Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders

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!

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.

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.

One of those give me everything in the fridge and I don’t care what it looks like moments.

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.

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?

Delicious plant-based tacos with an easy “tempeh taco meat” for a healthy twist on classic tacos! Top with an easy, creamy, and tangy 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!

Veggie packed chickpea salad with nutritional yeast and “black salt” for an “eggy” flavor! Perfect on a sandwich, stacked on crackers, or by the spoonful.

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.

It’s HOT here.

I open the windows in the morning to let warm air in while slurping down a frosty shake, quickly shutting them post-brain freeze because it’s just too humid.

It’s all OK because I have the perfect recipe to share for a heat wave.

Two firsts are going down with this post— first wrap AND first chickpea salad!
