So sad to see one series end but it only means the beginning of a new one. And trust me when I say it’s going to get good this summer. Shall we reminisce and playback what we made here in our First Annual Gluten-free Vegan “Seafood” Bake? Everyone raise their cold glass of Mixed Berry Wine Spritzer as the slow and teary-eyed music is cued:
King Oyster Mushroom “Scallops”
I felt like we were watching the “Actors We Lost This Year” segment at the Oscars. A heart-felt moment. Moving, really. Speaking of moving…
I need to get myself out of this chair. I’ve been sitting here all morning working and I need to stop. Do you mind I cut this one short? I mean, I’m offering alcohol so I’d like to think I’ve covered my bases here.
I knew you’d understand.
Ingredients
- 1 c. Riesling wine
- 1 c. sparkling water
- 1/3 c. fresh blackberries
- 1/3 c. fresh blueberries
- 1/3 c. fresh raspberries
- handful fresh mint leaves
- handful ice cubes
Directions
- Place ice cubes into two cups.
- Evenly divide everything into each cup.
- Enjoy.
Oh but before I go, what are your weekend plans besides drinking Mixed Berry Wine Spritzers (of course)? Quick, I need ideas as I have nothing planned yet!

I love berries and wine spritzer…these gorgeous meals will pair well with this lovely drink!
Cara
I figured the berries would balance it all out and make you feel good about drinking… xo
Becky Striepe
Oh yum! I love a wine spritzer, and adding berries is genius! Sort of like a less-sweet sangria.
Cara
It’s like balancing out your bad alcohol behavior, right? 😉
Shira
You’ve never covered your bases here dearest Cara – this spritzer looks just amazing! xo
Shira
Ha ha that was supposed to read definitely 🙂 LOL.
Cara
I like how I never cover my bases though. hahaha! So happy to see your gorgeous face. xo
Mary Ellen @ Health.Balance.Happiness
I just started reading your blog and I love the idea of a vegan “seafood” bake! All of the recipes look wonderful!
The shiitake mushroom scampi is really clever. I haven’t had shrimp in years and am excited to try your version. I can see that the mushrooms would be a good substitute.
Cara
You are so sweet Mary Ellen–thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Let’s plan a vegan seafood bake together 🙂 I just need to buy a big picnic table to house all these people…

Still here, Well I can eat the berries and my husband will drink the rest, My G.I. track is not happy, so Im still working on my health, just wanted to say hi! And Pinned…
Cara
I’m throwing berries in the air so you can catch them in your mouth 😉
Jules
Cara, love love love your stuff. Call me crazy, but isn’t that a plate of “crab cakes” in your picture right underneath the ears of corn? Did I miss that recipe? Or is that yet to come 🙂
Cara
Hi Crazy 🙂 Wow, that is something my mom would say. ha. You are actually NOT crazy, you are right! But I decided that the fish sticks I recently created were awfully similar that I chose not to post them. If you want the recipe I would be more than happy to supply you with it 🙂 Thank you for your sweet words! xo
Dawn
You create the best recipes Cara! Can’t wait to try them all!
Cara
Dawn, that is such a sweet thing to say–THANK YOU!! I think I should just have a big ol’ dinner party and have everyone over 🙂 Wanna come? hehe
Jennifer S @Sterling Sweets
I must say, this seafood bake is absolutely genius and I can’t wait to try your recipes!
No real weekend plans, but I do have to work. Hopefully, you have some time to sit back and relax!
Cara
Jennifer, thank you so much for always being so super supportive! I hope you had a great weekend and didn’t work too hard 😉

You really cannot go wrong with wine, now can you Heather? 😉
Shirley Braden
Can we please get together and enjoy all these amazing recipes together? Seriously. Bravo, my dear! Can’t wait to see what’s up next!
I’ve spent the day with hubby and tomorrow will be heading to my friend’s river house for an overnight gluten-free getaway. It’s only about 24 hours, but it will be awesome. 🙂
Hope you came up with some great plans, Cara! xo,
Shirley
Cara
Shirley, I’m serious, if we lived close enough to each other I would so have lunch ready for you!
I hope you had a beautiful time at the river house–I love the sound of that! xo
