Almond Flour Pie Crust (gluten-free)
A scrumptious grain-free pie crust is easy to make with this recipe and a few helpful hints. Perfect for all your favorite fillings! The perfect pie deserves the perfect crust.

Roasted Root Veggie Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette
The easy vinaigrette is key to memorable flavor in this endlessly adaptable, jewel-toned salad. A favorite protein makes it a complete meal.

Secret Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie
A happy fusion of a fudgy brownie and the perfect peanut butter cookie, this grain-free dessert can be dairy-free with the use of dairy-free chocolate chips. When I purchase a new product, I often look to see if there’s a recipe on the package. Until I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, I never thought…
Overnight Buckwheat Groats — a crunchy, delicious option to oats
If you happen to be a fan of the ever-versatile, no-cook overnight oatmeal, you must try this novel twist. (And if you haven’t ventured into the easy breakfast world of overnight oats, I have several recipes for you!) For those who enjoy steel cut oats, buckwheat groats are quite similar in taste. In raw form,…
Cauliflower Fried Rice
If only a photo could convey flavor! At first glance, this hearty and healthy meal may not seem particularly fabulous. That said, I’ve served it many times for family and friends (and have even used it for several school cooking demonstrations), and it’s always a major crowdpleaser! As a child, cauliflower was…
Spooky Spaghetti Stuffed Peppers
A kid-friendly meal that adults love too. Carving the bell peppers can be part of the fun! It’s dinnertime. You have leftover spaghetti but not enough to feed the family. What to do?

What are Buckwheat Groats…and what do you do with them?
What is this nutritional powerhouse and how do you use it? Despite what its name suggests, buckwheat is not related to wheat. (And though it seems counter-intutitive, it’s gluten-free.) Not a grass like regular wheat, buckwheat is more closely related to rhubarb. Buckwheat is a nutritional powerhouse that is a central component of Eastern European…
Homemade Bisquick Mix
My husband loves to make pancakes, and he’s a Bisquick kind of a guy. We really enjoy the 100% whole wheat and almond flour versions I often make, but I have to agree. His Bisquick pancakes hit the spot. Sometimes, there’s good reason to make a do-it-yourself version of a favorite store-bought product. Better price,…
Gladys Langford’s Apple Cake
On occasion in this space, I have mentioned the inspiration for The Fountain Avenue Kitchen–my maternal grandmother, Gladys Langford. Amazing aromas continuously wafted from her narrow kitchen, but it was her spunk and zest for life that made people want to sit down in that cozy space and stay a while. Day in and day…
Pumpkin Ginger Cookies
The addition of pumpkin supplies moisture and enhances the spices in this otherwise traditional (and utterly delicious!) ginger-molasses cookie. A few weeks ago, I bumped into a friend and walked away with a bag of egg replacer in my hands. If this sounds a little strange, read on… Phil Lapp and his wife, Laura, are…
Whole-Can-of-Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Last fall, a friend mentioned that when she uses part of a can of pumpkin, the leftover portion always seems to go bad before she gets a chance to finish it. To avoid this problem, feel free to click on the link to my Pumpkin Roundup, below. But also consider giving the following recipe a…
Caprese Style Baked Eggs
This protein-rich meal is delicious any time of day and can be enjoyed straight from the baking dish or piled on a piece of crunchy toast. “Caprese” refers to something that comes from or is in the style of Capri, an Italian island off the coast of Italy near Naples. Insalata Caprese, or Caprese Salad,…
