Recipes and cooking commentary with a touch of humor.

Welcome to lizzycooks!

I love to cook. I collect recipes and cookbooks, enjoy food photography, and adore trying new restaurants. All of this food love inspired me to start this blog where I share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and other fun stuff. Enjoy your food!

Allspice Substitute

What is allspice you ask?  Today, it was an ingredient I needed, but didn't have, in my quite awesome spice collection.  So, I headed to the Google machine to find a substitute.  Could I have gone to the grocery store to buy some allspice?  Yes.  Did I feel like going to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon?  No.

Contained in this short blog post is what I found:

Equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves.  Yep, that's it.

Unless of course you favor one of these 3 spices over the other...then just play with the amounts to suit yourself.  There you go!
