Roasted Tomatoes with Whipped Feta…and some kitchen experimenting
My sister is an artist. At a very young age, she stunned everyone with an amazingly accurate sketch of a horse. Eventually, she became a painting major at Rhode Island School of Design. I always joked that she got all the artistic abilities and I got none! As I grew older, I realized that my…
Curried Chicken Rice Salad
A few key ingredients join the usual chicken salad components for a filling meal that hits all the right flavor notes. Someone recently sent me one of her favorite recipes and mentioned that I hope she didn’t think she was being presumptuous. I told her I love it when readers send me their top…
Potato Crusted Salmon
My T-Fal cookware giveaway began yesterday. In conjunction with that giveaway, I was asked to review the Cooking Planit app. I joke with my kids that I am “under-app-ed.” That is my made-up term meaning that I hardly have any apps and the ones I have I rarely use! I know…I should get with the program! I…
Zucchini, Potato, and Feta Frittata
A light but filling meatless meal that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this easy frittata is loaded with veggies and can be made ahead and reheated for added convenience. It isn’t often that a meatless meal will satisfy my houseful of boys, but the potato in this simple frittata lends a satisfying heartiness while…
Easiest Marinated Grilled Veggies
Equal parts of 3 basic ingredients create a flavorful marinade that can be used in so many ways. So easy you can memorize it! These colorful grilled veggies are a regular here. Alongside the classic grilled steak, barbecued chicken, pork or seafood, they are truly the only side you need…and as easy as they are flavorful…
Chocolate Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”
Those who know me are keenly aware of my fondness for ice cream! (I actually have some very funny stories that center around this beloved frozen treat…will have to get into that later!) Anyway, to satisfy my nightly cravings, I have developed a pretty fabulous chocolate smoothie but am always on the lookout for other…
Salmon, Corn, and Cucumber Salad
Corn and Cucumber Salad with Basil and Chives is one of the oldest salads in my repertoire. I return to it again and again for its delicious simplicity. Because the recipe is so basic, it lends itself well to easy adaptations. With Corn, Cucumber and Avocado Salad with Homemade Ranch, I added avocado, tomatoes, and my go-to…
Italian Hoagie Salad
A reader-favorite (and reader-created!) recipe, this satisfying pasta salad was inspired by the classic sandwich and is a tried-and-true crowdpleaser. Easy to make too! It is always a joy to receive recipes from those who read my newspaper column or blog. When readers send me their family favorites, I am always happy to cook them…
Nutella Pops
A cold, creamy treat that’s easy to make, Nutella Pops remind me of the classic chocolate pudding pops that were so popular when I was a girl! Do you remember Pudding Pops? In the 1980s, Bill Cosby was the spokesman for this popular frozen treat. The chocolate version was similar to a creamy fudgesicle,…
Deconstructed Eggplant Parmesan
Two reader-favorite recipes come together to form a delicious twist on classic eggplant Parmesan where the eggplant stays crispy! This recipe was born from a desire to keep the eggplant in the classic eggplant Parmesan crispy. It is also a perfect marriage of two much-loved seasonal recipes: a quick and easy cherry tomato…
Zucchini Pizza Casserole
This family-friendly meal is a deliciously clever way to use an abundance of zucchini. Naturally gluten- and grain-free too! Fresh herbs and zucchini are currently overflowing from our garden. The kale, chard, and spinach will make a comeback as cooler weather returns. So, for the next recipe in my Sargento flavor journey, I…
Zucchini, Tomato and Sausage Casserole
Don’t you love it when a friend shares a time-tested, family-favorite recipe? This one contains everything you need for a well rounded meal and quickly became a quick favorite in our house too! Stacie is a friend of my husband’s from elementary school days with whom we reconnected when I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen.…
