Maple Pumpkin Pie
Easy to make and delightful to eat, you may find yourself baking this pie well after the holiday season. For a pudding-like option, skip the crust and bake the filling in a lightly greased baking dish or individual ramekins. If I counted the number of times I’ve made this recipe for “testing”…
Cottage Casserole with a Kick
This all-in-one meal is as satisfying as it is easy! The ingredients mix up in a single bowl and may be prepared a day in advance. On a busy weeknight, meals that can be mixed up in one bowl or prepared in advance are especially helpful. This savory, protein-rich baked egg dish…
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.

Cauliflower Fried Rice
If only a photo could convey flavor! At first glance, this hearty and healthy meal may not seem particularly fabulous.

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.

Baked Mozzarella Sticks
I’m a snacker. Though I never miss a meal, I still get hungry between those meals. Like many, I’m most prone to absent-minded grazing in the hour or two before dinner, when salty or savory high-carb snacks seem irresistible. Baked Mozzarella Sticks are a pre-dinner nibble I love for several reasons. First, the protein in…
Freezer Breakfast Burritos
A little advance prep will reward you with a freezer full of these loaded burritos, and a helpful tip explains how they can go from freezer to microwave without getting soggy! Three summers ago, we hopped on the backyard chicken bandwagon. My husband had a small flock as a boy, and my kids had…
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.
