Orange-Infused Chocolate Chunk Brownies
Who remembers the Pepsi Challenge? Years ago, I remember going to a mall while with my family in the Poconos and seeing the stand. I thought it was so cool that we ran into the real, live challenge, just like they did on the Pepsi commercials. My mom never kept sodas in the house, so…
Baked Cheddar Spinach Squares
Easy, cheesy spinach squares are a retro appetizer that make an equally delicious side dish. The squares may be baked ahead and reheated and freeze well too. The look of today’s menu item may remind you of a crustless quiche. In this recipe, however, two eggs serve as a binder for the remaining ingredients…
Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal with Quinoa
Those who have visited my kitchen, virtual or otherwise, are most likely familiar with my penchant for baked oatmeal! Months ago, I saw the idea of combining oats and quinoa from Cooking Quinoa–a fabulous resource for additional quinoa recipes, by the way–and I thought this could be an interesting spin on my standard of using all oats.…
Baked Oatmeal and a Weekend in Miami…
It is hard to believe a humble oatmeal dish took my husband, Jack, and me on a trip to Miami. When Smart Balance asked me to participate in their national recipe contest, I almost didn’t do it. Would asking for votes, repeatedly over a month, be an annoyance to people? I certainly didn’t want to be…
Cheeseburger Frittata
With four backyard chickens, if I don’t make eggs for a week, we end up with a fridge full of eggs! A frittata is the perfect way to enjoy eggs for dinner and, even if you don’t have chickens of your own, is an economical way to provide a flavorful, high-protein meal. Frittatas are easy…
Chunky Quinoa Granola
This is one of those recipes I am really excited to share. It is chunky and crispy and, as far as my tastebuds are concerned, the perfect granola. What’s more, it is a terrific option for those who are gluten-free and may be intolerant of oats. From the various feedback I receive from the fabulous…

Foolproof classic cheesecake (with a few delicious upgrades!) is easy to make with this recipe and the included helpful tips. First off, Happy New Year!!! It has been a complete pleasure to share my recipes with so many friends, both old and new, in the past year and I look forward to more…
Santa Cookies
Santa Claus Christmas cookies are festive and fun to make and eat. Perfect for holiday gifting and Santa’s Christmas Eve treat! In my recent snickerdoodle biscotti post, I mentioned my talented friend, Lisa. Every December, Lisa spends countless hours mixing, rolling and baking hundreds upon hundreds of cookies for the most amazingly delicious and…
Snickerdoodle Biscotti
Classic, twice-baked biscotti goes Snickerdoodle-style thanks to an easy cinnamon sugar topping. Low in fat and high in flavor, this crisp Italian cookie is perfect for dipping in coffee, tea, and cocoa! Lisa is a friend who happens to be an incredible baker. Every year in early December, she begins the month-long process of…
White Chocolate Pecan Pie
White chocolate and a graham cracker crust take the classic pecan pie to new heights in this crowd-pleasing dessert that assembles in a mere minutes. While my husband, Jack, does not often cook, there are two or three dishes he prepares quite well. Baking, however, is unexplored territory. So, when he bought the ingredients…

Thank you all for voting, entering, and being a friend of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen. I truly wish I could send you all on a trip! Congratulations to Matthew and wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving…
Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Butternut Squash
This is a recipe I like to make at least once every fall or winter. Most of the ingredients can be easily held on hand and it is a delicious, satisfying way to get a day’s worth of colorful veggies. While this recipe works well as a unique side dish, perfectly paired with poultry or…
