Chicken, Butternut Squash and White Bean Soup

After 12 fabulous years, I recently said farewell to the only car my almost 12-year-old son ever knew.  Even my 15-year-old son hardly remembered the car that preceded this one, but after sinking progressively more money into it, the time had come. I had no idea what sort of car I wanted next, and we…

Loaded Dinner Nachos

You could say it was love after the first neatball!  In all seriousness, I was truly skeptical when Laura Lapp first offered me a bite of the healthy meat alternative that she crafted in her kitchen.  But it tasted great. By way of background, Laura began her experimentation process to address her two daughters’ decision…

Apple Cider Chili

Today, I have the great privilege of sharing with you a guest recipe by Phoebe Canakis. Phoebe and I became acquainted through Fig magazine for which we are both contributors. With memories of dinner around the table that were created on a budget and not from a box and with roots in a Greek heritage,…

Parmesan Mushroom Polenta

A former White House chef shares his recipe for a versatile side dish, which can be easily transformed into a winning meal. A must make!   Early in my marriage, my husband was amused by how I could read a cookbook as though it were a best-selling novel. Well, I recently discovered a cookbook that…

Wild Rice and Sausage Casserole (or Stuffing/Dressing)

Initially created as a side to poultry, we enjoy this hearty recipe throughout the year as a main dish. It’s equally delightful paired with a green vegetable or salad.       It’s hard to believe that my year of delving into the Top 10 Food Trends as a Sargento Flavor Journey Correspondent is winding…

Unstuffed Cabbage

While vacationing in Rhode Island recently, Mary Jane from Lebanon noticed a recipe in “Newport This Week” and passed it along to me.  She thought this quicker version of a time consuming classic had the potential to be delicious, but had not yet made it. The simple preparation of this seasonal dinner appealed to me…

Quinoa, Beet, and Arugula Salad

Recently, after reading a post about quinoa on The Fountain Avenue Kitchen Facebook page, a thoughtful friend emailed me the following recipe.  Her only comment:  “THIS RECIPE IS DELICIOUS!” I wholeheartedly agree.  I first made this salad shortly after receiving the recipe and was delighted by the combination of flavors and how a few simple…

Zucchini, Potato, and Feta Frittata

A light but filling meatless meal that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this easy frittata is loaded with veggies and can be made ahead and reheated for added convenience.  It isn’t often that a meatless meal will satisfy my houseful of boys, but the potato in this simple frittata lends a satisfying heartiness while…

Zucchini Pizza Casserole

This family-friendly meal is a deliciously clever way to use an abundance of zucchini. Naturally gluten- and grain-free too!   Fresh herbs and zucchini are currently overflowing from our garden. The kale, chard, and spinach will make a comeback as cooler weather returns.   So, for the next recipe in my Sargento flavor journey, I…

Zucchini, Tomato and Sausage Casserole

Don’t you love it when a friend shares a time-tested, family-favorite recipe? This one contains everything you need for a well rounded meal and quickly became a quick favorite in our house too! Stacie is a friend of my husband’s from elementary school days with whom we reconnected when I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen.…

Jen’s Incredible Baked Meatballs

These tender, flavorful baked meatballs have been a family and reader favorite for many years. Hundreds of readers have called them the best meatballs ever! Serve them with spaghetti and your favorite sauce, as an appetizer, in a meatball sandwich-or all by themselves. A perfect meal prep recipe that freezes well too! Perhaps you are like me…

Sweet Cherry & Feta Quinoa with Peach Vinaigrette

A light, flavor-packed salad that’s delightful paired with virtually any grilled protein but stands alone as a complete vegetarian meal. For a vegan alternative, simply omit the feta. And try substituting dried cherries or cranberries when the fresh cherry season has ended. 🍒 Every summer, I make several varieties of homemade jam that we enjoy throughout the…
