Caramel Apples

Posted on October 28, 2015 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

Happy Halloween!  Here’s a little project the kids and I did.  We got a few requests for the recipe, so, here you go. Rio had been eyeing the caramel apples at the grocery store for weeks.  I didn’t want to buy them but told him we could make our own.  It’s a pretty easy project, … Continue reading →

Two Lovers in Search of Good Cake

Posted on February 13, 2012 by castironidaho • 4 Comments

Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is here again!  We heard on NPR this morning that the average American spends a ridiculous amount of cash on Valentine’s Day gifts, something like $150.  Really?  Instead of making it a consumer holiday, why not show your love by cooking dinner together, complete with a fancy dessert? … Continue reading →

Finally, I bring you the pie crust recipe to go with our pumpkin pie recipe.  The following photos are from my Thanksgiving pies, and I’d hoped to get this posted sooner, but fortunately we have more pie-eating holidays coming up.  I find it so extremely satisfying to make a pie crust from scratch, even though … Continue reading →

Pumpkin Pie from a Real Pumpkin

Posted on December 2, 2011 by castironidaho • 4 Comments

We were fairly successful at growing pumpkins this year. Sometimes they’re hit or miss, mainly because the squash bugs in Idaho really like them, and also because you have to plant them early enough to get a good harvest, which is sometimes tricky with our cold, slow springs.  I do not grow jack-o-lantern pumpkins; just … Continue reading →

Mom’s Zucchini Bread

Posted on October 17, 2011 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

In honor of my Mom’s recent visit to Boise, I’ll post her zucchini bread recipe.  I’ve been eating this one since I was little, when her garden produced an overabundance of the dreaded green squash.  We haven’t had a hard frost yet in Boise, so we’ve still got some of them lingering about. If you … Continue reading →

Fresh Raspberry Tart

Posted on October 3, 2011 by castironidaho • 6 Comments

I have to admit that one of my favorite parts about being Farmer Marty’s girlfriend is that I get to eat as many raspberries as I want.  Well, at least when they’re in season, and sometimes I do have to help pick them, but he has quite a crop in his backyard, still going strong … Continue reading →

Dutch Oven Sourdough Carrot Cake

Posted on April 24, 2011 by castironidaho • Leave a comment

Marty and I made this Carrot Cake for the Dutch Oven Potluck.  The truth is, Alex’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake was better.  This is the second time we’ve made this one, and we’re still perfecting it.  It was actually better the first time, burned a bit on the bottom this time, so be sure not … Continue reading →

And the winner is………….Alex Neiwirth, with his fancy delicious Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside Down Cake! While the Dutch Oven Potluck was a great success, and a good time was had by all who attended, attendance was a little lower than we’d hoped!  What’s wrong, people?  Is Celebration Park too far away?  You missed out, but … Continue reading →
