Folded Omelet for One with Lox, Shallot & Yogurt
My favorite New York City breakfast is quite simple: a fresh, chewy bagel with a shmear (to use proper deli lingo) of cream cheese and a layer of lox. A few capers and some minced red onion sprinkled on top cranks this deli classic up an extra notch. So when I received a copy of…
Shrimp Creole
Shrimp Creole is a company-worthy dinner that, with a spoonful of rice and perhaps a crusty roll, is all you need. You can even prepare it the day before and simply add the shrimp just before serving. Last week, I mentioned my tendency to file away recipes for the next season, holiday, or some…
One Dish Baked Fish Marinara
A short list of basic ingredients comes together quickly in this wholesome meal that requires just one pan. A little leftover rice will create a heartier casserole, although serving it over pasta, a grain of choice, or some crusty bread works well too. The start of the school year is always a busy time,…
Tuna in Rustic Tomato Sauce
Quick, wholesome, and brimming with flavor, this one-pan meal makes a perfect dinner for two, but the recipe doubles easily. As summer dwindles and the days grow shorter, I find myself savoring the many varieties of local produce that will soon be gone until next summer. Sad as I am to say goodbye to…
Grilled Apricot Shrimp with Harissa Aioli
These flavor-packed shrimp will impress all who try. They’re equally perfect as an entree or appetizer and can be enjoyed hot off the grill or at room temperature. From week to week I toil—probably longer than I should－over which recipes to share on this page. The decision becomes more difficult when a…
Sesame Soy Salmon (an easy 4-ingredient marinade)
Four simple ingredients come together with ease in this flavor-packed marinade that makes the most of salmon and so much more! I could hardly let a summer pass without sharing some version of my favorite 3-ingredient marinade. This marinade has been quite popular with my family and friends for at least a decade now,…
Crab, Avocado & Corn Salad with Cilantro & Lime
Memorial Day weekend officially launches the season of cookouts, picnics, and pool time. A repertoire of simple, make-ahead recipes can ensure more time enjoying the outdoor fun and less time sweating it out in the kitchen. The following crab salad was an early addition to my blog and has developed a loyal fan base. My…
Teriyaki Salmon Wraps
Somewhere between today and tomorrow is the two year anniversary of The Fountain Avenue Kitchen. You see, my site launched on February 29th–Leap Day–of 2012. There was a teacher in my elementary school who was born on Leap Day. I remember the year he turned nine (technically, 36). None of the kids could imagine celebrating…
Ginger Soy Glazed Salmon
Sometimes, time just gets away from me! I have been meaning to make this recipe for months. Sonali of The Foodie Physician fame is a dear friend who happens to be a culinary-school trained ER doctor. It’s a unique skill set–one that promises a conversation with Sonali will always be fascinating. Knowing my love of salmon, Sonali…
Parmesan Mushroom Polenta
A former White House chef shares his recipe for a versatile side dish, which can be easily transformed into a winning meal. A must make! Early in my marriage, my husband was amused by how I could read a cookbook as though it were a best-selling novel. Well, I recently discovered a cookbook that…
Crispy Parmesan Flounder
Simple ingredients come together in a snap in this mild but flavorful fish entree the whole family will enjoy! I think most of us are thrilled to discover a new fast and easy recipe that tastes great, right? The following fish dish is a busy night favorite in our house. The three-ingredient topping can…
Potato Crusted Salmon
My T-Fal cookware giveaway began yesterday. In conjunction with that giveaway, I was asked to review the Cooking Planit app. I joke with my kids that I am “under-app-ed.” That is my made-up term meaning that I hardly have any apps and the ones I have I rarely use! I know…I should get with the program! I…
