Cheddar Broccoli Potato Fritters
This was a thrown-together weeknight dinner gone very very right. These are a fairly decadent little meal, but a great treat that you totally deserve. Or you can throw it on a big plate of greens and feel a lot less guilty about it. That’s my style 🙂 I bought a can of peeled white…

(Raw) Ranch Kale Chips
I am absolutely in love with making kale chips with some serious crunchy coating. I started with my cheesy nacho variety and now it’s time for ranch! I have no idea what’s next, but it’s going to happen soon. These are satisfying and delicious treats. I may or may not have had lunch a couple…

Fix My Pics: Rosemary Polenta “Fries”
Welcome to the first in a new series I’m doing called Fix My Pics! This is a long-term project I plan to work on in which I will replace some nasty, yellow, out-of-focus, poorly-cropped, can’t-believe-I-used-the-flash photos in old posts with new my-DSLR-is-so-fancy-and-now-I-know-what-kind-of-lighting-I-need pictures. Did that make sense? Maybe only to my fellow crazies. How bout…

Buffalo Cauliflower Wings + Ranch Sauce
I officially found my favorite way to eat cauliflower. Battered, baked, and covered in buffalo sauce. Obviously. This is a delicious recipe I found on An Edible Mosaic, which I just discovered this week and can’t stop looking at! There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian (easily veganized) dishes on this site, plus some…

Cheesy Nacho Kale Chips
Like a good vegan girl, I love love love kale chips. I will happily eat a bunch of kale in the form of those light-and-airy home-baked ones with a little oil and simple flavorings (like my Sweet Onion Kale Chips.) But I’m also crazy for those covered-in-sauce, really crunchy store-bought chips. But they are so…

Mexican Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn
I bring to you awesome dessert popcorn! Yay! Growing up, I had a friend whose mom would make us popcorn for dessert with melted white chocolate drizzled over it. It was shockingly good. I completely intend on figuring out how to make vegan white chocolate since it’s so hard to find. But until that day…

Whole Wheat Cheez-Its
Vegan whole wheat cheesy crackers!!! This is not my recipe, it is from the incredible blog Fork & Beans, but it is soooo delicious I had to make sure to post this. I’ve had this recipe flagged for a really long time and haven’t gotten around to it because I assumed that making my…

Cranberry Pepita Trail Mix + Breakfast Truffles
I have an awesome simple combination for you. Dried cranberries and raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds.) They are a wonderful combination that I first started eating as a trail mix sold by a fruit-and-nuts stand at a farmer’s market. You ready for this incredibly difficult trail mix recipe? Are you sure? Combine equal parts pepitas and…

Super Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
Superbowl Edition of Flora Foodie has arrived!!! I didn’t do a Super Bowl post last year because I just don’t care I was on vacation. But this year, the 49ers are in the Super Bowl! Apparently we Northern Californians have been awaiting this moment for a long time… 🙂 Personally, I have been awaiting THIS…

Beer Battered Baked Onion Rings + Sriracha Ketchup
I am shocked that I have waited so long to make an onion ring recipe. Actually, I’m shocked that I pretty much never make onion rings. They are one of my favorite indulgences of all time. The smell of battered and fried onion rings is irresistible to me. But I eat them rarely, and I…
