This coconut turmeric noodle bowl with tofu and veggies was inspired by golden milk, a creamy drink or tea made with a base of plant-based milk and turmeric. I used the golden milk in place of broth to make a creamy noodle bowl that can be eaten hot or cold.
This isn’t a soup recipe because the ingredients are prepared individually, not together in one pot. It resembles a buddah bowl more than it does soup. Continue reading

Dinner at my house tonight is going to be grilled shrimp with creamy cocktail sauce! The creamy cocktail sauce is a condiment from the UK also known as Marie Rose sauce.
I discovered this sauce/dip once when I was serving cold cocktail shrimp and totally overlooked the idea something to dip them in. I went searching the internet for a simple dip that I could whip up from pantry ingredients and I have been making this sauce ever since! Continue reading

Friends, can you beleive that this is the first time I have tried roasting asparagus?!? Me either. Grilling it is usually my go-to method. One night when it was raining, I decided against grilling so I tried this roasted asparagus with creamy dill sauce.
If you are an asparagus fan like me, you will come back to this recipe time and time again. I have made it three times already this season and cannot get enough! Continue reading

A few months ago, I posted this recipe for butternut squash chickpea curry. One week when I was cleaning out the fridge, I used the recipe but made alterations based on what I had. My family loved this sweet potato coconut curry even more than we loved the butternut squash version, so I just had to share it with you all!
So, what alterations did I make? Two major swaps and one omission is all that you will find. I swaped sweet potato for the butternut, and tofu for the chickpeas. Continue reading

A few weeks ago I shared a recipe for my ultimate crispy tofu that is so cripsy and crunchy that you will never make tofu another way again. This week, I transformed the recipe to make these crispy buffalo tofu bites!
When I first transitioned to a meatless lifestyle, I missed buffalo wings the most. While these buffalo tofu bites are not “wings” they do satify that desired for something crispy and spicy! Continue reading

I seem to see a lot of “rice and chickpeas” style dishes out there on the web and I decided that I had to see what they are all about. Honestly, I was surprised at how simple yet flavorful the idea is. Check out my turmeric rice with cumin toasted chickpeas recipe to see what I mean.
When I look at a bowl full of rice and chicpeas, I think there is nothing to it. It’s gonna be bland. Well, that just doesn’t have to be the case; not when you’re in the Allspice kitchen! Continue reading

This fast and easy Italian polenta pie is a cassarole-like dish that uses pantry staples like lentils, marinara, and a tube of prepared polenta.
Mr. Allspice (who is not usually a cassarole fan) said it was “surprisingly good,” so perhaps you can surprise your family with this easy dish as well. Continue reading

Friends, today I have for you a recipe that is like no others. I have tried for years to replicate the crispy tofu that my favorite local thai restaurant makes without success. Finally, I have figured out how to make the ultimate crispy tofu, without needing to add breading.
In this previous post, Easy Pan Fried Crispy Tofu, I outlined the most common way that I make tofu. The exterior gets crispy and the interior stays soft. It is easy and delicous, but this recipe has a secret method that makes even Crispier tofu. Yes, Crispy with a capital C! Continue reading
This Brazilian coconut shrimp stew is traditionally called moqueca. It can be made with fish or various types of seafood. I decided to try this dish because I loved the look of the creamy coconut with the rich seafood.
In my version I only used shirmp and not multiple types of seafood. This simplified the dish to be something that I could make with mostly pantry staples and frozen shirmp. Continue reading
