Lentil Beet Veggie Burgers by Alison's AllspiceVeggie burgers are a staple around here.  They are not the easiest recipe to perfect, however.  Let me tell you all about how I perfected this lentil beet veggie burgers recipe!

First of all, veggie burgers should not have too many carbs.  You are going to put it on a bun, afterall.  Secondly, veggie burgers should not be devoid of protein.  They are a main dish. Continue reading →

Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms

Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms by Alison's AllspiceI love lasagna, but I don’t make it often because it takes so long to make.  Well, these lasagna stuffed mushrooms have many positive qualities of lasagna, while taking much less time to make!

During summer, I like to cook these mushrooms on the grill instead of heating up the oven.  When the temperature starts to drop, like now, I enjoy having the heat of the oven in the house.  In short, either cooking method works. 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.

Zucchini Feta Rye Berry Cakes with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Posted on September 20, 2020 | Leave a comment

Zucchini Feta Rye Berry Cakes with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Alison's AllspiceThese zucchini feta rye berry cakes with roasted cherry tomatoes is by far my favorite way to make a zucchini “fritter”.  It’s really more of a cake or patty because the rye berries add so much dense chewy texture.

The cakes are delicious on their own, but the cherry tomatoes and yogurt make this something special.  The sweetness and slight acidity of the tomatoes balances the earthy, tangy notes of the rye berries while the yogurt adds a creamy luscious texture. Continue reading →

Tandoori Grilled Tofu and Vegetables by Alison's AllspiceTandoori grilled tofu and vegetables is a recipe that I wanted to try for a long time before I finally did.  I love anything grilled and the spice mix used in the sauce is gold, literally.

What is tandoori?  It is a dish that originated in India that uses a yogurt based sauce and a tandoor oven, which is heated with wood or charcoal.  I grilled mine to acheive the smokey flavor of a traditional tandoor dish. Continue reading →
