Pancetta, Kale, and Parmesan Frittata
Frittatas are quick, easy, and a simple salad or cooked vegetable turns them into a well-rounded meal. Or serve this filling, flavorful recipe with a side of fruit for a lovely breakfast or brunch. Frittatas truly are fast food. A quick saute, five minutes in the oven, and you have a great meal. Frittatas are…
Kathleen’s Low-Carb Cottage Pancakes
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…
Slow Cooker Turkey Tenderloin with Wild Rice and Butternut Squash
Hearty, wholesome, and hands off, this all-in-one slow cooker meal is perfect comfort food throughout the colder months. Out of the crock pot and onto the plate. Dinner tonight was as easy as it was delicious. It had everything in it – juicy, tender turkey for filling protein, wild rice for high-quality carbs, colorful…
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…
The Watermelon Radish
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…
Roasted Veggies
Roasted vegetables are very popular in our house. This was the rainbow of colors that went into the oven last night. In my mind, roasting vegetables is not a recipe but a technique. 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…
Sausage, Pepper and 2-Cheese Pizza
One cup of Saturday’s Basic Marinara Sauce, some colorful veggies, and a little sausage make for tasty pizza toppings. A store-bought whole wheat thin crust makes for dinner in a flash. Why take out when you can have this? Hint #1: I like to put the toppings directly on the sauce then sprinkle the cheese…
Crispy Prosciutto Topped Salad with 2-Ingredient Dressing
This salad dressing sounds a little crazy. Yet the strange combination of two basic ingredients really works, providing a sweet/tangy edge to a simple mixture of fresh greens. A few well chosen add-ins really make this salad shine. Everything can be prepped ahead and tossed at the very last minute. Perfect paired with a protein…
Baked Fusilli with Asiago
This is the last–for a little while, anyway–in my string of recipes using Basic Marinara Sauce. (Another delicious and easy dinner using a portion of this sauce is Sausage, Pepper and 2-Cheese Pizza.) The following baked pasta dish is unique in that the meat does not have to be sauteed prior to mixing with the pasta. The…
Broccoli and Prosciutto 3-Cheese Personal Pizza
This pizza tastes as terrific as it looks and you just might be fooled at how easy it is! We are big fans of grilled pizza with homemade dough, but shortcuts can also produce amazing results. Start with a whole wheat pita, some leftover broccoli, and a few items from the deli counter and you…
