A Review for Fresh From the Farmstand Gooseberry Patch Cookbook!

Hello sweet ladies!

Here is our little gathering place that we have been doing a lot of chatting and eating at. We have been enjoying it so much! We will be building another one that is going to be attached to this one, so when our whole family is here we will have more room. It will be nice for the college kids also! 

Gooseberry Patch was asking if anyone wanted to do a cookbook review. I said.......yes!!!!!! One of my very favorite cookbooks is called...... 

Fresh from the Farmstand

this can be bought here if you click on the name. It is also in Kindle form. This cookbook is filled with so many wonderful and using fresh ingredients. If you have produce from your garden or when you buy at the farmer's markets you will have good meals for your family and friends. 

Summer is a favorite time for using all the veggies and fruits from my garden. Right now we are getting cucumber, rhubarb, basil and the tomatoes are right around the corner. We have also been buying blueberries, raspberries and blackberries at the store.....they have had really good prices at ours.........perfect for summer time baking.

Optional: 6 green onions, chopped

1/2 c cider vinegar

1/3 c. oil

1/2 c. sugar

1 t. salt, or more to taste

1 t. pepper, or more to taste

Mix corn kernels and remaining vegetables together in a bowl. In a sparate bowl, combine remaining ingredients: whisk until well mixed. Add dressing to vegetables; toss to mix. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Serves 6. 

At the bottom of Gooseberry Patch cookbooks pages they have illustration and little helpful hints.......and crafty ideas. Here is one......if you're husking heaps of sweet corn, here's an easy tip! Pull on a pair of rubber gloves, then give each cob a quick twist between gloved hands. The cornsilk will rub right off. 

Our Vitaliy, just got a job on a farm not far from his home working  on counting and packaging corn in boxes to be taken to stores and roadside stands. He is loving it. He gets up at 5 to beat the heat and is done at 12. He is growing up to be a very precious young man. He has goals for his life here in America.....he loves the Lord..... love watching his story unfold. 

Hope you enjoyed the review for the Fresh from the Farmstand Cookbook. It is a good one......of course.....they always have something good from Gooseberry Patch don't they?
