Easy Southwest Chopped Salad

Easy Southwest Chopped Salad by Alison's AllspiceI started making this easy southwest chopped salad for lunches last summer and it is still a favorite.  Although this salad requires a little chopping, I still consider it easy because I almost always have all the ingredients on hand.

Having a well stocked pantry makes it easy to whip up a good lunch without much pre-thought.  I use canned black beans, frozen corn, jarred jalapenos, bagged tortilla chips, hot sauce and bottled ranch.  I always have cabbage and onions in the fridge.  Therefore the greens are ususally the only thing I need to put on the grocery list!

Smoky Cabbage Soup

Smoky Cabbage Soup by Alison's AllspiceFirst of all, I love green cabbage.  It is sweet and crunchy and goes with everything.  Second, I love a warming bowl of soup during the winter.  Combined, that makes this smoky cabbage soup my new favorite comfort food!

I have read about cabbage soup and kind-of thought it would just be another vegetable soup.  Well, not in my kitchen!  I amped up the flavors in so many ways because I wanted to make this soup a little different. Continue reading

Gyro Tofu Sliders with Tzatziki Slaw

Gyro Tofu Sliders with Tzatziki Slaw by Alison's AllspiceI have done it again.  All things gyro!  This time, I made gyro tofu sliders with tzatziki slaw.  The tofu was pan fried so it was nice and crispy on the outside, just the way I like it!

The first time I tried this recipe, I was using up leftovers from the fridge.  I had just made my favorite gyro recipe, these tempeh gyro tacos, and I was inspired to try the marinade with some leftover tofu. Continue reading

Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw

Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw by Alison's AllspiceA few months ago, I developed an easy homemade mole sauce recipe.  Most of the time I think of meat based dishes when I think of mole sauce.  Therefore, I have been playing with the sauce finding good vegetarian uses, like these mole black bean tostadas with slaw!

If you missed it, the first mole sauce recipe I posted was the mole jackfruit street tacos.  This recipe is moist and delicious, but I thought it was lacking protein. Therefore, I started working with mole and black beans. Continue reading

Kimchi Fried Rice with Peas and Cabbage

Kimchi Fried Rice with Peas and Cabbage by Alison's AllspiceAfter the photo shoot for this kimchi fried rice with peas and cabbage was finished, I started nomming like normal.  Then, I realized I forgot to photograph piercing the egg (a classic sunny side up egg shot).  I looked down at my bowl, and thought, 3/4 gone is actually a pretty good shot to see what it really looks like.

Did I go back to the studio and capture it?  No. It was too good to stop eating!  It was everything I could do to savory every bite instead of inhaling it in two seconds. Continue reading

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

Burmese Pickled Ginger and Fried Garlic Salad

Burmese Pickled Ginger and Fried Garlic Salad by Alison's AllspiceSometimes you see a recipe that is so intriguing and different, that you just have to try it!  That was me when I saw a recipe for Burmese ginger salad.  I put my own twists on it and called my version a Burmese pickled ginger and fried garlic salad!

The dressing on this salad is made with fish sauce, and it is really the star of this dish!  I primarily eat vegetarian, so sorry to my vegetarian readers, but this recipe was just not the same without the fish sauce! Continue reading
