the car I quickly assess the leftover situation and then get Dan on speed dial to ask him to preheat the oven to 400, please.

These Hilary’s Sweet Potato Sliders are currently my go-to post yoga noms for a quick plant-based meal that’s fun, filling, and FAST.

Rainbow Hummus & Avocado Collard Wraps

It’s Thursday and this post is a good one, friends!

I’m sharing a recipe that has been my favorite go-to lunch ensemble for the new year.

Luckily, it looked pretty good and tasted even better.

Curried Cranberry Apple Pecan Chickpea Salad Cups

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

1-bowl curried chickpea salad with apples, pecans, cranberries, and a delicious spicy yogurt base. Serve with radicchio cups for a fun lunch, snack, or appetizer.

Curried Cranberry Apple Pecan Chickpea Salad Cups

 

I’m writing this post with the sniffles and a tickly throat…all of the telltale symptoms that a cold is coming for me.

Doh.

Sometimes I like being sick. Is that a weird thing to say?

OK, maybe I could do without the physical symptoms, but being a highly active person, sometimes I forget to slow down.

Being sick quite literally forces me to take some time to rejuvenate both my body and my mind.

Lounging on the couch eating nicecream while binge-watching This Is Us (who else is obsessed???) sounds pretty great right about now, but we’re about to road trip to Indiana to visit my extended family and there’s a lot to get done around here.

Mostly in the form of food preparation because when I travel, I tend to take my kitchen with me.

These Curried Cranberry Apple Pecan Chickpea Salad Cups are on my list of easy things to prepare for the trip.

You’re going to love whipping this mixture up for easy fall lunching!

And hey, curry is good for colds, right?

Romaine Tempeh Tacos with Cashew Sour Cream

Do you feel like you’re being pummeled with pumpkins?

If you do, don’t worry, I put orange on the back-burner for this post to share a classic.

I was in Michael’s recently picking up some photography props and commented to the cashier about the Halloween display already in plain sight.

“Oh”, the girl said, like that was nothing, “The entire Christmas spread is set up in back.”

Woah, now. One holiday at a time!

And it just so happens that today is one of my favorite holiday that comes around on a weekly basis…

It’s Taco Tuesday, so let’s make Romaine Tempeh Tacos with Cashew Sour Cream!

"Eggy" Veggie Chickpea Salad Sandwiches by Flora & Vino

Labor Day Weekend, WHAT?

Does anyone else feel like time is literally flying?

I think back to the hours I spent in high school complaining of boredom, staring up at the stark white ceiling from my pink quilted bed, wondering what the heck to do with my day.

Boredom.

Yawn.

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘
