Fried Chickpea Gyro Salad

Posted on April 30, 2022 | Leave a comment

Fried Chickpea Gyro Salad by Alison's AllspiceWhen I first stared to eat more plant-based meals, I can across a recipe (now long lost) that marindaded and fried chickpeas.  It is such a simple process that completely transforms the humble chickpea.  Here I use a gyro inspired marinade to make fried chickpea gyro salad.

I have posted a very similar recipe before, my fried chickpea gyro bowls, made with a base of rice, chopped vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.  While I love grain bowls, I was craving a salad this time, so I adapted the recipe. Continue reading →

White Cheddar Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

Posted on January 22, 2022 | 2 comments

White Cheddar Broccoli Cauliflower Soup by Alison's AllspiceBefore I developed this recipe, I had never tried to make homemade broccoli cheddar soup.  Broccoli is (one of) my favorite vegetables, so it was about time!  I made some tweeks to my recipe, and thus named it white cheddar broccoli cauliflower soup.

For me, making a dish healthy is not about subtracting “bad” ingredients, it’s about adding more “good” ingredients.  Therefore, I tried to load my recipe with lots of vegetables to balance with the the fat from the dairy. Continue reading →

Mushroom and Pickled Onion Sandwiches

Posted on January 15, 2022 | Leave a comment

Mushroom and Pickled Onion Sandwiches by Alison's AllspiceWhenever I enjoy a sandwich, I want it to be over-the-top.  So full of flavor and texture that you’ll beleive its the best food in the world.  These mushroom and pickled onion sandwiches are rather simple, yet loaded with both texture and flavor.

Lets start by discussing the texture.  The silky cheese coats the mushroom pieces helping to hold them together, pickled onions add brightness, and the lettuce and toasted bread add crunch. Continue reading →

Vegetarian Green Tomato Chili

Posted on November 28, 2021 | 4 comments

Vegetarian Green Tomato Chili by Alison's AllspiceAt the end of gardening season, I was gifted a huge box of green tomatoes.  I love finding ways to use unsual ingredients, so I set to work making both new and old green tomato recipes.  This vegetarian green tomato chili is going to become a fall staple at my house, I loved it that much!

If you are not a gardener, the best place to look for green tomatoes is the farmers market.  Yes, the grocery store has them, but they tend to charge more for them as a specialty item.  Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Black Bean Tostadas

Posted on November 6, 2021 | Leave a comment

Sweet Potato Black Bean Tostadas by Alison's AllspiceI had 2 sweet potato plants in my garden this summer and I finally harvested them yesterday. It’s sad to see the garden finally be done for the season, but it is exciting to have a great sweet potato harvest this year to use in my sweet potato black bean tostadas!

I absolutely adore sweet potatoes in spicy dishes.  The sweet and the heat are made for each other!  In this dish I use red pepper flake to add plenty of kick. Continue reading →

Cherry Tomato Stewed Butter Beans over Toast

Posted on September 18, 2021 | Leave a comment

Cherry Tomato Stewed Butter Beans over Toast by Alison's AllspiceAt 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

Grilled Portabella and Lentil Spaghetti by Alison's AllspiceThat 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 →

Sweet Potato Coconut Curry

Posted on April 17, 2021 | Leave a comment

Sweet Potato Coconut Curry by Alison's AllspiceA 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 →
