Hello sweet ladies...........are you ready for a little party?
Now, you know that our son's family just adopted a little boy from the Ukraine who is now our GRANDSON. I have been waiting for this day to do some celebrating! About 3 weeks ago I received an Early Bird Update from Gooseberry Patch........I am so so excited to announce that Gooseberry Patch has some new recipe books and I get to review 3. The first one is called............
Recipes for Warming Hearts
You are going to enjoy this one so much. It is small, but it has so many "fun ideas to inspire you to show kindness all year 'round".
Here are the head titles:
Tips for Sending Heartfelt Thanks
Recipes for Warming Hearts at Home
Heartfelt Deliveries
Whimsical Wrapping
Freezer-Friendly Gifts
Homemade from the Kitchen Small Gestures, Big Impacts.
Doesn't that just make you want to know what is on the inside? This cute recipe book is 48 pages and measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4", it might be small, but it is full of really really fun ideas and recipes.
We will start the party today September 19th and will end on Sunday September 25th at noon central time.
I will announce the winner on
Monday September 26.
I am sure you would like to see what is inside the cookbook. You know all the art that is one of Gooseberry Patches cookbooks? This one will not disappoint you!!!!!!!!!
click the picture for the recipe.
The first recipe I chose was the Apple Scones.
After I cut the scones I placed a slice of an apple with the peel still on and place it on the top of each scone. Bake and then placed them on a plate, then shake powdered sugar on the scones and serve them on a pretty dish.
The second recipe, which ended up being my favorite was.........
Glazed Lemon Bread
Oh NUM!!!!!!!!
The glaze made the bread look beautiful!
"Serve one for your family and deliver the second loaf to a friend."
In the Recipe Book you will find cute little tips found on a lot of the pages.
Need a cake stand in a jiffy for your special creation? Simply turn a bowl over and set a pretty plate on top.
Welcome newcomers to the neighborhood by hand-delivering a basket of breakfast goodies! Tuck in a list of your suggestions for the best local destinations too.
Next time you're giving a gift from the kitchen, decorate a lunch bag with stencils or cheerful rubber stamps. Fill with treats, fold the top over and punch two holes in the top. Slide a candy stick or a long-stemmed flower through the holes for a sweet gift bag!
Giving a cookbook or another gift they'll use in the kitchen? Wrap it up in a new apron or tea towel, and the wrapping becomes a lasting gift too.
This giveaway will be really easy for you to sign up for.

Congratulations to *all* of you, Linda! It has been so neat to sort of be on this journey with you and your family, having the privilege to be praying along with you. It's been so very encouraging to see how God has answered prayer.
ReplyDeleteHave been looking at some of your college bakery recipes on your Pinterest. Oh, my, how decadent some of these sound ... the white chocolate s'mores bars and the Goo Goo Cluster® brownies. (We can often find packs of Goo Goo Clusters in our Dollar Tree store!)
Love your blog and Gooseberry Patch too ... have many of their cookbooks but would love to win another one!
Your blog is beautiful and so encouraging! I would love to win the cookbook and bake all those goodies, too.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the glazed lemon bread photo. It reminds me how much my honey loves lemon poppyseed anything especially with a sweet glaze dripping over it. I have figured out how to adapt recipes to be dairy & corn free so he can eat them.

How exciting to have finally reached the end in this adoption process! God bless you and yours! V is coming into a family which shares and shows much love. My son's adoption process seems to be on hold; the agency in Ethiopia is allowing fewer children out or something. They say it will be next year more than likely before my new little grandson will be here :( But all in God's timing...He makes no mistakes and knows the beginning from the end!
ReplyDeleteThose recipes you shared sound so luscious!
Such wonderful news about your new grandson! I always enjoy your blog and the picture of the lemon bread looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. You are a very creative lady! I love Gooseberry Patch books because they exemplify all good homey things as do you. Thanks for the chance to win.
