Appetizers, Main Dishes

Apricot Ginger Shrimp Kabobs

Tender shrimp with Asian-inspired flavor is easy to prepare, quick to cook, and makes a popular appetizer or entree.    At a cookout years ago, my friend Judy dished up grilled shrimp that was absolutely delicious: light tasting and tender with just a hint of sweetness.   I jotted down the recipe, which was mayonnaise-based…

Pizzas

Pizza with Goat Cheese, Thyme & Honey Lime Chicken

Years ago, a friend who runs a local cooking school called Essen suggested topping a grilled pizza with Manouri cheese, honey, and thyme. Manouri cheese is a Greek goat’s milk cheese with which I was not  familiar at the time.  What threw me, however, was the honey. Honey on pizza?  I like to mix sweet…

Whole Grain White Chocolate Zucchini Bread

We grow zucchini in our garden and, inevitably, we end up with more than we can use.  One day, there may be two zucchini which are a bit too small to pick.  The next thing you know, there are five the size of rolling pins! I often use the extra large zucchini for baking.  While…

Honey Ginger Tomato Salad

Don’t you love it when a friend shares a favorite recipe, or when you come across an idea for a flavor combination that you had never before thought of?  Well, Beth, a friend of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, did both! The pairing of honey and ginger with the sweet tomato grapes is truly delicious, and…

Peach and Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

Loaded with whole grains and a generous dose of naturally sweet fruit, these muffins offer an easy, healthy, and decidedly delicious way to start the day!       The Black and Blueberry Oat Muffins were such a hit in our house that I made this tasty variation using peaches. This time, instead of the…

Pizzas

Garden Pesto Grilled Pizza (with a family favorite recipe for grilled pizza dough)

  A layer of pesto under some fresh mozzarrella makes a simple pizza taste extra special.   I love to use my Asiago Pesto Spread and add whatever I happen to have on hand.  In this case, it was a few dabs of leftover Summer Tomato and Leek Sauce and Parmesan Zucchini Bites. You may…

Summer Tomato and Leek Sauce

A simple, summer sauce is the perfect way to enjoy a bounty of vine-ripened tomatoes and works beautifully as a light pasta or pizza sauce or as a flavorful topping for chicken or fish. My original plan for this sauce was to use red onion, until I saw some baby leeks at market. Leeks provide…

Breakfast

Peach Swirl Baked Oatmeal

Easy to prep ahead with pantry ingredients and fresh peaches, although frozen peaches work well too. Either way, this breakfast is worth waking up for!    Baked oatmeal is such a favorite breakfast in our house, and I have fun inventing new recipes with each season. With its bounty of fresh fruit, summer affords numerous…

Baked Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Pesto

This is so easy, it hardly qualifies as a recipe.  It is so tasty, however, that I thought I should mention it!   These tomatoes are a novel twist on the traditional tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad and are another wonderful use for Asiago Pesto Spread.  You may certainly substitute your favorite pesto, purchased or…

Grilled Pesto Veggiewich

Years ago, I ate my first “veggiewich” at a restaurant and I was hooked.  Vegetables never tasted so delicious yet made such a hearty meal.  My home version incorporates my Asiago Pesto Spread, although your favorite pesto would be perfect. This time, I used leftover Balsamic Dijon Grilled Vegetables and fresh mozzarella cheese. Havarti with dill is…

Side Dishes

Balsamic Dijon Grilled Vegetables

In my book, grilled veggies are fabulous for so many reasons.  First and foremost, they taste great.  But also, they are easy to prepare and need nothing more than a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper.  However, they can be fancied up with any number of marinades and herbs.  Vegetables can be grilled in…

Sunflower Zucchini Bread (Gluten-Free with Coconut Flour)

While I typically use my tried-and-true gluten-free flour blend as a cup-for-cup stand in when baking quick breads, cakes, muffins, I have been experimenting more and more with various flours used separately, specifically, almond flour and coconut flour. Coconut flour is unique in that very little of it is required relative to other flours due…
