Hey-o, is pumpkin your thing?

It’s definitely mine.

But it’s not so much M’s thing.

I joked with him this week, asking if he’s ready for the end of October so we’re not consistently eating my pumpkin recipes.

But he said he might just be warming up to my favorite orange winter squash.

Good answer, M, good answer.

Afghan inspired cookies made without flour! Instead, make them with chickpeas, nut butter, cacao, and dates finished with a walnut cacao frosting!

Are you a LOTR fan?

Let me tell you about my level of fandom circa early 2000s.

After purchasing the trilogy on DVD (I had the Director’s Cut–ha!) I watched The Fellowship of the Ring on repeat.

Because, you know, watching Frodo Baggins battle forces of evil on his quest to destroy the one ring as casual background noise is always good fun.

I was really interested in film studies at the time, and the cinematography and overall production of the films totally wowed me.

Not to mention, I was totally crushing on Frodo, er, Elijah Wood.

I mean, those blue eyes, though!

When I found out that the movie was filmed in New Zealand, I immediately wanted to pack my bags and take a trip to the South Pacific Ocean to stand on steep mountains and run across sprawling fields.

Props to my parents for sitting through the entire trilogy, from the long drawn out orc battles to the

You know what else I’m crushing on that has New Zealand roots?

5-ingredient snack cookies made with chickpeas and cashew butter sweetened with maple syrup and apple sauce. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert!

Happy Sunday, friends!

Does anyone else have major dish washing fatigue right about now?

As if it wasn’t enough to eat every stinking meal at home, we have to clean all those pots and pans, too?

I’ve set aside some time today to *actually* meal prep.

If you’re thinking, but Lauren, why meal prep during a quarantine?

Well, it occurred to me chatting with friends this week that it might be better to make larger portions in advance rather than making small meals on the spot.

We might have the time and space free to cook and bake at home constantly, but do we really want to?

As much as the kitchen is my happy place, I have other happy places that I’m missing.

Luckily, the recipe I recommend you meal prep today is made with just one blender and a cookie sheet!

These Cashew Butter Chickpea Snack Cookies require only 6 pantry-friendly staples to bring them to your kitchen.

Grab a can of chickpeas and a big spoonful of cashew butter and let’s get into it.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies made with natural peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, and hearty oats for the best texture and taste.

I was guilty of blasting Christmas music before Thanksgiving this year.

Because we leave for Germany in mid-December, everything holiday-related that I want to do here in the states has been a bit premature.

I resisted the urge to get a Christmas tree and instead have our gifts arranged under our giant monstera, now fondly referred to as the “Christmas monstera”.

What I really wanted to do was actually hang ornaments on the plant, but I care too much about her to risk damaging her structure for the novelty.

Anyway, so you get the idea, it’s been a truncated end to the year here at F&V HQ.

Being a recipe creator, I’m pretty used to being out of sync with the seasons.

As the goal is always to be ahead on content, that means creating holiday cookies before holiday cookie season.

Speaking of cookies, I have things to say about these circular baked goods.

I’m hereby proclaiming myself the cookie queen because I have the *best* new cookie recipe to share with you.

Save this one and share it with your friends, partners, parents, kids, and Santa himself.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are made with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and oatmeal for best texture and taste!

No-Chicken Chickpea Nuggets

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Plant-based and protein packed nuggets made with chickpeas and seasonings and baked to perfection. Serve with your favorite dip!

This past weekend M and I switched studio spaces.

We decided that, as much as I wanted my studio space to be separate and tucked away from “real life”, it just made sense logically to have me closer to the kitchen.

And M further from the noise of the kitchen.

So I lugged my photography boards, standing lights, and tiered shelves of props down to the main level while M disassembled and reassembled my standing desk.

For some reason it was emotional to leave my studio nook upstairs.

Yeah, that separation between personal and business life as a work-from-home entrepreneur is always hard.

Except lunchtime.

Lunchtime everything kind of falls into place.

Today I’m sharing these No-Chicken Chickpea Nuggets.

They’re baked and are the perfect plant-based back-to-school snack for all ages!

Turmeric Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Turmeric Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies made with salted dark chocolate chunks, cashew butter, and almond flour. Bakes in 15 minutes!

This past weekend M and I woke up at 4 AM to drive to Shenandoah with two of our friends to hike Old Rag.

Arriving in the parking lot a little after sunrise reminded me of why I’m a morning person.

We beat the crowd and had the trail primarily to ourselves, and the weather temps were still in the lows and not the highs.

But the high of the hike was when, at the summit, Nate got down on one knee and asked Anna to marry him.

I’ve never witnessed a proposal in person, especially not one involving two of my favorite people.

These two amazing humans who so clearly bring out the best in each other.

When she said yes the onlookers from rocks above us cheered and clapped and M snapped photos on his camera.

On the descent I couldn’t stop smiling and in that moment I believed the universe really does bring people together for a reason.

Like, you, dear friend, are here to make Turmeric Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies.

These grain-free, gluten-free, and plant-based cookies are made in just 1-bowl in 15 minutes!

Birthday Cake Batter Chickpea Balls

Celebrate with birthday cake batter balls made with chickpeas, maple syrup, cashew butter, and sprinkles! Yes, they taste like b-day cake!

How was your Memorial Day?

Yesterday was a special day for me because I taught my first virtual yoga class!

Before you get mad at me for not inviting you, don’t!

It was a private class for my cousin and her husband.

They’ve been asking me to teach them since the beginning of quarantine and I kept finding reasons why it wasn’t the right time…

Yesterday I finally ran out of reasons and realized that my main reason was fear.

So I threw together a quick 30 minute sequence, threw my hair up in a bun, and showed up on Skype to teach.

In those 30 minutes, for the first time, I felt like a true yoga teacher, virtually guiding them through postures and breath and finally, savasana.

And if that isn’t reason to celebrate with this sweet new snack I have in store for you…

These Birthday Cake Batter Chickpea Balls will give you a reason to celebrate snack-time!

They’re vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free while still tasking like cake.

Grab your blender, a can of chickpeas, and some sprinkles and let’s celebrate because…it’s somebody’s birthday somewhere.

Giant Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie

By Flora & Vino 7 Comments

Giant vegan, gluten-free, and grain-free almond flour chocolate chip cookie for two! Lightly sweetened with maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate chunks.

If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be living alone during a pandemic, I would have cried and then laughed and then cried some more.

Ah, 2019 Lauren didn’t have a *clue* what was about to go down.

If anything, current events have taught me about my own inner strength and perseverance in the face of uncertainty.

We just keep going, friend.

I hope that you, too, feel more capable than ever of getting through hard things.

Because we’re doing all of this together.

And today, we’re going to bake together.

Current events have also taught me a thing or two about baking a mean vegan cookie.

These Giant Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are resilient, too, you know.

They’re chewy and sweet and popping with chocolate chunks.

Make them in one-bowl with pantry friendly ingredients you already have at home.

And they only take 15 minutes to bake in the oven.

Let’s bake a BIG cookie!
