I always think I could have a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen with Amee from Ameeโs Savory Dish. Her culinary style is appealing, approachable, and doable…not to mention delicious. I am so pleased to welcome the multi-talented Amee Livingston and her amazing quinoa salad to The Fountain Avenue Kitchen… Amee is a southern…
Mom’s Classic Strawberry Shortcake
While this classic recipe is traditionally served as dessert, my family has long enjoyed it for the occasional dinner when local strawberries are in season. Served with milk or yogurt, it’s great for breakfast too! Growing up, making strawberry shortcake with freshly picked, local berries was tradition. My sister and I loved to toss…
Round Two Pasta
This pasta is so delicious and beyond easy. It is the perfect example of how you can reinvent leftovers into something brand new. I find that having a homemade sauce or dressing on hand helps me create healthy, flavorful meals in a snap. It is also a great reason to always grill extra chicken, flank…

A wholesome, flavor-packed topping adds complementary flavor and fresh appeal to grilled flank steak. Easy to make and leftovers offer an ideal protein topper to a big dinner salad another night.

Grilled Romaine and Prosciutto Salad with Greeked-Out Gorgonzola
I don’t cook a lot of red meat, but flank steak is one meal that I enjoy for both is ease of preparation and great flavor. Plus, it’s inexpensive compared to many other cuts of beef and I like what I can do with the leftovers. When I first served this grilled romaine salad with…
Make-Ahead Sweet Green Smoothie
For years, I have enjoyed making smoothies. There are many I enjoy, but I often return to my favorite smoothie which has a chocolate base and is a healthier way to satisfy my never-ending sweet tooth. Although I like my greens, NEVER did I have any inclination to put them in the blender. Until recently.…
Healthier Homemade Cafe Mocha
When I first started drinking coffee, I drank it black. When kids came along and the play groups started, I was introduced to flavored creamers. Then, Starbucks appeared on every street corner with their mochas and macchiatos. Black coffee? To get around the hydrogenated fat in the flavored creamers and the four dollar price tag…
Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Evolution Power Yoga, the studio where I take my yoga classes–which are fabulous, by the way–offers a “40 Days to Personal Revolution” program about twice a year. This program incorporates much over that time period, from daily yoga and meditation to a healthier eating regimen. From week to week certain foods are eliminated and by…
Kale Waldorf Salad
One of the first recipes I copied from my grandmother was for a simple Waldorf Salad. I still have that 3×5 card and still enjoy a big bowl of it from time to time, with its hearty crunch and tart-sweet pairing of flavors. With my love of kale, I developed a new recipe, loosely based…
Make-Ahead Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal Smoothie
My friend, Jill, over at GroO New York, recently shared a smoothie link that caught my attention. Although I have often seen smoothie recipes with oatmeal blended in, I have never before tried them, even though I am a huge oatmeal fan. Between the make-ahead concept and the promise of a thick smoothie–and, of course, the suggestion…
Thai Ginger Peanut Sauce
In my quest to seek out and shine a light on one delicious recipe each week from other cooks, something from my friend Ann (yes, another Ann!) of Sumptuous Spoonfuls fame, caught my eye. I adore Thai flavors, love all things peanut-ty, and haven’t made anything which fits that bill recently. Having some ingredients that…
Maple Dijon Roasted Root Vegetables
Ever since I devised the recipe for Apple-Pecan Spring Greens with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette, we have eaten that salad a lot! I initially made it to mimic a restaurant salad that my dad really enjoyed and have become quite a fan, myself. The addition of Spiced Pecans makes me really swoon! When a friend told me…
