Baked Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Pesto
This is so easy, it hardly qualifies as a recipe. It is so tasty, however, that I thought I should mention it! These tomatoes are a novel twist on the traditional tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad and are another wonderful use for Asiago Pesto Spread. You may certainly substitute your favorite pesto, purchased or…
Grilled Pesto Veggiewich
Years ago, I ate my first “veggiewich” at a restaurant and I was hooked. Vegetables never tasted so delicious yet made such a hearty meal. My home version incorporates my Asiago Pesto Spread, although your favorite pesto would be perfect. This time, I used leftover Balsamic Dijon Grilled Vegetables and fresh mozzarella cheese. Havarti with dill is…
Kale and Boursin-Stuffed Grilled Portobellos
Mushrooms were never something I ate a lot of growing up, but my husband has always adored them.

They are so meaty and satisfying, and their earthy flavor…
Quinoa, Cheddar and Zucchini Bake

Blackberry, Feta and Mint Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Last summer, a friend of mine offered me one week of her farm share as her family was leaving town and wouldn’t be home to use the food. Included in the stash of colorful summer veggies was a bunch of fresh spearmint, some crisp greens, and a box of plump, juicy blackberries. My mind immediately…
(Make-Ahead) Egg & Cheese Sandwiches with Crispy Prosciutto
When my sons were born, many friends were kind enough to drop off dinner.

After the birth of my second son, one clever person delivered breakfast sandwiches. I…
Kale, Leek and Gorgonzola Swirls
These mouth-watering bites look complicated but are easy to make–and a sure-fire hit! This recipe was passed along by Beth Rice, an avid cook and reader of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen. It first caught my attention because I love kale. When I saw gorgonzola in the recipe, I was sold! Another reason I wanted…

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…
Cauliflower-Spinach Mini Pizzas
After making pizza with a cauliflower crust and being amazed at how delicious it is, I was inspired to fiddle with the recipe a bit. Spinach seemed like a perfect partner to the cauliflower and the idea of bite-size pizzas seemed fun. Depending on how thin I spread the “crust” prior to baking, I could…
Cauliflower Crust “Pizza”
This recipe first caught my eye through a website called Naked Moxie. She, in turn, had seen this crazy idea for cauliflower crust through a blog called Casey Cooke: Jersey Shore Wildtree. When I saw the recipe, I simply had to try it. I mean, a cauliflower crust? That is some seriously clever thinking! This was…
