Mango Madness Wheat Berry Salad

This salad invention was the result of one sweet, juicy mango that simply inspired me.  My kids adore mangos.  As a fun snack, they typically eat the mangos right off the skin (see photo).  I had to hide this one so that it actually made it to the salad! To easily cube the mango, slice…

Bread baking may not be an every day event, but it can be a fun weekend project with delicious rewards. This recipe delivers a gorgeous, crusty loaf with a tender crumb and makes great French toast too!   Earlier this week, I saw a friend’s photo of a piece of crusty peasant bread with a…

Thanks to their light and fluffy texture and low-carb appeal, even those who don’t care for cottage cheese adore Kathleen’s Cottage Pancakes!      High protein and low carb are typically not the words I associate with pancakes, but this recipe shakes things up a bit!   A friend of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen passed…

Beef Vermicelli Lettuce Wraps

This dish has it all…crunchy veggies, savory protein, satisfying noodles, and a flavorful sauce which provides exceptional flavor. Of course, there’s the fun factor, too: Roll it all up in a big lettuce leaf and grab a napkin. A thin, vermicelli rice noodle is traditional in this type of recipe. Sometimes, I mix it up…

Kale Salad with Peanut Dressing

Addiction, obsessions…call them what you may. I have several of them pertaining to food, some of them more virtuous than others. Kale is one of the virtuous ones. (Most of the non-virtuous ones pertain to ice cream and chocolate, and I have much to say about them at a later date.) My family has eaten…

Breakfast

Quick, Night Before Steel Cut Oatmeal Prep (2 ways)

  How do I cook steel cut oats faster? Despite the cooking time a package of steel cut oats recommends–15 to 20 minutes, or longer for creamier oatmeal–a warm, satisfying bowl of hearty oatmeal can be ready far sooner.  Steel cut oats will cook in 7-8 minutes–or in as much time as it takes the…

This is a radish like no other. Slicing into one reveals something that looks just like a watermelon. Alas, the name: the watermelon radish! A hearty cold-weather crop, they are available throughout the winter months. Sweet, crisp and beautiful, they are perfect to snack on and make a special side on a dinner plate, requiring…

Here are some helpful hints: * Oil rimmed baking sheet well and cut vegetables into approximately 1-inch chunks. * LIGHTLY coat veggies…

Basic Marinara

Years ago, I was inspired by a recipe in Cooking Light magazine that offered a basic marinara sauce and suggestions on how to use the sauce well beyond spaghetti. I absolutely love a recipe I can stretch into several meals, and I often cook that way. Many nights I wouldn’t get dinner on the table…
