Latest Recipes
Chickpea Curry with Sweet Potatoes
Chickpeas and a hearty dose of veggies are bathed in a warmly spiced, creamy sauce for a flexible, filling, plant-based meal. Pad Thai may hold the title for Thailand’s most famous dish, but curries certainly rank high. The following plant-based dish is simple to make and bursting with traditional flavor. And while delicious as is,…
Roasted or Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
A simple, 3-ingredient marinade heightens mushrooms’ natural umami for a super satisfying side dish that can be roasted or grilled. Great as a burger or vegan entree too! For years, my dad avoided mushrooms, claiming they were “tasteless.” In their raw form, I’ll let this statement slide. After all, uncooked mushrooms are over 90% water…
Toll House Pie
Everything you love about a chocolate chip cookie but in pie form, this irresistible dessert is a breeze to make and always a hit! This pie dates back to when my boys, now in their twenties, were toddlers and we’d often get together with friends and their kids for casual weekend dinners. The kids would…
Egg White Muffins
A filling, wholesome, grab-and-go breakfast, egg white muffins are protein-rich, reheat well, and freezer friendly. Plus, there are options to use the whole egg, vary the add-ins, and customize for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. I’m the sort of person who likes to know what I’ll be eating for breakfast before I go to…
Winter Soups
(Slow Cooker) Ginger Curry Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes
Easy to make and deeply satisfying, a simple adjustment makes this soul-warming soup vegan-friendly. A few weeks into my son John’s first semester at college, a friend asked him to sign a Meatless Monday pledge. He figured one day a week without meat wouldn’t be too hard, so he put pen to paper. Several…
Chicken, Butternut Squash and White Bean Soup
After 12 fabulous years, I recently said farewell to the only car my almost 12-year-old son ever knew. Even my 15-year-old son hardly remembered the car that preceded this one, but after sinking progressively more money into it, the time had come. I had no idea what sort of car I wanted next, and we…
5-Can Weeknight Chili
A great bowl of chili is just minutes away thanks to a handful of economical pantry ingredients. Top with a simple sprinkle of cheese or load it up with chopped avocado, crushed tortilla chips, minced onions, etc. The wee hours of Christmas morning last year found my extended family in an airport.…
Easy Cauliflower Soup
Made with only a few ingredients, this soup is easy, satiating, and adaptable to most any taste, allergy, or preference! When I was growing up, my mom would make me soup if I wasn’t feeling well. We weren’t above chicken noodle from a can, but sometimes she would make her own concoction. The following…
St. Patty’s Day Favorites
Slow Cooker Corned Beef & Cabbage Soup
All the flavor of the classic Irish dish in soul-warming soup form. Easy, satisfying, and leftovers are a treat! I was jinxed! The very same day a friend asked me if I had ever made something that flat-out flopped, it happened. Usually, my kitchen disasters hinge on my general clumsiness, like dropped salad bowls…
Brown Soda Bread with Steel Cut Oats
Hearty, wholesome bread has never been so easy, thanks to this yeast-free, no-knead recipe. The finished loaf slices beautifully and tastes great! When I experiment with recipes, I am never 100% sure how they will turn out. Sometimes, a new recipe takes repeated tries, especially in the baking department. I aim to limit white flour…
Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
A golden crust is the magic that happens when a clever baking method meets olive oil and Parmesan cheese in this versatile recipe that takes five minutes to prep. When I think of St. Patrick ‘s Day, I think of Leprechauns, four leaf clovers, and wearing green. I also think back to elementary school…
5-Ingredient Tropical Green Smoothie
I was skeptical. I purchase fresh spinach in a 5-ounce box, and the thought of putting all of it into a single smoothie recipe seemed…well…excessive. But in the name of helping a friend, I gamely tried this recipe. Ally Phillips, cookbook author, blogger, and longtime friend in food, was looking for a little assistance as…
Breakfast Recipes
Amish Baked Oatmeal
This wholesome family favorite can be prepared in advance and tastes a lot like a cinnamon oatmeal cookie. I typically take a minimalist approach, but the recipe is easy to customize through the addition of raisins, nuts, etc. Twenty years ago, when baked oatmeal was hardly a blip on anyone’s breakfast radar, a friend…
Make-Ahead Granola Parfaits
This slightly different preparation yields surprisingly delicious results. Consider preparing several at one time, as the parfaits will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. Preferring my granola crunchy, I was skeptical the first time I tried this. After resting in the fridge overnight, I was pretty sure the granola…
Avocado Toast with Salmon and Turmeric Egg
Crispy edges and the flavor of turmeric take a fried egg to a whole new level. When used as a topper for crunchy toast that’s been layered with creamy avocado and smoked salmon, the result is an easy meal with gourmet appeal and staying power. Traditionally, we think of eggs as breakfast food. If…
Sausage & Egg Casserole
This tried-and-true casserole can be prepared in advance and is perfect for holidays and special brunches. A smaller batch option follows the main recipe and is ideal for more intimate gatherings and the occasional breakfast for dinner! In the years before The Fountain Avenue Kitchen came to be, this recipe was one of the…

It feels practical, patient-centered, and the approach to healthcare that we all deserve. But is functional medicine the all-encompassing solution it promises to be? Following is an overview of functional medicine along with the pros and cons of buying into it. Functional medicine has become more and more popular over the past decade. This is…
Food Rules
Fed up with all the food-related do’s and don’t’s? If you’re ready to throw in the food rules towel, there are things to consider first. Have you noticed that restaurants have become more highly attuned to people’s dietary needs than ever before? Many menus are pre-printed with dietary icons ranging from nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan…
Drinking Liquids with Meals: Fair or Foul?
As if there aren’t enough food guidelines to follow! Do we need to manage when and how we drink our liquids too? This quick read will help set the record straight as to whether it’s “fair or foul” to drink at mealtime. Have you ever been to a Philadelphia Phillies game? If so, the Jumbotron…
Can Magnesium Improve Sleep?
We’ve all heard how important a good night’s sleep is for our health, and everyone has an opinion on how to catch those Zzz’s. Many swear by magnesium supplements, but do they work, or will they cause more harm than good? One of my favorite comedians these days is Taylor Tomlinson. She’s a young, witty,…
