Throw Back Thursday — Strawberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal…and Happy Spring!
Recently, I began to dig into the archives of this blog for a special “Throw Back Thursday” meal each week on The Fountain Avenue Kitchen Facebook page. Sometimes, I am so focused on sharing new recipes in this space that I neglect the old favorites. Occasionally, it is one of my kids who asks for…
Butterscotch Bread Pudding
Crispy edges, tender insides, and notes of caramel and butter take the classic bread pudding to new heights. Easy and irresistible! Last fall, I mentioned that I was all set to share a recipe for butterscotch bread pudding when a thoughtful reader emailed me the recipe for her prized beet cake. Like my chicken in…
Chicken in Milk
It may seem like an odd pairing, but the milk tenderizes the chicken while the garlic becomes soft and sweet. Lemon adds bright flavor and the whole thing smells–and tastes–divine. Even as an adult, I anticipate my Christmas stocking every year. My husband always succeeds in finding a handful of gifts that are the…
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…
O’Brien Irish Stew
This classic Irish stew was passed down from the decades old recipe box of an Irish friend. The tried-and-true recipe offers oven and slow cooker options, and the flavor improves over time, making it a great make-ahead meal. Most Americans think of stew as having a thick gravy base. But traditional Irish stew is…
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…
Chunky Homemade Granola Snack Mix
Mixing Chunky Homemade Granola with dried cranberries, cashews, and white chocolate chips makes a snack mix so incredibly delicious with the added benefits of being mostly healthy and portable. It’s a welcome lunchbox addition and a convenient on-the-go snack. My husband, a frequent flyer, thinks this mix is the perfect snack to take while traveling…no need to…
Chunky Homemade Granola
This big batch recipe makes two full baking sheets of classic, crunchy, lightly sweet granola that is delicious with yogurt, milk, fruit – or by the handful. You may cut the recipe in half, but it will keep for weeks and freezes well, too. Perfectly crunchy, not overly sweet, and loaded with chunks, this granola…
Teriyaki Salmon Wraps
Somewhere between today and tomorrow is the two year anniversary of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen. You see, my site launched on February 29th–Leap Day–of 2012. There was a teacher in my elementary school who was born on Leap Day. I remember the year he turned nine (technically, 36). None of the kids could imagine celebrating…
Yogurt Almond Flour Dutch Baby
Almond flour, Greek yogurt, and eggs form the base of this wholesome, filling, grain-free twist on the traditional Dutch baby. Did you know that February is National Pancake Month? I recently discovered this when Stonyfield Organic issued a friendly challenge to create a pancake recipe using yogurt. One of the early recipes on…
Ginger Soy Glazed Salmon
Sometimes, time just gets away from me! I have been meaning to make this recipe for months. Sonali of The Foodie Physician fame is a dear friend who happens to be a culinary-school trained ER doctor. It’s a unique skill set–one that promises a conversation with Sonali will always be fascinating. Knowing my love of salmon, Sonali…
Classic Chocolate Cake
Light, moist, and perfect for any celebration, this classic chocolate cake mixes up quickly in a single bowl with ingredients you likely have on hand. (And the gluten-free adaptation fools even the gluten-eaters!) When it comes to chocolate cake, this tried-and-true recipe is, without a doubt, the best that I have found. It has been…
