Rhubarb is more well known for its sweet applications, but I love to use it in savory ones too. These grilled shrimp with rhubarb sauce are a great way get out the grill this season!
The rhubarb sauce is a little sweet and sour thanks to the honey and the rhubarb. It pairs perfectly with the subtle sweetness of the shrimp. Continue reading

Radish season has come and gone in my spring garden. While I had fresh radishes, I made these teriyaki tempeh tacos with radish carrot slaw so many times. Find some radishes to try them out for yourself!
Radish is one of those ingredients that I never quite know what to do with. Sure you can slice them and add them to salads, but there are only so many of those salads I can eat before they get boring. Continue reading
I have a few curry recipes here on the blog, and in none of them do I use curry powder. I always use my own blend of spices and seasonings. One day I had an aha moment, I should mix up a batch of homemade curry powder for meal prep to simplify the process.
Curry is a term used to describe the gravy or sauce found in traditional Indian cuisine. There are so many variations on flavors found in curry, and therefore curry powders can vary quite a lot, so I like to make my own. Continue reading

Friends, today I am very excited to share a new product with you that I have been in love with. Fired Up Jellies and Jams is a popular local brand that makes amazing jellies/jams with habanero peppers. I used their peach version to make these ginger peach habanero shrimp kabobs.
The Cinnful Peach Habanero Jam is made with a vietnamese cinnamon that is quite different from the kind you might put into your favorite baked goods. Peaches and ginger are a match made in heaven, and the spicy cinnamon compliments them both. 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

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

Soup season is in full swing here in the allspice world and I have been playing with lots of recipes; old and new recipes alike. This ginger red lentil pumpkin soup recipe comes from an old favorite that needed a re-do.
Are you a blended soup fan? I adore blended soups, hence why this recipe is a favorite. Blended soups turn vegetables into a creamy oblivion that is swoon worthy. This recipe is no exception. It also lets me star one of my favorite ingredients: Lentils. Continue reading

Have you hopped on board of the miso train yet? Miso is such a flavorful condiment that can be used in so many ways. I use it in sauces and dressing for the most part, like this ginger miso dressing.
What is Miso? It is a fermented soy bean paste that is salty and a little bit tangy. It ads huge amounts of umami flavor to any dish you add it to. It comes in many varieties like white miso, yellow miso, and red miso. Continue reading
