Kale Smoothie

Kale Smoothie by Alison's AllspiceThis spring, I was eating kale salads on repeat and still had more kale than I could use coming out of my garden. I decided to try blanching and freezing it with the intent to make a kale smoothie recipe, which is finally here!

There are a lot of kale smoothie recipes on the internet, and not all of them are good, in my opinion. I love kale, its flavor does not bother me. In addition, I’m using blanched kale which naturally should be less bitter, so perhaps my taste buds are biased on what makes a kale smoothie good. Continue reading

Peach Yogurt Smoothie

Peach Yogurt Smoothie by Alison's AllspiceThe other day I was looking for a fast easy lunch so I whipped up this peach yogurt smoothie. It was so easy and so filling, this one is going into my regular rotation!

Lunches for me generally include leftovers, or something simple to make.  When I don’t plan in advance, its great to have back pocket recipes like this one to save the day. Continue reading

Asparagus and Pesto Baked Eggs

Asparagus and Pesto Baked Eggs by Alison's AllspiceI have another asparagus recipe for you this week!  This time, I made a quick and easy lunch, asparagus and pesto baked eggs.  I used sundried tomato pesto, and it was stunning in this dish!

First, many asparagus baked eggs do not use pesto.  I used it because I wanted an extra pop of flavor.  If you don’t have any, this dish will still be tasty, just not as complex. Continue reading

Small Batch Blueberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal

Most of the time, I am cooking for two. Recipes like this small batch blueberry pecan baked oatmeal allow me to enjoy my favorite things, without dealing with more leftovers than I desire. 

This recipe is written to make only 4 servings and be baked in a small 8×6 inch baking pan, or an 8 inch round cake pan. That being said, there are plenty of reasons to double the recipe!  Continue reading

Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches

Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches by Alison's AllspiceFriends, it has been a busy fall as usual (busy but good), and I have not been posting as often as I like to. Today I have a great fall recipe for you to try, purple sweet potato and kale mini crustless quiches, and there will be many more recipes coming once winter break has started! 

So, more about quiches! 

Quiches are supposed to be more custard-like than a fritatta or egg bake because they have more dairy in them.  I love adding cottage cheese for a portion of my dairy because it adds a boost of protein.  The little chunks also create air pockets when baking, so this recipe will yield a light and fluffy quiche.  Continue reading

Savory Fajita Steel Cut Oats

Savory Fajita Steel Cut Oats by Alison's AllspiceI have long read about savory oats, but it took me a long time to try them.  I was going through all the grains stashed in the back of the pantry, deciding what needed to be used first.  The steel cut oats were on the top of the list, and thus I made savory fajita steel cut oats!

The steel cut oats have a creamy texture in comparison to making a grain bowl with rice or quinoa.  Think of it like a polenta bowl instead, but made with wholesome oats. Continue reading

Veggie Breakfast Quesadilla

Veggie Breakfast Quesadilla by Alison's AllspiceMexican food is my aboslute favortie cuisine, so I figured, why not have it for breakfast?  This veggie breakfast quesadilla is loaded with scrambled eggs, diced veggies, and cheddar cheese!

Honestly, this recipe is so simple and quick, you could make it for a speedy weeknight dinner, or easy on-the-go lunch as well.  It doesn’t even really have the “breakfast for dinner” vibe like when you have pancakes for dinner. Continue reading
