Vegetarian Meatballs (also known as neatballs!)
Since I started writing The Fountain Avenue Kitchen newspaper column and blog, I have had the privilege of meeting some truly fascinating people. I’m not referring to big name chefs or foodies either. I am talking about real people, just like you and me, who have some very interesting stories to tell. All of the…
Overnight Lasagna (Turkey and Greens with Options)
If you prefer a saucy lasagna with a light ricotta layer, this recipe is for you. Plus, there’s no need to precook the noodles and the recipe makes one for now, one for later—or one to share with a friend! I love a good lasagna, but it always seems like a big production. I hit…
Crispy Parmesan Flounder
Simple ingredients come together in a snap in this mild but flavorful fish entree the whole family will enjoy! I think most of us are thrilled to discover a new fast and easy recipe that tastes great, right? The following fish dish is a busy night favorite in our house. The three-ingredient topping can…
Quinoa, Beet, and Arugula Salad
Recently, after reading a post about quinoa on The Fountain Avenue Kitchen Facebook page, a thoughtful friend emailed me the following recipe. Her only comment: “THIS RECIPE IS DELICIOUS!” I wholeheartedly agree. I first made this salad shortly after receiving the recipe and was delighted by the combination of flavors and how a few simple…
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Five minutes of prep reward you with a hearty, nourishing, grab-and-go breakfast that’s brimming with pumpkin and warm spices! If I counted how many times I started my day with overnight no-cook oatmeal cups, well….let’s just say it would be a very big number! I love to quickly whip up a jarful (or several)…
Sheila’s Beet Cake
When I posted a pretty picture of fresh beets on my Fountain Avenue Kitchen Facebook page, I was amazed by the reaction. (Click on this link to read all the wonderful comments.) I always think of beets as a love-them-or-hate-them food. You’re either all in or all out! Well, readers that day were in deep.…
Apple Crisp Baked Oatmeal
By now, my love of baked oatmeal has been well established. Truth be told, I hold back some of my variations because I don’t want to over-oatmeal people. I think the time has come, however, to release another! My sister-in-law, Melissa, is to thank for this delicious creation. She is a nurse who leaves…
Coconut Pumpkin Granola
Pumpkin works as a tasty replacement for a portion of the sugar and oil in this crunchy granola, which offers just the right notes of sugar and spice! My go-to granola recipe is such a favorite, it takes a pretty terrific option for me to stray from my old standby. But as fall rolls…
Polenta Crust Pizza Pie
Ok…so first thing is first! What is the difference between polenta and cornmeal…and grits for that matter? In case you are wondering what to buy, or whether it matters, I am including an overview below that might prove helpful. When I began the Flavor Trend Journey with Sargento Cheese and Rick Bayless last winter, Rick…
Cheesy Grilled Pulled Pork (or Chicken) Sandwiches
There is nothing I love more than turning leftovers into something new and delicious. Sometimes, it enables us to get dinner on the table when we otherwise wouldn’t. Beyond providing time savings, repurposing leftovers saves precious dollars. For this casual but yummy dinner, I started with the remains of the pulled pork barbecue I cooked…
Beet Salad with Walnuts and Goat Cheese
When I was a kid and my mom served beets, I was not a happy camper. I can remember, however, going to a restaurant in Virginia as a newlywed and, for some reason, being inspired to order a beet salad. That salad completely reversed my previous stance on beets and was a recipe I felt…
