Weeknight Favorite Recipes
Homemade Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Homemade Jiffy corn muffin mix beats the boxed version any day, and it can be made gluten-free! Most of us have a short list of recipes that, for one reason or another, we return to again and again. One of the recipes from my own time-honored list is a cross between baked corn and cornbread…
Bacon & Egg Quinoa Fried “Rice”
This twist on a takeout favorite uses quinoa in place of rice for a breakfast-inspired meal that makes a great dinner too. As we coast into the season of mashed potatoes, cookies, eggnog, and pie, I figured it was more important than ever to share a few easy meals that are healthy yet filling–and…
Oven Baked Brown Rice with Vegetables
Week to week, I’m so busy thinking of new recipes that I occasionally forget about the old ones. When my younger son casually mentioned that I didn’t have to “experiment” so much with sweet potatoes and kale, I figured it was time to bring out a few of the Fulton family favorites! I really like…
Bircher Muesli Jars with Chia
When tasked with developing a recipe for a new-to-me product, my first step is often pretty logical. I simply swap it with similar ingredients in tried-and-true recipes. Over time, I learn what works, what doesn’t, and hopefully come up with a few new ideas. Usually, one or two recipes rise to the top, and I…
Lancaster Cheesesteaks
I was 13 years old when the blockbuster movie Witness was filmed in Lancaster. Without a doubt, it was a very big deal to have Hollywood heartthrob Harrison Ford come to our town. A good bit of the production took place in the vicinity of my childhood home. My friends and I tried to catch…

Egg & Avocado Toast
The simplest of ingredients unite for a filling, wholesome meal that satisfies any time of day. (And don’t miss the avocado tips!) A wooden lazy Susan sat in the center of my family’s kitchen table when I was young. It was fun to whirl around, and since little hands could give big spins, the…
Glazed Pork Chops
Saucy and bursting with crowd-pleasing Asian flavors, this recipe requires a short list of ingredients and cooks quickly! Mother always knows best. Just because I’m in my forties with children of my own doesn’t mean my mom doesn’t occasionally offer some helpful advice. Like most kids, I didn’t exactly relish constructive criticism when I…
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins (Grain-Free)
Naturally sweetened and grain-free, these tasty muffins are easy to whip up and perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks. (Dessert-worthy too!) It all began with this recipe for Pumpkin Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie. Until that point, I had frequently used peanut and almonds butter in savory soups, smoothies, sauces, and more (love these sesame peanut…

A sweetgreen copycat recipe, this wholesome bowl meal is easy to customize and a perfect way to use leftover turkey or chicken!
