It's almost Thanksgiving, the leaves have turned beautiful colors and have mostly gone. This is my favorite time of year to make so many goodies and comfort foods. What better cookbook to share with you than Autumn In A Jiffy, from <a href="http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/" target="_blank">Gooseberry Patch</a>! Fast, easy and delicious recipes, can it get any better? <br />
<br />
Our family, especially our daughter, enjoys munchies that we can take on the go. We typically take a weekend and go for a fall ride through our area and take in all the beautiful fall colors, and that requires some snacks. <br />

And it just isn't fall if you don't have something pumpkin-y. I love pumpkin anything, and if you top it with cream cheese frosting, that makes it unbelievable! I made this recipe, with the intention of sharing with the gals at work, but...I don't know how it disappeared at home so quickly! </div>

Gooseberry Patch has released yet another cookbook filled with delicious, go-to recipes! I have picked out three, yummy, recipes to share with you, although it was very hard to narrow it down to just a few, when the book is filled with amazing recipes! <br />
<br />
As with all Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, the recipes are easy to put together, and filled with ingredients to please even picky eaters. My daughter loves helping out with the reviews, and having her input on what we make for meals encourages her to try new foods. <br />

The birds that come to my feeders make winter so much more bearable for me. I'm a spring, summer and fall person. <br />
<br />
I've been practicing with my new camera, and thankful the birds cooperate, most of the time. Ok, some of the time...more like I take 100 pictures to get maybe one or two good ones. I'm thankful we now have digital cameras. But, when I happen to get that one picture that turns out the way I think it should, makes sitting out in the cold, patiently waiting, worth it. :)<br />

It's the first day of Fall, and the weather here in southeast Ohio is cool, cloudy with a few rain showers, which is a perfect fall day for me!<br />
<br />
It's also perfect for a recipe review of Gooseberry Patch's newest cookbook, Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites. Chock full of comfort food recipes! <br />
<br />
In addition to the wonderful recipes you expect from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, there are also memories shared by Gooseberry Patch fans, in the first chapter, Autumn's in the Air. Other chapters include, Morning Frost on the Pumpkins, Tailgating with Family & Friends, Off to the Pumpkin Patch, Gather 'Round the Table and Sweet Treats Around the Bonfire. <br />
<br />
My family loves soups & stews when the weather gets colder. <br />
We especially enjoyed the Zuppa Pizzeria.<br />

I realized how I had overlooked some amazing little creepy crawlies. <br />

I love coming across that one cookbook that seems to have not a few "go to" recipes, but all are "go to" recipes. This cookbook that has just been released by <a href="http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/" target="_blank">Gooseberry Patch</a> has recipes that are perfect for busy families. (I also like it when "foolproof" is in the title! ;) ).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book is full of recipes that are easy to put together, with easy-to-follow directions. </div>

So, in time for Memorial Day and the beginning of summer, I'm doing an Early Bird Cookbook Review for<a href="http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/" target="_blank"> Gooseberry Patch</a>. The cookbook is GBP Grilling & Campfire Cooking. I found so many delicious recipes in just the first chapter! My family loves to cook out any chance we get. But, this summer I've decided to experiment more on the grill, and go a little further than hot dogs and hamburgers. This cookbook really helped me get a start on that. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also find this ebook at<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Grilling-Campfire-Cookbook-Everyday-Collection-ebook/dp/B00GF2SOOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1401065720&sr=1-1&keywords=gooseberry+patch+grilling+and+campfire" target="_blank"> Amazon</a> for $1.99. </div>

Sweet & Spicy Chicken was my first choice. I cut back on the amount of chili powder, only because I know my daughter would not touch it if it's too spicy. Loved the sweet and spicy combination. I've made this twice now, once on the charcoal grill (we ate them as sandwiches), and another time I made them on our George Foreman grill, and we sliced the chicken breasts up for a salad. You can use this chicken for so many different things!<br />

<br />
Once again I am sharing some amazing recipes from the newest cookbook from Gooseberry Patch. 101 Super-Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes is a wonderful cookbook for the busy family. With spring being here, we have a lot of things going on, getting our gardens ready, kids softball games, graduations. It's wonderful to have our slow-cooker already working for us while we are out and about enjoying our day. And "easy" is always a favorite word of mine when it comes to meal planning. <br />

The first recipe I chose comes from Rogene Rogers of Bemidji, MN. <br />
Apple -Glazed Pork Roast. This was delicious, and served with some steamed broccoli made the meal complete. <br />

So glad that April is here! Even though we're still dealing with so-so weather, at least we are that much closer to spring-ish weather. <br />
<br />
We are having heavy rains and some rumbles of thunder, which I LOVE! And I heard the spring peepers last night back at our pond. <br />
<br />
Don't forget to check back on the blog post with the giveaway... "<span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Good-For-You Everyday Meals</u></span>" I've got 2 cookbooks to give away!! And I'm working on another cookbook review for later this month! A lot of yummy good stuff this spring! <br />

What better time than spring to think about healthy eating, especially when fresh fruits and vegetables are going to be in season?! Gooseberry Patch has released their newest cookbook, and I have to say it's a great addition to any cookbook collection! As a diabetic I like to find more healthy recipes, but they have to be tasty to satisfy my family. <br />
<br />
Gooseberry Patch Good-For-You Everyday Meals has everything my family likes, from breakfast to desserts! <br />

6 bone-in pork chops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
salt and pepper to taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 cup butter, divided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 to 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 onion, thinly sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 c. lager-style beer or apple cider</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Melt half of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops to skillet; cook for 5 minutes. Turn chops over and cook for another 4 minutes, or until juices run clear. Drain; remove chops to a plate. Reduce heat to medium; add remaining butter, apples, onions and thyme to the skillet. (This really makes the kitchen smell YUMMY!) Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally; add beer or cider. Cook an additional 15 minutes, or until liquid has reduced and thickened. Return chops to skillet; cover with apple mixture. Makes 6 servings. </div>

Our coldest temp has been -25.<br />
Let's just say that adds a huge challenge to just doing our usual chores. <br />
Our frost free hydrant that gives us water in our upper barn, busted and flooded the center pen. No animals are kept in that pen, however we now have a skating rink that my be Olympic worthy. <br />
<br />
Calving has begun here on the farm. I will have some pictures of our new babies soon.<br />
<br />
Sending thoughts & prayers out to those who are in the path of the most recent storm. Hope everyone stays warm & safe!<br />
