Cheesy Cauliflower “Flatbread”
In the past few years, cauliflower has been reinvented in so many ways. Thanks to its low carb count and subtle flavor, this healthy cruciferous vegetable has been successfully morphed into healthy-yet-creamy mashed “potatoes” and surprisingly delicious pizza crust. When my friend Sonali asked me to review her cookbook, Natural Pregnancy Cookbook, one of the first things…
Loaded Baked Potato Frittata
Fashioned after a favorite side dish, this frittata is deliciously satisfying unadorned, although the bell pepper “shamrocks” add a whimsical nod to St. Patrick’s Day. ☘️ Kids are sometimes faulted for playing with their food. Even as an adult, I canโt always resist the temptation. I havenโt conducted any scientific studies, but Iโm pretty…
Checkerboard Potatoes
A few simple ingredients come together with ease in this visually appealing side dish thatโs equal parts fun and delicious! Coming up with a crowd-pleasing entree every night of the week can be challenging. As a result, side dishes donโt always get the attention they deserve. After mixing a marinade for a side of…
4-Ingredient Low-Carb Cloud Bread
Use these unconventional but tasty rolls for hamburgers, breakfast sandwiches, and the classic ham and cheese. Lightly toasting the rolls and topping with peanut butter and jam is a very good option, too. Sometimes, I post photos of in-the-works recipes on Instagram or Facebook. If I want to do some trouble-shooting or tweaking, I…
Build-Your-Own Veggie and Grain Salad
It’s January. ย The weather is cold (at least it is here!) and the holiday festivities are behind us. Eating well can be a challenge when the mercury plummets, colds and flus rear their ugly heads, and warm sunshine and flip flops seem a long way off. Of course, all of this makes heavy comfort foods…
Easy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole
When I began my little Fountain Avenue Kitchen adventure four years ago, I hadnโt the slightest idea where it would take me. I had never posted anything on social media, didnโt own a real camera, and didnโt follow a single blog. In fact, I was reluctant to call my website a blog because, to me,…
Greek Chicken Meatballs
Nutrient-rich and flavorful, these versatile baked meatballs work well with ground turkey and freeze well too. People often ask me when Iโm going to write a cookbook. Although I have plenty of recipes, I havenโt quite figured out how to pull off a book. My friend, Sonali, has written three cookbooks and has another on…
Greek Pastitsio
My make-at-home version of this classic Greek dish, which is often compared to lasagna, is lighter than the traditional recipe yet still packed with flavor. A family favorite for sure. November is bookended by two incredible feasts. Thanksgiving is the obvious end-of-month celebration, but if you live in my hometown of Lancaster, you may very…
Crispy Black Bean Skillet Tacos
Pantry and fridge staples come together in a flash for these crispy meatless tacos that are deliciously filling and economical too. You know the feeling. You get home late from work, a meeting, or kids’ sporting events. Everyone is hungry, no food has been prepared, and you just want to eat…five minutes ago. As…
Ham & Cheese Crustless Quiche
Enjoy this crustless quiche as a satisfying dinner or make it ahead and reheat for breakfast or lunch throughout the week. And did you know? Eggs have no sugar or carbs and are one of natureโs best sources of complete, digestible protein! Whatโs not to love about an egg? One of these little orbs has…
Greek-Style Grilled Chicken Dinner Salad
Last year, I shared a story about a friend of mine, Sarah Lanphier, whose successful college fundraiser led to a thriving granola company. Nuts About Granola produces a variety of uniquely delicious flavors–think carrot cake and PB&J–as well as a grain-free Forager line. Recently, Sarah launched a line of savory granolas, fittingly named Sarah’s Savory…
Easy Chicken Burrito Bowls
DIY burrito bowls are wholesome, loaded with fresh flavor, and easy to customize to taste! Thereโs a well-known restaurant that is famous for its burrito bowls, and I can see why. The flavorful all-in-one meal offers a high degree of customization and itโs sort of fun. Itโs viewed as a healthier option than many…
