I love kitchen toys. I saw this months ago, and just recently, I got an Amazon gift card for my birthday. My wonderful husband knew just what we should get. Yup. He's a genius. This is what I got for my birthday (via amazon)
It's a 3 quart cast iron enamel pot. I couldn't get over how cute it was, all apple like, and green. It's HEAVY, but it's a piece of cookware that I hope will be a really nice kitchen addition.
Here's my dillema.I love this, I went through 2 to get one without chips (the chipped one pictured above was replaced with ease by lodge) and it has a great place in the kitchen. but....
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO COOK IN IT!!!!
It seems like it would be great for all kinds of things, but I don't want to make canned soup in it first time out, or something that boring.
If there's anyone still out there, what suggestions do you have? What can I make in the apple?

I love the pot! It's so super cute, and I love enameled cast iron. :) Congratulation Annemarie, you've purchased an heirloom. That pot will probably outlive you and the next generation as well...
Anyway, I would make gumbo or jambalaya, or chicken tortilla soup. Or Osso bucco or baked beans. Or spicy Texas chili, or chicken curry.
Mmmm... I just ate dinner, and the possibilities are making my mouth water...
I can't wait to see what you decided to make! :)
I'm still here!
But I suck in the kitchen, so I'm no help.
Over at thepioneerwoman.com she seems to use those frequently, so you should check out some of her recipes.
I really like the apple. It's so cool. I wonder if it would be weird to make something with apples in the apple? Would that be bad? We should make our own Cowboy Flavor show but with apples instead.
make apple cobbler

I really love my pot, and I'm with you Kara, one of the reasons that I love this stuff so much is that it's made to last, and is real quality. I'm still using a $40 set of cookware from meijer otherwise.
