Sweet and savory with a hint of heat, this vibrant salsa adds flavorful appeal to fish, chicken, shrimp, tacos, pork, and grilled meats of all kinds. The origin of a recipe can be quite interesting. In 2015, my friend Justine asked if I would create an orange recipe to shine a light on something near…
Lentils replace the beans while ground turkey stands in for beef in this spin on the traditional bowl of chili. It does so with a relatively short list of ingredients and a familiar flavor profile that even my kids enjoy! With their own distinct crusts and toppings, various cities and restaurant chains lay claim…
A short list of ingredients yields delicious results in this speedy, hand-held recipe that’s easy to make and fun to eat. A delightful accompaniment to soups and salads, pizzadillas are great game-day fare, too! Thirty minute meals are convenient, but sometimes we need to crank out some seriously fast–or just plain fun–food.…
Chewy granola bar meets cookie batter in these easy-to-make bites, which include whole oats and a whopping half cup of heart-healthy flax meal. In a bold moment a few years back, I decided to give up ice cream for Lent. It was a test of sorts, as I seriously wondered if I had the discipline…
Yogurt “cheese” really isn’t cheese at all. It’s simply yogurt that has been thickened into a soft, cream cheese-like consistency…and it’s delightful on your morning bagel or in recipes calling for cream cheese or sour cream. Although I have used fat-free and 2% yogurt to make this creamy spread, I prefer whole milk yogurt for a…
Brownies with no eggs, no oil, and lots of protein… Hmmmm. Believe it or not, they taste great, too. These homemade treats are just as decadent as “regular” brownies and can be made with ingredients you likely have on hand. And if you, like me, adore a thick, chewy, moist, fudgy brownie, these have your…
A clever method of preparation means there are no lumps or scorched milk in this cozy cocoa recipe. There’s even a cafe mocha variation! Before I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, I had very little experience with photography. When I took the typical family snapshots, the camera decided how to focus and when to flash,…
Hearty greens, protein-rich edamame and chickpeas, and a handful of other ingredients combine with a light but flavor-packed vinaigrette for a wholesome salad that’s great for meal prep. A well-rounded, plant-based meal as is, a protein topper like salmon or chicken will provide extra staying power. We often think of salads as warm weather…
These tasty little bites are a sweet-and-savory spin on my classic recipe for Tamari Almonds. People often use tamari as a gluten-free option to soy sauce, but after reading the label of the bottle of tamari I had in my cupboard–and seeing wheat as an ingredient–I did a little more investigating. By way of The Kitchn, I found…
Wholesome comfort food as its best, this recipe yield is generous and is perfect for sharing, freezing, or enjoying leftovers throughout the week. As a long-lasting stomach virus worked its way through my family early last month, this soup (along with toast and ginger ale) was the only food some of us wanted to eat…
Since I stumbled upon the overwhelming hit of Crock Pot Dulce de Leche a few years ago, the kids regularly enjoy this caramel-like dip on sliced apples and we drizzle it over ice cream and pound cake. One reader loves it as a topping for Crunchy Top Apples and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal. I even concocted…
A 2-ingredient, natural sore throat remedy that’s easy to make and helpful to have on hand. Fun to give away too! In the past few months, I have read several times about the antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties of honey and cinnamon. I am certainly not a doctor, but when I saw the idea from my…
