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

Miso Butternut Squash and Spinach Spaghetti Pie

Miso Butternut Squash and Spinach Spaghetti Pie by Alison's AllspiceWho else thinks that pasta is comfort food?  I can eat pasta all day, and this miso butternut squash and spinach spaghetti pie hits the top of the list!  Why?  This recipe has a few things that other pasta bakes do not.

A spaghetti pie is unique because it is bound together by egg, just enough that the strands stick together making cutable wedges.  Most bakes fall part upon serving, or have loads of cheese holding them together. 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

Gluten Free Zucchini Tots

Gluten Free Zucchini Tots by Alison's AllspiceHappy New Year everyone!  Today I am having a flash back to the summer months when I had so many zucchini that I didn’t know what to do with them all.  These gluten free zucchini tots were a staple during summer, and area a great way to start the new year!

Soft Zucchini Taco Shells

Soft Zucchini Taco Shells by Alison's AllspiceMy husband has said hands down, this soft zucchini taco shells recipe is his favorite way to enjoy the gluttony of zucchini that has come out of our garden this summer.  It might be a good way to sneak some veggies in for picky eaters too!

What make this recipe a taco shell and not just a tortilla?  Masa harina is the flour used to make corn tortillas, the base for most authentic tacos.  I use it here to give these tortillas the flavor of a corn tortilla, and help bind the zucchini together. Continue reading

Veggie Breakfast Quesadilla

Veggie Breakfast Quesadilla by Alison's AllspiceMexican food is my aboslute favortie cuisine, so I figured, why not have it for breakfast?  This veggie breakfast quesadilla is loaded with scrambled eggs, diced veggies, and cheddar cheese!

Honestly, this recipe is so simple and quick, you could make it for a speedy weeknight dinner, or easy on-the-go lunch as well.  It doesn’t even really have the “breakfast for dinner” vibe like when you have pancakes for dinner. Continue reading

Spicy Vegetarian Chipotle Quinoa Sliders

Spicy Vegetarian Chipotle Quinoa Sliders by Alison's AllspiceHow many times have you adapted a favorite recipe to make it meatless?  For vegetarians, this is a common practice. I adapted these spicy vegetarian chipotle quinoa sliders from my chipolte fish sliders recipe.

I identify as a pescatarian.  In other words, a vegetarian who still eats fish.  I post 90% vegetarian recipes, therefore, I attract more meatless-eaters with my recipes than fish-eaters. Continue reading

Vegetarian Quinoa Pizza Burgers

Vegetarian Quinoa Pizza Burgers by Alison's AllspiceFor me, veggie burgers don’t necessarily need to taste like a burger.  Instead, they can be a delivery system for fun flavors. Like these Jamacian Jerk Plantain Burgers, or these Moroccan Carrot Veggie Burgers, or today’s recipe for vegetarian quinoa pizza burgers.

I think one of the best ways to get great flavor in something like a veggie burger is to load it up with different seasonings.  Make it complicated for your taste buds to figure everything out, and you will likely enjoy the flavors more. Continue reading
