Everyday Simple Suppers.....Review & Giveaway!

 

I honestly didn't know where to start with this cookbook. It is literally full of the best recipes! I went crazy digging through this one, and I still have a list on my refrigerator of more recipes I can't wait to make.

Another surprise for me as I flipped through this newest cookbook from Gooseberry Patch...one of my recipes is in it! Cool! :)

With fall coming, I chose a slow-cooker recipe. Nothing is as cozy as coming home to a home that smells as yummy as dinner already cooked! Joan's Slow-Cooker Chicken Stuffing Casserole hit the spot with my family!
