10 Vegan Lemon Recipes

10 Vegan Lemon Recipes that will get you excited for spring. However, this citrus collection is great whenever you need some brightness!

I know, I know, the first *official* day of spring is still a few weeks out.

And I also know that the sunny 60-degree afternoons we gladly accepted from the weather gods this past week are most likely not here to stay.

However, it does feel like spring is imminent in Maryland, USA.

I’m starting to plan for gardening projects, camping trips, and my annual spring cleaning.

After a long, heavy, hard, winter, it feels like we’re overdue for some sunshine.

Mostly, I’m just looking forward to some lightness and brightness.

This time of year, I always get excited about recipes with lemon!

While lemon is a staple in my kitchen year round, it takes center stage in spring time.

I love making it the focus of desserts, salads, main meals, and snacks.

It’s easy to pair with both sweet and savory recipes to add a pop of zest, color, and bright flavoring.

Today, I’m sharing 10 Vegan Lemon Recipes that you need to try this spring!

The collection includes all of my favorite lemon recipes that, while appropriate for any time of year, are particularly delicious in spring time.

I also hold the belief that if we all make them, spring might grace us with her presence a little sooner.

Let’s love on lemons!

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.

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.

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?

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

Fourth of July recipe round up featuring vegan and gluten-free mains, sides, and no-bake desserts with plenty of red, white, and blue options!

It’s getting hot here, friends.

This week is in the 90’s which makes me grateful that my community pool is *finally* open.

I dawned the orange and yellow striped bikini that I purchased for 2020 and then never wore to the pool for the first time this week.

My sister and I lay on beach towels draped over pool chairs, in awe of the strange normalcy of it all.

Going to the pool for the first time since 2019.

I felt naked to be have so much skin exposed, my belly button ring catching rays from the golden sun.

What normal things have YOU been doing this summer?

I’m hoping to see some fireworks for the Fourth of July.

If you need me I’ll be at a local vineyard nestled on top of a mountain, sipping wine and watching the skyline light up with exploding colors.

But we can also make some taste explosions at home, yeah?

In this Fourth of July Recipe Round Up I’m sharing some of my favorite vegan and gluten-free recipes for a barbecue or cookout.

Memorial Day Recipe Round-Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Memorial Day vegan and gluten-free mains, side dishes, and no-bake desserts that are perfect for a plant-based cookout or BBQ this summer!

This past weekend I went camping for the first time in a tent.

The first night I hardly slept, tossing and turning on our air mattress, amazed that nature could be so deafeningly loud.

The second night, I slept much better, maybe because I grew more comfortable in my surroundings or maybe just because I was too darn tired.

Anyway, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the whole experience.

I never grew up camping, so I just kind of assumed camping wasn’t for me.

But, man, was I wrong; I loved it.

Sitting around the campfire telling stories, eating chili reheated over a camp cooktop, watching the flames lick the wooden logs.

I felt totally unplugged and yet left recharged, surrounded by friends who feel like family against a comforting backdrop of nature and community.

And since this was my first real camping trip, it was also my first ever real s’mores.

My friend Anna showed me how to brown the marshmallow on all sides before smushing it on a square of dark chocolate between graham crackers.

We captured my post-s’mores smile in a photo to commemorate the moment; my eyes closed in marshmallow rapture.

With all of the excitement of my trip last weekend, I almost forgot that next weekend is Memorial Day.

In this Memorial Day Recipe Round-Up post I’m sharing some of my favorite vegan and gluten-free recipes for a cookout.

Mix and match these plant-based mains, sides, no-bakes desserts, dips, and drinks to create your own cookout menu!

Mother’s Day Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

A collection of easy vegan and gluten-free spring breakfast, brunch, and dessert recipes that’s sure to impress all of the mother figures in your life!

Hi, friends!

Today my Saturday project was potting a set of four red begonias that my community was gifting to all residents.

I decided to put them on the front steps in two pots, two plants per pot, one pot on either side of the cement steps.

To be honest, these are the first flowers that I’ve ever potted myself.

So I felt pretty adult dawning gardening gloves and packing potting soil around flimsy scarlet petals.

And flowers made me think of mom, because on Mother’s Day usually flowers are my thing.

(I may or may not have called my parents for potting advice, because parental input > Google.)

Even before the pandemic, I liked to send my my mom a bright bouquet of flowers to say, hey, I’m thinking of you.

This year, I thought I’d be creative and group together a list of themed recipes that would be delicious to enjoy with mom or in her honor!

In this Mother’s Day Recipe Round Up, you’ll find easy spring breakfast, brunch, and dessert recipes that are sure to impress all of the mother figures in your life.

My Favorite Vegan & Gluten-Free Product Alternatives by Flora & Vino

I was on a phone call last week with a food brand client, when I had an epiphany.

I definitely can’t always say that about work calls, can you?

Anyway, before talking blog and business, we had a great chat about being plant-based.

She mentioned that she was consciously eating more plants, and I applauded her for trying out a plant-based meal every day.

We went on to talk about the incredible variety of vegan product alternatives that exist today.

“You know,” she mused out loud, “I wish there was a list that you could give me of which products are worth trying and which aren’t.”

“That’s an excellent idea,” I said.

So, guys, I went off and made that list, and I’m sharing it with you today.

In this post, I’m sharing My Favorite Vegan & Gluten-Free Product Alternatives to commonly used meat, dairy, and wheat ingredients.

I use these high-quality products with ingredient integrity on a daily basis, both in my everyday eats and recipe testing.

They’re great to have on hand in order to make vegan and gluten-free eating accessible and easy.

Check them out and add your favorites to your next grocery list!

Vegan Valentine’s Day Recipe Round Up

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Recipes that are easy to love and share with the ones you love; including date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and pink treats!

Last week, I talked to my friend about Valentine’s Day.

She’s kind of a hater, to put it bluntly.

While I usually jump on board with any reason to celebrate (especially during COVID!), I kind of get what she’s saying.

Why put so much commercial and societal pressure on *one* small day to celebrate all of the love in our lives?

It’s true, I think we should be expressing and acknowledging our love, and self-love, all year round.

Although, sometimes it’s the novelty of having a day set aside, one specifically to be grateful for all the love we’re fortunate enough to give and receive.

So, if you want to make some sweets and treats this February 14th, I won’t stop you.

In fact, I’ll make it super easy for you, with this recipe round up.

If you’re like me, you’re probably staying in this year to do the whole V-day thing, yeah?

Sure, we might make a fancier dinner, we might open a good bottle of red, and we *might* make a cute dessert to share.

In this Vegan Valentine’s Day Recipe Round Up, you’ll find a list of date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and plenty of pink and red sweets.

But, while you’re chowing down, remember that any evening has the potential to be romantic, and any day of the week is the right time to tell someone how much you care.

Finally, remember that sometimes the coziest, coveted memories are those spent in the company of friends, pets, or, yourself. …
