Sweet Corn Tomalito
Okay, this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it moments. Personally, I love sweet corn tomalito. What is sweet corn tomalito? You know those really inauthentic (yet delicious) Mexican restaurants that seem to specialize only in the greasiest Mexican food and over-sized margaritas (I’m looking at you, Chevy’s & El Torito)? You know that little scoop…

Chocolate Tofu Pudding
Alright, I’ve seen these recipes for pudding made with tofu for soooooo long and have always been too scared to try them. I don’t really know why. There’s nothing in them that I dislike. It just has kind of freaked me out a bit. But I decided it’s finally time. And although many…

Prosecco & Pear Granita Float

“Fisher Price” Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls
One of my favorite treats growing up! My mom calls these “Fisher Price” because the recipe actually came with some Fisher Price toys that my sister and I had. The original recipe is filled with tons of honey, instant dry milk (gross!), and was impossible to make with natural peanut butter. Now they’re revamped! …

Lava Flow Sorbet
Piña Colada sorbet. With strawberry sauce on top. What else can I say? This recipe is inspired by one of my Hawaiian treats! I had a couple Lava Flow drinks during my trip (spiked and virgin versions, both amazing!) They’re piña coladas with some kind of amazing red fruit puree poured down the sides…

Welcome to Flora Foodie! Even though there are already a million food blogs out there, I’m adding one more. I recently became vegan, and thought this would be a fun way to track my transition. I’ll be using Flora Foodie to follow my progress, making my favorite recipes vegan, creating my own versions…
