Kale Smoothie

Kale Smoothie by Alison's AllspiceThis spring, I was eating kale salads on repeat and still had more kale than I could use coming out of my garden. I decided to try blanching and freezing it with the intent to make a kale smoothie recipe, which is finally here!

There are a lot of kale smoothie recipes on the internet, and not all of them are good, in my opinion. I love kale, its flavor does not bother me. In addition, I’m using blanched kale which naturally should be less bitter, so perhaps my taste buds are biased on what makes a kale smoothie good. Continue reading

Thai-Style Sour Salad with Peaches

Thai-Style Sour Salad with Peaches by Alison's Allspice This week I have another peach recipe for you, but this is no ordinary peach recipe.  This Thai-style sour salad is made with peaches, tofu, and green beans.  The dressing is amazing; it is sour yet complex in a lick-up-every-drop kind of way.

Most Thai-style salads are made with papaya and are made very (very) spicy.  The only spice I included was some red pepper flake to season the tofu, so this salad is pretty mild and fits my midwestern palate well. Continue reading

Peach Yogurt Smoothie

Peach Yogurt Smoothie by Alison's AllspiceThe other day I was looking for a fast easy lunch so I whipped up this peach yogurt smoothie. It was so easy and so filling, this one is going into my regular rotation!

Lunches for me generally include leftovers, or something simple to make.  When I don’t plan in advance, its great to have back pocket recipes like this one to save the day. Continue reading

Homemade Dehydrator Peach Leather

Homemade Dehydrator Peach Leather by Alison's AllspiceDo you remember those sugary fruit roll-ups that you might have eaten as a kid?  My homemade dehydrator peach leather is a healthy version of that snack that can be made with essentially only 1 ingredient!

I tested this recipe with and without sugar and found both versions to be delicious.  You don’t really need to add the sugar, but if your peaches are not very sweet, you may still want it. Continue reading

Ginger Peach Habanero Shrimp Kabobs

Ginger Peach Habanero Shrimp Kabobs by Alison's AllspiceFriends, 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

Peach Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Peach Bourbon Barbecue Sauce by Alison's AllspiceThis recipe is a little late coming to the blog, but better late than never.  Late this summer I was craving some barbecue and decided to experiment with my own sauce.  I made peach bourbon barbecue sauce with this years bumper peach crop!

Barbecue sauce comes in soooo many varieties, there is no one way to make it.  This barbecue sauce recipe is a little sweet, but still balanced with savory flavors like onion, garlic, and tomato.  Continue reading

Barbecue Black Bean Tacos with Peach Salsa

Barbecue Black Bean Tacos with Peach Salsa by Alison's AllspiceThis month, the recipe redux asked us for our favorite healthy recipe celebrating stone fruits!  Peaches are actually my second favorite stone fruit, behind cherries, and I love them in these barbecue black bean tacos with peach salsa!

Peaches pair perfectly with other fresh salsa ingredients, like acidic tomatoes, and bright cilantro.  Their sweetness really helps to balance the salsa, which is the star of this dish! Continue reading
