Tomato Braised Tofu with Cilantro Lime Rice

Posted on September 25, 2021 | Leave a comment

Before I was born, my parents had a neighbor from Mexico that taught my mom a few traditional recipes that we enjoyed all throughout my childhood. This tomato braised tofu recipe with cilantro lime rice is adapted from one that we simply called “Mexican Pork” where the pork is braised in a tomato sauce that is infused with traditional spices and aromatics.

Cherry Tomato Stewed Butter Beans over Toast

Posted on September 18, 2021 | Leave a comment

At the end of the gardening season, I am always bringing in loads of cherry tomatoes. These little gems are such a treat because they are the sweetest tomato around. I love turning them into rustic sauces, like I do in this cherry tomato stewed butter beans over toast recipe.

Butter beans are also known as lima beans. They’re renaming is apt because these beans really do have a moist and buttery center. You could also make this recipe with white beans, but don’t be intimidated by the large butter bean. In my opinion, they are better! Continue reading →

Grilled Portabella and Lentil Spaghetti

Posted on August 14, 2021 | Leave a comment

That time of the year where life starts to get crazy busy is here again. It’s back to school time, and for me that means meal prep! One of my favorite ways to meal prep is to grill some extra veggies to use in other meals, like this grilled portabella and lentil spaghetti recipe.

Do you practice meal prep? I highly recommend it as it is a time saver in the long run. I like to meal prep all sorts of things, like grilling vegetables for this recipe, or cooking a big batch of grains or making work lunches for the week. Continue reading →

Smoked Tofu Vegan BLT

Posted on July 31, 2021 | Leave a comment

This smoked tofu vegan BLT is on regular rotation at my house! It is one of my favorite ways to use my smoked tofu recipe; I think we have it every time I pull out the smoker!

This dish is hardly a recipe because a quality smoked tofu is all you need to make vegan bacon. Just thin slice it and pan fry in some oil. Your house will smell heavenly! Continue reading →

Coconut Turmeric Noodle Bowl with Tofu and Veggies

Posted on May 29, 2021 | Leave a comment

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 →

Sesame Soba Noodles with Asparagus and Tofu

Posted on May 8, 2021 | Leave a comment

This sesame soba noodles with asparagus and tofu recipe is one that takes me back many years. I made this recipe often when I was a young person traveling for work every few months.

The ingredients are simple and there are many swaps that can be made with success, even for a novice cook like myself when I was young. It is also full of flavor making it an easy favorite to have again and again, which I did! Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Coconut Curry

Posted on April 17, 2021 | Leave a comment

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 →

Crispy Buffalo Tofu Bites

Posted on April 4, 2021 | Leave a comment

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 →

Turmeric Rice with Cumin Toasted Chickpeas

Posted on March 28, 2021 | 2 comments

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 →

Ultimate Crispy Tofu

Posted on March 7, 2021 | 4 comments

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 →
