This recipe is written to make only 4 servings and be baked in a small 8×6 inch baking pan, or an 8 inch round cake pan. That being said, there are plenty of reasons to double the recipe!  Continue reading

Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches

Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches by Alison's AllspiceFriends, it has been a busy fall as usual (busy but good), and I have not been posting as often as I like to. Today I have a great fall recipe for you to try, purple sweet potato and kale mini crustless quiches, and there will be many more recipes coming once winter break has started! 

So, more about quiches! 

Quiches are supposed to be more custard-like than a fritatta or egg bake because they have more dairy in them.  I love adding cottage cheese for a portion of my dairy because it adds a boost of protein.  The little chunks also create air pockets when baking, so this recipe will yield a light and fluffy quiche.  Continue reading

Savory Fajita Steel Cut Oats

Savory Fajita Steel Cut Oats by Alison's AllspiceI have long read about savory oats, but it took me a long time to try them.  I was going through all the grains stashed in the back of the pantry, deciding what needed to be used first.  The steel cut oats were on the top of the list, and thus I made savory fajita steel cut oats!

The steel cut oats have a creamy texture in comparison to making a grain bowl with rice or quinoa.  Think of it like a polenta bowl instead, but made with wholesome oats. Continue reading

Pepper and Onion Naan Breakfast Pizza

Pepper and Onion Naan Breakfast Pizza by Alison's AllspiceBreakfast pizza has long been a favorite food of mine.  I don’t make it very much, however, because it’s usually not very healthy, and it isn’t traditionally fast.  This pepper and onion naan breakfast pizza is healthier, as well as quick and easy!
