The Fountain Avenue Kitchen – Baked Cheddar-Broccoli Rice Cups What started as a way to use the Minute rice my husband bought in place of long grain rice has become something of a sensation. When I shared this recipe shortly after I began The Fountain Avenue Kitchen, I never dreamed it would be shared, Pinned, and cooked so often. Interestingly, at least once a week I get an email from someone telling me that this recipe and photo were posted on someone else’s blog with no credit to me. Given that I am putting recipes out on the world wide web in the first place, I figure this is not something to get too upset about. Right or wrong, these things happen. Yet one kind woman who emailed me at least 20 links to pirated versions of this recipe finally sent me a watermarked version of my photo (see above) so that people would know it’s mine! Simple to whip up with ingredients you have on hand, this side is a sure kid-pleaser that adults will enjoy as well. Baked Cheddar Broccoli Rice Cups

Dakota came up with this recipe for Avocado / Tomato / Mozzarella Salad It is even better than good. It is awesome. Summertime when there are lots of garden fresh tomatoes That is a great time to make this salad. Besides tasting so great did you know that avocados are good for you too? they provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid.

It IS that good. Enjoy.
