Pineapple Sriracha Tempeh Tacos

Pineapple Sriracha Tempeh Tacos by Alison's AllspiceOne of my favorite tempeh recipes is my gyro tempeh tacos.  I used it as inspiration when I made these pineapple sriracha tempeh tacos.  They are fast, fresh, and perfect for summer!

The pineapple sriracha combo has a great sweet and spicy complex.  I flavored the tempeh very modestly, just so that it wouldn’t be bland, and added some crunchy cabbage as filler. Continue reading

Cucumber Dill Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas

Cucumber Dill Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas by Alison's AllspiceThis fresh-from-the-garden cucumber dill quinoa salad with chickpeas is light and refreshing, but also filling.  The chickpeas and quinoa and loaded with protein to help sustain you all day long.

I love a simple red wine vinaigrette on most of my salads.  They are so easy to make and add huge amounts of flavor. Quinoa will soak up the dressing, so if you are making a large batch and plan to have leftovers (say, work lunches), store the dressing separately. Continue reading

Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw

Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw by Alison's AllspiceA few months ago, I developed an easy homemade mole sauce recipe.  Most of the time I think of meat based dishes when I think of mole sauce.  Therefore, I have been playing with the sauce finding good vegetarian uses, like these mole black bean tostadas with slaw!

If you missed it, the first mole sauce recipe I posted was the mole jackfruit street tacos.  This recipe is moist and delicious, but I thought it was lacking protein. Therefore, I started working with mole and black beans. Continue reading

Kimchi Fried Rice with Peas and Cabbage

Kimchi Fried Rice with Peas and Cabbage by Alison's AllspiceAfter the photo shoot for this kimchi fried rice with peas and cabbage was finished, I started nomming like normal.  Then, I realized I forgot to photograph piercing the egg (a classic sunny side up egg shot).  I looked down at my bowl, and thought, 3/4 gone is actually a pretty good shot to see what it really looks like.

Did I go back to the studio and capture it?  No. It was too good to stop eating!  It was everything I could do to savory every bite instead of inhaling it in two seconds. Continue reading

Cilantro Avocado Pesto Pasta

Cilantro Avocado Pesto Pasta by Alison's AllspiceCalling all avocado fans!!  If you’re like me, you buy avocados in the bag to the get the best deal.  This also means, that you have a lot of avocado to use.  This cilantro avocado pesto pasta recipe is so good, I ate it everyday last week to use up my bag of buttery avocado fruits!

In addition to avocados, I have totally fallen in love with chickpea pasta.  You could use any pasta in this recipe, but using chickpea pasta gives you a boost of protein, as well as fiber.  Two essentials that you need in your diet, that usually wouldn’t be high in a basic pasta dish.

Pineapple Jalapeno Teriyaki Veggie Burger

Pineapple Jalapeno Teriyaki Veggie Burger by Alison's AllspiceFriends, I seem to have a thing for crazy veggie burgers!  I was inspired by a local restaurant to make this pineapple jalapeno teriyaki veggie burger, and it is a treat!

I recently learned something new.  Nutritional yeast is high in protein!  I have always used it to add flavor to veggie burgers and other vegetarian dishes, but never realized that it was adding 8 grams of protein per tablespoon as well. Continue reading

Lentil Tacos with Asparagus Pico de Gallo by Alison's AllspiceHappy May everyone!  Spring is such a great time of year, for so many reasons.  Warming weather, green grass and flower, and asparagus!
