Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie
The winning combination of peanut butter and chocolate make this ice cream pie an instant crowdpleaser. Salted cashews, a drizzle of honey and make-ahead convenience add to the allure! When I come across a recipe that is tattered and food-splattered, I know it must be good! This ice cream pie recipe is one of…
Gorgonzola Tomato Salad
Prepare this flavorful dressing ahead and you will have a delicious salad ready in a flash. Perfect as a dip or as a salsa over grilled steak or chicken, I also like using this dressing on Grilled Romaine and Prosciutto Salads. The use of Greek yogurt allows for a thick, delicious option to your favorite…
Almond Crust (Gluten-Free Pie Crust)
Graham cracker crusts can be a crunchy, delicious part of an ice cream or pudding pie. But if you are gluten-intolerant, a graham crust can make those desserts off limits. For my father’s recent birthday, I created a version he could enjoy using almond meal. I think my kids loved the nutty, crunchy crust even…
Chocolate Mascarpone Spread
The past few weeks have been fun ones in the world of food! My friend Ann from Sumptuous Spoonfuls has been working her way through the alphabet. Logically, she began with A. Each day she chooses a food that begins with a new letter and shares all sorts of recipes from fellow foodies which include…
Whole Grain White Chocolate Zucchini Bread
We grow zucchini in our garden and, inevitably, we end up with more than we can use. One day, there may be two zucchini which are a bit too small to pick. The next thing you know, there are five the size of rolling pins! I often use the extra large zucchini for baking. While…
Honey Ginger Tomato Salad
Don’t you love it when a friend shares a favorite recipe, or when you come across an idea for a flavor combination that you had never before thought of? Well, Beth, a friend of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, did both! The pairing of honey and ginger with the sweet tomato grapes is truly delicious, and…
Peach and Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
Loaded with whole grains and a generous dose of naturally sweet fruit, these muffins offer an easy, healthy, and decidedly delicious way to start the day! The Black and Blueberry Oat Muffins were such a hit in our house that I made this tasty variation using peaches. This time, instead of the…
Garden Pesto Grilled Pizza (with a family favorite recipe for grilled pizza dough)
A layer of pesto under some fresh mozzarrella makes a simple pizza taste extra special. I love to use my Asiago Pesto Spread and add whatever I happen to have on hand. In this case, it was a few dabs of leftover Summer Tomato and Leek Sauce and Parmesan Zucchini Bites. You may…
Peach Swirl Baked Oatmeal
Easy to prep ahead with pantry ingredients and fresh peaches, although frozen peaches work well too. Either way, this breakfast is worth waking up for! Baked oatmeal is such a favorite breakfast in our house, and I have fun inventing new recipes with each season. With its bounty of fresh fruit, summer affords numerous…
Baked Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Pesto
This is so easy, it hardly qualifies as a recipe. It is so tasty, however, that I thought I should mention it! These tomatoes are a novel twist on the traditional tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad and are another wonderful use for Asiago Pesto Spread. You may certainly substitute your favorite pesto, purchased or…
Grilled Pesto Veggiewich
Years ago, I ate my first “veggiewich” at a restaurant and I was hooked. Vegetables never tasted so delicious yet made such a hearty meal. My home version incorporates my Asiago Pesto Spread, although your favorite pesto would be perfect. This time, I used leftover Balsamic Dijon Grilled Vegetables and fresh mozzarella cheese. Havarti with dill is…
Balsamic Dijon Grilled Vegetables
In my book, grilled veggies are fabulous for so many reasons. First and foremost, they taste great. But also, they are easy to prepare and need nothing more than a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. However, they can be fancied up with any number of marinades and herbs. Vegetables can be grilled in…
