Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Butter

The heavenly aroma of sweet apples and warm spices fills your kitchen with this versatile fall favorite that can be sweetened to taste. The generous batch freezes well, and you can even bake with it!  Maybe you’ve shied away from apple butter because it seems limited to toast and plain yogurt. If those items aren’t…

Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

There may be no shortage of pumpkin spice lattes in this world, but now you can make them at home, with tea or coffee, iced or hot, and with several other customizable options. You may even find that the homemade version tastes fresher…and at a fraction of the usual price!  I adore coffee and pumpkin, but I…

Crunchy Top Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal (Muffins Optional)

Pumpkin and warm spices join a short list of kitchen staples in this hearty breakfast that may be prepared in advance and enjoyed throughout the week. From sweet pies, muffins, cookies, and cakes to savory soups, vinaigrettes, and even butter, there are so many ways to enjoy pumpkin. For a quick pumpkin fix, I’ve long…

Roasted Beet & Green Bean Salad

Clever cooking techniques, make-ahead convenience, and lots of options add to the appeal of this vibrant salad. The versatile vinaigrette is an absolute keeper that comes together quickly with basic pantry items.   One of the first things I learned when I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen in 2012 was just how polarizing certain foods can…

Stuffing Waffles

Stuffing waffles are a quick way to make a fun meal out of leftover stuffing. Top with leftover turkey and gravy, a fried egg, cranberry sauce or whatever sounds good to you!   Sometimes I’m not sure which I enjoy more-the big turkey dinner or the leftovers that follow! Realistically, if you’ve been working hard…

Easy Make-Ahead Gravy Base or Quick Gravy

A quick and easy base to which pan drippings are added for a deliciously stress-free (and lump-free!) gravy. May be prepared up to 4 days in advance.   Do you fret over making the gravy? It’s the last-minute job that must be done as you’re trying to complete a myriad of other tasks and get everything to…

Slow Cooker Stuffing (with oven method)

Tender stuffing with crispy edges is 100% possible in a slow cooker, freeing up precious oven space. The classic flavor is sure to please, and the optional add-ins and prep-ahead tips offer something extra for everyone. (Gluten- and dairy-free suggestions included so all can enjoy!) As a girl, stuffing was always my favorite part of…

Cranberry Apple Crisp 

A delightful balance of sweet and tart adds something special to this easy crisp, which can be made dairy- and gluten-free if needed.   While I will always have a fond place in my heart for my grandmother’s black raspberry and apple pies, with their flaky, buttery crusts and sweet-tart fillings, I’ve broken with holiday tradition…
