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

Asparagus Mushroom Potato Hash

Asparagus Mushroom Potato Hash by Alison's AllspiceFor all of you that love asparagus as much as I do, lets try some for breakfast!  I serve this asparagus mushroom potato hash with sunny side up eggs for a filling breakfast that is full of veggies.

How often do you eat veggies for breakfast?  Eating your vegetables at breakfast is a great way of incorporating more of them into your diet.  Veggies for breakfast is definitely something that I don’t do often enough. Continue reading

Giant Green Veggie Burgers

Giant Green Veggie Burgers by Alison's AllspiceThis month’s recipe redux theme was Movie Inspiration, because the Oscars are right around the corner!  Therefore, I chose to make giant green veggie burgers after one of my favorite movie characters, the hulk!

This recipe is a great way to sneak in extra veggies.  Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies, but not so much for my husband.  After trying these burgers, he said he never would have guessed they had broccoli in them! Continue reading

Creamy Lemon Dill Orzo Soup

Creamy Lemon Dill Orzo Soup by Alison's AllspiceThis creamy lemon dill orzo soup recipe has a surprising ingredient.  When I see creamy soup recipes, I expect to see that some form of dairy makes it creamy.  Milk, sour cream, cheese, or all of the above, for example.

Instead, this recipe uses eggs to achieve its velvety, creamy texture.  For a long time I shied away from recipes that cook eggs by tempering them in hot liquid.  It sounds scary if you’ve never done it. 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!

Have you tried naan flat breads?  I was first exposed to them as an side for curries, but they have many more uses!  I used toaster size naan (mini) in this recipe, which was perfect for a single egg! Continue reading

Buffalo Quinoa Chickpea Burgers

Buffalo Quinoa Chickpea Burgers by Alison's AllspiceWho else is ready for football playoffs?!  For me, half the fun of football is the food and drink, so this year I plan to make these buffalo quinoa chickpea burgers, topped with blue cheese!

I don’t make regular veggie burgers.  For me, vegetables don’t have the texture, or the taste that I remember in a real burger.  I still love the format, but try to make it taste like something different. Continue reading

Vegetarian Bibimbap Spaghetti Squash Bowls

Vegetarian Bibimbap Spaghetti Squash Bowls by Alison's AllspiceRecently, I have found myself in a love-hate relationship with spaghetti squash.  It is a very tasty low-carb option, but,  I don’t like it as a substitute for spaghetti noodles,  It’s just not the same for me.  Instead I use the squash is recipes like this vegetarian bibimbap spaghetti squash bowls!

When spaghetti squash is in season in fall, I try to find new ways to use it.  In the past, I have made enchilada spaghetti squash boats and pesto Parmesan spaghetti squash bowls. Continue reading

Zucchini Tomato Fritatta for One

Zucchini Tomato Fritatta for One by Alison's AllspiceI am a huge fan of eggs, but my husband is not.  Therefore, having eggs has become a treat I enjoy when I’m only cooking for myself.  This zucchini tomato fritatta for one is a perfect light summer lunch, just for me!

This spring I fell in love with this kale and potato fritatta, but it was a little too much to eat all by myself.  Summertime zucchini and tomato fill the fritatta up, but keep it light. Continue reading

Kale and Potato Frittata

Kale and Potato Frittata by Alison's AllspiceThis simple kale and potato frittata has become  standard lunch fair on Saturdays at my house.  Frittata’s are a great clean-out-the-fridge meal, but are also special enough to excite!

I love the combination of kale and potatoes in this frittata.  Potatoes make it hearty and filling, and kale adds nice color, as well as nutritional value!  Really any veggies will do, but this is my favorite, and I usually have the ingredients on hand. Continue reading
