A pumpkin feast, from one proud pumpkin – Fresh Foodie

It wasn’t a Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin, but the largest pumpkin we got from our CSA farm this season reminded me more of Bert’s head from Sesame Street. When Owen (the four-year-old) decided he wanted to carve it today, we really didn’t know quite what we were getting into, but it couldn’t have had a happier […]

Halloween orange muffins: a healthy treat to trick your kids

When I say orange, I mean the color. The four-year-old and I wanted to make orange-colored muffins befitting of our jack-o-lantern muffin pans. We (read: me) also didn’t want to use chemical food coloring in the batter or the frosting, so we came up with pumpkin carrot muffins. If you were jazzed by the idea […]

Pumpkin coconut ice cream, by request

Jessica Seinfeld, eat your heart out — I just made pumpkin ice cream for my four-year-old. Yes, ice cream with a vegetable in it, and get this — he asked for it. That’s right. Some would even have referred to it as begging. So when my self-proclaimed squash hater begs for pumpkin ice cream, is […]

The Apple Crisp War – Redneck Cooking

The other day my wife and I were talking about what to do with the apples we got from our apple trees. We talked about canning them as pie filling, or making apple butter. I suggested that I could use some of them to make apple crisp. We both decided that would be good and […]

Banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

Clearly, we’re a household that loves cookies. From the vegan pumpkin oatmeal cookies to my killer zucchini chocolate chip cookies, we can often be caught baking. I’ve even published a recipe for almond butter banana oatmeal cookies before, and even though they sound a bit similar, these are nothing like this recipe for banana oatmeal […]

Winter fruit: a tasty treat – Redneck Cooking

One of the great things about fall are the fresh peaches. Here in Idaho I am fortunate enough to live in a part of the state that has a good season for growing peaches. I have one peach tree in my front yard and it is a good producer. Most years I get a good […]
