Friends, it has been a very busy summer for me, and I hope you all have a summer full of great recipes so far. This recipe, Greek chickpea salad, is one that I have been eating a lot this summer.
This salad is very easy to make. It requires a little bit of time to chop all the vegetables, but it is totally worth it. The flavor of all the vegetables go together perfectly, and the dressing is the icing on the cake! Continue reading

During summer, zucchini is a staple! It is such a healthy and versatile vegetable that is also easy to grow in our summer gardens. Sometimes, I end up with waaaaayyyyyy too many zucchini, and these are all the recipes that I have used over the years to use up zucchini!
All of the following recipes are vegetarian as that is how I eat most of the time. Feel free to make the recipes your own by substituting your favorite proteins, or making vegan and dairy free swaps! Continue reading
Friends, it has been a busy summer, but I have not forgotten about you and your recipe needs! This roasted cauliflower and spinach pasta recipe is a simple one that I whipped up out of leftover ingredients in the fridge but I loved it so much that I though you all needed to have it here.
I wrote this recipe as a single serving because that is how I made it. It could easily be doubled or quadrupled to serve your whole family or to take to a cookout. Continue reading

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

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.

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
