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 →

Swiss Chard Quiche

Posted on July 8, 2013 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

Another great recipe that uses up all those greens!  In the Global Gardens cookbook, this recipe is titles “Everything Quiche,” because you can put everything in it.  Rio LOVES quiche and it’s a great way to get him to eat lots of veg.  He also loves to help cook, and hates it when he can’t … Continue reading →

Kale, Black Eyed Peas, and Bacon

We’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately now that the garden is in full swing.  This time of year can be a little awkward in the kitchen for some of you gardeners and CSA members out there, if you’re in a climate like Idaho.  While the tomatoes and corn aren’t quite ready yet, the … Continue reading →

Perfect Low-Sugar Blackberry Jam

Posted on August 24, 2012 by castironidaho • 3 Comments

Behold, dear readers, my first canning as a mom.  I’m super proud.  As you may have noticed, doing everything one-handed or during Rio’s naptimes has set me back a bit, and getting things done for my job and laundering diapers have been taking priority over blogging or interesting cooking. Anyway, we recently came into a … 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 →

Here’s what we’ve been cooking up for the holidays….chocolate truffles!  We wanted some homemade, edible gifts for family and friends, and although there is a bit of a learning curve to figuring out how to make these, they worked out perfectly.  For a moderate investment in time and money, we were able to deliver a … Continue reading →

How to Make a Pie Crust

Posted on December 16, 2011 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

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 →

Green Tomato and Apple Chutney

Posted on October 27, 2011 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

So, we finally got a good hard frost in Boise the other night, the 24th or so of October.  Late for us!  When the frost comes, many of the plants in the garden turn instantly black, and kind of weirdly smelly. Though it’s not a pretty sight, I have to admit that the first hard … Continue reading →
