Egg Recipes
Yogurt Bran Muffins
Do you have a favorite community cookbook? I have a few, which I enjoy reading from time to time. The recipes are like a slice into someone else’s kitchen, and they’re personal in a way that many mainstream cookbooks are not. Recently, Stonyfield Organic sent me the Yogurt Cookbook, which is a compilation of recipes submitted…
3-Ingredient Mexican Cheese Bites
A curious thing happened a few days after my Mango Chicken Chili recipe appeared in this column a few months back. The chili recipe included mango salsa as a key ingredient. Figuring this might not be a regular grocery list item for many readers, I mentioned two reliable brands. Several days later, I received…
Lucky Cake (or Peanut Butter Chip Cake) with Foolproof Peanut Butter Frosting
A secret ingredient (that no one will guess) makes this cake delicious AND lucky…and who couldn’t use more luck in the New Year? Would you keep reading if I told you that there’s sauerkraut in this cake? When I see a recipe with an oddball ingredient or an offbeat method of preparation, I’m often…
Baked Denver Omelet
Similar to a frittata, this baked omelet can be mixed in one bowl and requires no sautéing prior to baking. It’s a super speedy meal that is perfect with your favorite deli ham or leftover baked ham. There’s a special appeal to a recipe that mixes up in a single bowl. Who isn’t thrilled at…
Pumpkin Bran Muffins (with optional 2-ingredient frosting)
The classic bran muffin meets a whole can of pumpkin in this wholesome recipe that the whole family will love! Bran muffins are a seemingly wholesome way to start the day, yet so many bran muffins rely on sugar and oil to create moisture and flavor… Enter pumpkin! These satisfying muffins offer the health…
Maple Pumpkin Pie
Easy to make and delightful to eat, you may find yourself baking this pie well after the holiday season. For a pudding-like option, skip the crust and bake the filling in a lightly greased baking dish or individual ramekins. If I counted the number of times I’ve made this recipe for “testing”…
Cottage Casserole with a Kick
This all-in-one meal is as satisfying as it is easy! The ingredients mix up in a single bowl and may be prepared a day in advance. On a busy weeknight, meals that can be mixed up in one bowl or prepared in advance are especially helpful. This savory, protein-rich baked egg dish…
Secret Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie
A happy fusion of a fudgy brownie and the perfect peanut butter cookie, this grain-free dessert can be dairy-free with the use of dairy-free chocolate chips. When I purchase a new product, I often look to see if there’s a recipe on the package. Until I started The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, I never thought…
Cauliflower Fried Rice
If only a photo could convey flavor! At first glance, this hearty and healthy meal may not seem particularly fabulous. That said, I’ve served it many times for family and friends (and have even used it for several school cooking demonstrations), and it’s always a major crowdpleaser! As a child, cauliflower was…
Gladys Langford’s Apple Cake
On occasion in this space, I have mentioned the inspiration for The Fountain Avenue Kitchen–my maternal grandmother, Gladys Langford. Amazing aromas continuously wafted from her narrow kitchen, but it was her spunk and zest for life that made people want to sit down in that cozy space and stay a while. Day in and day…
Pumpkin Ginger Cookies
The addition of pumpkin supplies moisture and enhances the spices in this otherwise traditional (and utterly delicious!) ginger-molasses cookie. A few weeks ago, I bumped into a friend and walked away with a bag of egg replacer in my hands. If this sounds a little strange, read on… Phil Lapp and his wife, Laura, are…
Whole-Can-of-Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Last fall, a friend mentioned that when she uses part of a can of pumpkin, the leftover portion always seems to go bad before she gets a chance to finish it. To avoid this problem, feel free to click on the link to my Pumpkin Roundup, below. But also consider giving the following recipe a…
