Chipotle Maple Sweet Potato Soup

My good friend, Sonali, is an ER physician, wife and mother of an adorable toddler.  In her “spare” time, she authors The Foodie Physician blog and writes cookbooks.  (I know what you’re thinking…I don’t think she sleeps!)  Sonali kindly asked to include several of my Greek yogurt-inspired recipes in her recently published The Greek Yogurt…

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 Iโ€™ve made this recipe for “testing”…

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. Amazing aromas continuously wafted from her narrow kitchen, but it was her spunk and zest for life that made people want to sit down in that cozy space and stay a while. Day in and day…

Pumpkin Ginger Cookies

The addition of pumpkin supplies moisture and enhances the spices in this otherwise traditional (and utterly delicious!) ginger-molasses cookie.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Crispy edges, tender insides, and notes of caramel and butter take the classic bread pudding to new heights. Easy and irresistible!
