Arugula Wild Rice Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

Arugula Wild Rice Salad by Alison's AllspiceI love to grow arugula in my garden, but the homegrown arugula is much stronger in flavor than the baby arugula you get from the store.  I started making this arugula wild rice salad to tame those strong garden fresh flavors!

The wild rice helps to subdue the peppery arugula by bulking up the salad with a mild earthy flavor (which pairs quite nicely).  I also add cranberries for sweetness, pecans for crunch and protein, and feta for a salty bite. Continue reading

Five Spice Chickpea Clementine Buddha Bowl

Five Spice Chickpea Clementine Buddah Bowl by Alison's AllspiceChinese five spice powder is a delicious blend of warm spices, including  things like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg!  I love pairing these warming flavors with bright citrus in this five spice chickpea clementine buddha bowl!

Before we move on, lets talk about the buddah bowl.  It has become a popular name for vegetarian or vegan dish served in a single bowl.  Usually you see a combination of whole grains, plant based proteins, veggies, and sometimes fruit! Continue reading

Korean BBQ Veggie Burgers with Kimchi Slaw

Korean BBQ Veggie Burger with Kimchi Slaw by Alison's AllspiceHave you heard of the Korean BBQ sauce, gochujang?  I recently tried in on my Bi Bim Bop Spaghetti Squash Bowls and loved the sweet and spicy tangy sauce.  This recipe for Korean BBQ veggie burgers uses a homemade gochujang sauce!

Do you ever feel like your fridge is just loaded with condiments?  Maybe something you needed for a single recipe that you have never used again?  I hate throwing out half used jars of this and that because they are long expired in the back of the fridge. Continue reading

Spiced Turmeric Tofu with Coconut Cilantro Rice

Spiced Turmeric Tofu with Coconut Cilantro Rice by Alison's AllspiceWhen I was prepping this recipe for the blog, I couldn’t decide if it should be two recipes or one.  In the end, I made it a single recipe for spiced turmeric tofu with coconut cilantro rice. The rice and tofu could be served separately, but they are awesome together!

I’m a huge fan of tofu, while most people are not.  I don’t know why, but I have just always loved it.  Even before going meatless I would seek out restaurants that had great tofu.  Continue reading

High Protein Vegan Thai Green Curry

High Protein Vegan Thai Green Curry by Alison's AllspiceToday I want to tell you about the best airplane food I’ve ever had.  It was a vegan green curry, and I loved it so much, I was inspired to make my own high protein vegan thai green curry.

Usually, I don’t think much of the food they serve on airplanes.  Vegetarians are stuck with mushy pasta dishes, and no other options.  The last time I few, they ran out of mushy pasta, and I refused to take the chicken dish.  Continue reading

Quick Blackened Fish Burrito Bowls

Quick Blackened Fish Burrito Bowls By Alison's AllspiceI first experimented with this recipe while on a fishing trip. Does anyone else insist on cooking while on vacation?  At least I plan fast and easy meals, like these quick blackened fish burrito bowls!

I love the easy prep of bowl meals, and to make this bowl even faster and easier, I used some ready-to-go ingredients. Canned black beans, frozen corn, and pre-made salsa make this dish easy! Continue reading

Vegan Black Bean Beet Veggie Burgers

Vegan Black Bean Beet Veggie Burgers by Alison's AllspiceBeet burgers have been on my to-make list for a long time.  I’m not a huge fan of beets, but these vegan black bean beet veggie burgers didn’t taste a thing like beets.  In fact, I think these will become my new go-to burger recipe!

One thing that I love about veggie burgers is how versatile they are.  You can throw in just about any veggie with some good seasonings.  I had some leftover corn that I threw into these burgers, and I loved the pop of color that it added to the patty! Continue reading

Peanut Butter Tofu Banh Mi Bowls by Alison's AllspiceThis weekend,  I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home.  These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!

I love to do my grocery shopping, which might be weird, but what kind of women doesn’t like to shop?!  Personally, I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes, I like to shop for food.  I guess I’m a foodie.  Maybe. Continue reading
