Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops with Pineapple Mint Salsa
We are on vacation, visiting my parents in sunny California for the kids’ spring break. It’s a real treat. Even more of a treat is getting to spend time with my mom, and we have been having some fun in the kitchen. I don’t often think about lamb chops, but my mom suggested them as…
Pineapple Mint Salsa
Grilling is the perfect way to get a great dinner on the table quickly. Marinades are wonderful, but sometimes I don’t think far enough in advance for them. With a salsa, the meat can be grilled with a simple sprinkling of salt and pepper with the salsa spooned over at the end. If you do…
Mango Peach Smoothie
A nasty, little virus knocked on our door a few days ago and my younger son was hit rather hard. After a couple days of not eating much, he requested a smoothie last night (as well as last week’s bread…couldn’t pull that one off in time!). I had one more mango on hand–his favorite–so I…
Kale Chips
We grow kale in our garden and eat it in a myriad of ways. Our plants actually survived past Christmas this year. My kids seriously love it. Our chickens love it, too. (That’s a whole other interesting story!) Knowing kale might not be a hit with two young boys, the first way I ever served…
Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
With the bananas and whole wheat flour, I like to think of this dessert as two-thirds healthy! It is 100% delicious and the perfect way to keep over-ripe bananas from going to waste!
Potato-Chive Salmon Burgers (or Sliders)
Having canned, wild salmon on hand is such an easy way to whip up a quick, healthy, affordable dinner–in this case, as salmon cakes. ย The addition of leftover potatoes and chives give the cakes some heft and great flavor. ย Remaining salmon cakes make a satisfying sandwich for lunch or another dinner the next day. ย To…
Perfectly Broiled Salmon with Scallion Salsa
Humble alliums pair with two pantry staples for a tangy, crisp salsa that adds something special to perfectly broiled, 5-minute salmon. My husband is an onion lover and has been known to eat this salsa by the spoonful. The rest of us aren’t so bold but absolutely enjoy how the salsa effortlessly elevates broiled…
Mango Madness Wheat Berry Salad
This salad invention was the result of one sweet, juicy mango that simply inspired me. My kids adore mangos. As a fun snack, they typically eat the mangos right off the skin (see photo). I had to hide this one so that it actually made it to the salad! To easily cube the mango, slice…
Crusty Pecan Raisin Cider Bread
Bread baking may not be an every day event, but it can be a fun weekend project with delicious rewards. This recipe delivers a gorgeous, crusty loaf with a tender crumb and makes great French toast too! Earlier this week, I saw a friend’s photo of a piece of crusty peasant bread with a…
Pancetta, Kale, and Parmesan Frittata
Frittatas are quick, easy, and a simple salad or cooked vegetable turns them into a well-rounded meal. Or serve this filling, flavorful recipe with a side of fruit for a lovely breakfast or brunch. Frittatas truly are fast food. A quick saute, five minutes in the oven, and you have a great meal. Frittatas are…
Kathleen’s Low-Carb Cottage Pancakes
Thanks to their light and fluffy texture and low-carb appeal, even those who don’t care for cottage cheese adore Kathleen’s Cottage Pancakes! High protein and low carb are typically not the words I associate with pancakes, but this recipe shakes things up a bit! A friend of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen passed…
Slow Cooker Turkey Tenderloin with Wild Rice and Butternut Squash
Hearty, wholesome, and hands off, this all-in-one slow cooker meal is perfect comfort food throughout the colder months. Out of the crock pot and onto the plate. Dinner tonight was as easy as it was delicious. It had everything in it โ juicy, tender turkey for filling protein, wild rice for high-quality carbs, colorful…
