Healthy Greek Yogurt Ranch

Posted on January 13, 2024 | Leave a comment

Healthy Greek Yogurt Ranch by Alison's AllspiceThis healthy Greek yogurt ranch is better than bottled ranch for a wide variety of reasons. First of all, it tastes better! The yogurt and fresh lemon juice add tang that you would expect from a traditional buttermilk ranch and the fresh herbs have a distinctly bright flavor that you will never get in a bottle. 

Beyond the amazing flavor, this recipe is very easy to make. Simply mix together all the ingredients! I almost always have a tub of Greek yogurt in the fridge, so if you are the same then all you need are the herbs.  Continue reading →

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 →

Roasted Beet and Chickpea Salad

Posted on February 5, 2022 | Leave a comment

Roasted Beet and Chickpea Salad by Alison's AllspiceI have not always liked beets.  I think the first few times I had beets as an adult, their flavor was misrepresented as being all-together earthy and bitter.  Yes, beets can be earthy, and sometimes bitter, but they can also be subtley sweet and almost floral.  If you work with those flavors properly, you can make beets taste great.   Roasting beets is one way to bring out their sweetness, like in today’s recipe, roasted beet and chickpea salad.

Salmon and Potato Au Gratin

Posted on December 12, 2021 | Leave a comment

Salmon and Potato Au Gratin by Alison's Allspice My husband and I celebrated our first dating anniversary (many moons ago) at this little Scandinavian café at a vineyard that had a limited menu.  We both adore fish and tried the fish au gratin and fell in love with the dish!  Today I make salmon and potato au gratin at home for special occasions.

Au gratin is a special occasion dish as it is very rich, loaded with milk and cheese.  It is perfect for indulgent meals that you want to celebrate, including the holidays!  I have made it with both 2% milk and whole milk, and both work, but the whole milk is just a bit richer. Continue reading →

Roasted Asparagus with Creamy Dill Sauce

Posted on May 1, 2021 | Leave a comment

Roasted Asparagus with Creamy Dill Sauce by Alison's AllspiceFriends, can you beleive that this is the first time I have tried roasting asparagus?!? Me either.  Grilling it is usually my go-to method.  One night when it was raining, I decided against grilling so I tried this roasted asparagus with creamy dill sauce.

If you are an asparagus fan like me, you will come back to this recipe time and time again.  I have made it three times already this season and cannot get enough! Continue reading →

Tzatziki Pasta Salad with Chickpeas

Posted on October 10, 2020 | 3 comments

Tzatziki Pasta Salad with Chickpeas by Alison's AllspiceIf you are like me, you still have some summer garden produce lingering that needs to be used.  Even though it is October, I still have garden cucumbers and tomatoes that are delicious in this tzatziki pasta salad with chickpeas.

Has anyone else had a busy fall?  I feel like I am so far behind on all my projects, including blog posts.  I had extra time at the end of summer to photograph some delicious recipes, and now they are finally making it onto the blog when the produce is almost out of season.  Better late than never I suppose.

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout

Posted on June 27, 2020 | Leave a comment

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout by Alison's AllspiceIn the recent months I have been cleaning out the freezer.  Therefore, I have been eating a lot of trout, and loving every bite!  I adapted this feta and dill crusted trout recipe from another favorite trout recipe, Dijon crusted trout.

Adding a crunchy topping to fish makes it feel like something else entirely.  I guess thats why fish sticks were/are so common.  If you don’t care for the texture of fish, try it topped with panko and seasonings! Continue reading →

Lemon Dill Orzo with Snap Peas

Posted on June 3, 2020 | 2 comments

Lemon Dill Orzo with Snap Peas by Alison's AllspiceWho else could eat pasta all day?  Hand raised here.  Pasta makes a simple and easy meal that can be done in soooo many different ways.  For example, my lemon dill orzo with snap peas is made in a single pot with minimal prep!

Recently, I read about how whole wheat orzo has three times as much fiber as brown rice, and twice as much protein!  I love to use whole grains in my cooking, and this justifies my love for pasta! Continue reading →

Lemon Dill Zucchini Fritters with Yogurt Sauce

Posted on August 5, 2019 | 2 comments

Lemon Dill Zucchini Fritters with Yogurt Sauce ny Alison's Allspice I ate these lemon dill zucchini fritters with yogurt sauce for dinner last week.  It was one of those nights that I just didn’t want to make anything else.  But that’s how I roll.

I’m an entree girl, very seldom do I make a main and side dish.  That’s why all my veggie burger recipes make 4, because I eat 2 for dinner!  Also, egg rolls.  I eat them as an entree as well.  It’s tasty.  Why not? Continue reading →
