Posted in Buy Idaho, Buy Local, Onion, What's For Dinner?
Whenever you are creating a fantastic meal or appetizer, and you want to use some onion, do you know which one or type to use? I don’t always know. So here is a useful graphic that may help you to decide which one to use. Personally, I usually pick a red onion or a honey sweet one. And that’s just a matter of personal preference. Maybe I should check this chart! Left-Click the graphic to enlarge it or to save it. To print it, use the print function at the end of the article. Cheers!.

The long wait is over for 2019. The Boise Farmers Market (BFM) moves indoors until December 21, 2019. Here is the formal notice. See you there.
It’s that time of year again! We move indoors THIS SATURDAY [2 Nov 2019] for our BFM Indoor Winter Market. For the next eight weeks we will be conveniently located at 1500 Shoreline Drive (the same location as the outdoor farmers market) in the Southeast [actually the Northeast] corner of the building.
The entrances to the building are in back, off of 14th Street, or on the River Street side off of Spa Street. There will be lots of signage.Parking – Feel free to park on the summer farmers market footprint inside the fence. That is the closest parking. The fence will be gone soon, but it is still in place this week.
We have 55+ vendors this year! So many that ten of them are outside. Please support our food trucks, food vendors and brave souls who are outdoors as well as our indoor vendors! We will have a warming tent outside, also, with seating so you have a place to sit and eat.
The BFM Indoor Winter Market is Boise’s farmers market with a holiday twist. We will still have produce, protein and prepared foods and will also have locally made goods that make perfect gifts.
It’s just the right time to plan your local food holiday meals, also! You can order a turkey or your favorite cut of meat and we have all the ingredients, from sweet potatoes to cranberries to bread to salad mix, to help you create your delicious menu.Please join us Saturday at the BFM Indoor Winter Market!
We look forward to seeing you Indoors,
Tamara Cameron & The BFM Board of Directors

Fun time in the kitchen this past late summer. Mostly “playing” Chopped of the Kitchen: “These are the ingredients, make something edible!” In other words, mostly no recipe, just do it!
And let’s remember: The best ingredients are not processed ingredients, but rather go to your local Farmers Market. Visit your local fruit stand. You control what ingredients to use, not a major super market. Although, there are some really good super markets available, Just look at the ingredients and where the fruits and vegetables are grown, In My Not So Humble Opinion. Buy Local! Look at some of these meals. Enjoy, we did! Here is a link to Kelley’s Canyon Orchards for fantastic fruits. Look in the sidebar for more links to some fantastic produce and farm products.
Shrimp Omelet with Herbal Hollandaise Sauce. Here is the recipe that we use for making our own – from scratch – Hollandaise Sauce. CIA Basic Hollandaise Sauce. We modified this one to add fresh herbs, from the garden.
Robin said she wanted a toasted shredded wheat biscuit for breakfast with bananas. I added the blueberries. The biscuit has brown sugar on it that is caramelized with a torch.
Or how about this Toasted Whole Wheat Sandwich with Avocado and Tomato for breakfast. The tomato was from True Roots Gardens and the Whole Wheat was from Acme Bakeshop. Both vendors are at the Boise Farmers Market,
