Calendar Choices 2020!

I was going to just post this on my Homesteaders Heart Facebook page but it got a little long winded so I decided to just do a quick blog post. You’re welcome.

The year is winding down and as we get ready for the upcoming holidays, I like to do a little thinking ahead.

I don’t know about you but I love a cute and fun calendar to hang on my wall. It’s just nice to quickly glance up and see what day it is (because half the time you don’t know)  or to look at a picture that just makes you smile for that month or to quickly jot down an appointment that you swear you’ll remember but know you won’t so you write it down “just to be safe.” etc. etc.

I’m going to show you which ones I chose for next year. I buy 2 because I put one in my kitchen and one in my office/craft room.

The first one is the Gooseberry Patch calendar. Now some of you who go way back with me might remember when I used to collab with Gooseberry Patch and review and give away their cookbooks. I will forever hold Gooseberry Patch close to my heart and loved the opportunity they gave me when blogging was still a big thing. I’ve had their calendars hanging in my kitchen for years and still love them!

The bonus thing about the Gooseberry Patch calendar is that every month there is a new recipe to try.

Now the second one I chose is the Lang Bountiful Blessings calendar. The pictures each month are just so fun and down homey. You can’t help but smile at each one.

 I purchase my calendars from Hobby Lobby on two separate trips so I can use my 40% coupon on them, which makes them VERY affordable.

Do you still do wall calendars? And if so, what are your favorites?

Have a lovely day my peeps!

It’s no secret that I love shepherd’s pie. It’s comfort food at its best. So when I saw this recipe in there which was a bit different from the one I make I knew I had to try it. And guess what? I LOVED it. I think it is my new go to shepherd’s pie recipe.

Go on, give it a try.

Tina’s Simple Shepherd’s Pie

Ingredients:

2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

1 c. frozen peas

1-1/2 t. fresh rosemary, chopped

Balsamic Chicken and Penne

Here is another recipe out of the new Gooseberry Patch cookbook, Mom Knows Best (affiliate link). The review and giveaway for it will be coming very soon. Stay tuned.

I really liked this recipe. The marinade was fabulous and really made the dish. So easy to prepare too, which is a plus in my book.

Here’s the recipe if you wanna give it a try. Anything in Italics are my own personal thoughts cause sometimes you need to know things. *smile*

Balsamic Chicken & Penne

Ingredients:

1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

2 T. country Dijon mustard (I am in love with this stuff, like totally)

2 T. sugar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. cayenne pepper, or to taste

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8-oz pkg. whole-wheat penne pasta, uncooked (I used GF pasta)

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, chopped and steamed

Optional: shredded Parmesan cheese (Which in my book isn’t optional because everything is better with cheese. And bacon. But that’s another story.)

Directions:

In a large plastic zipping bag, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, sugar, garlic and seasonings. Squeeze bag to mix well. Add chicken to bag; turn to coat. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight, turning bag occasionally. When ready to prepare chicken, drain marinade into a saucepan; heat to boiling for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Broil chicken until juices run clear, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. To serve, combine chicken, marinade, asparagus and pasta. Toss to coat. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Makes 8 servings.

Garden Sloppy Joes

This recipe comes from the new Gooseberry Patch Cookbook, Mom Knows Best (affiliate link). I’ll be doing my review and giveaway for a copy very soon so keep your eyes peeled. Let me start off by saying that I love sloppy joes and I know there are a lot of recipes out there but the one thing I loved about this one is that it had a lot more veggies mixed in so that the meat goes a lot further. The fact that it was delicious is a bonus.

There is no bun in the picture because we didn’t have any gluten free buns on hand so we ate it with some gluten free biscuits that I had made and it was still delicious. But typically you’re going to want to eat this as more of a sandwich.

Here’s the recipe so you can give it a try.

Garden Sloppy Joes

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 c. onion, chopped

1 green pepper, finely diced

2 carrots, peeled and grated

1 tomato, diced

1 tomato, pureed

3 T. brown sugar, packed

3 T. catsup

2 T. Worcestershire sauce

1 T. garlic salt

1 t. balsamic vinegar

10 Whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Directions:

In a large soup pot over medium heat, brown beef with onion, pepper and carrots; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients except buns. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, scoop onto toasted buns.

Makes 10 servings.

You can find this recipe on page 106 of Mom Knows Best Cookbook (affiliate link).

And trust me, there are TONS of recipes to choose from.  Something for everyone. I’ve made a few already.

Make-Ahead Chipotle Burritos

Slow Cooked Meatloaf

I also made the Festive Pumpkin Bread Pudding and took a bunch of pictures of it and everything, but let’s just say it wasn’t very photogenic. In fact my kids kept saying that it looked like chicken. LOL! I think I chopped my bread cubes a little too big, BUT let me just say that it tasted really good regardless of its looks. *smile*

I can’t wait to try the Seasoned Turkey Breast, Italian Mozzarella Chicken, the Holiday Cider, Spiced & Sugared Nuts and so many more.

If you want to check out even more yummy recipes from this cookbook you can check out the pin board HERE.

Now don’t think that this cookbook is only full of delicious recipes, on no, it’s also filled with those wonderful tips that’s Gooseberry Patch if famous for. So make sure you take the time to read those wonderful little tid bits on each page.

Here are a few of the great ideas: For lots of sparkle, set a plump candle in a clear dish and surround it with rock salt.

Pull out your oversize coffee mugs when serving soup. They’re just right for sharing hearty servings, and the handles make them so easy to hold onto.

For a simple winter centerpiece, arrange mini figurines on a cake stand, dust with glittery mica snow, then add the clear glass cover…charming! 

Now that I have you all excited about this cookbook, how would you like a chance to win it? I always try to make this as easy as possible so read carefully on how to enter.

First off this giveaway is for the Gooseberry Patch cookbook; Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites. I will select one winner using Random.org. This is open to the U.S. and Canada only.

Slow-Cooked Meatloaf

Here is another yummy recipe out of the new Gooseberry Patch cookbook Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites. (affiliate link)

I have to admit that when I first thought of trying this recipe I was a bit skeptical. I mean I’ve been making meatloaf the same way for many years now so it wasn’t easy for me to try something new. Because after all why fix what’s not broken right? But I gave it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised.

First off it had really good flavor. Totally different from my recipe and the convenience of the slow cooker made it even more appealing. Though I did make a note of something that I will do next time as I had one thing not turn out exactly right. One side of the meatloaf started to fall apart while the other side was intact. I think it was because the juices gathered on the one side. Next time I’ll take some of the juices out so it doesn’t rest in it. But I will be making it again so that tells you something. *smile* That and I wouldn’t be posting it if it weren’t good. Each recipe I make has to get the seal of approval from the family before I’ll post it on my blog.

Slow-Cooked Meatloaf

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 c. milk

3 slices bread, torn into small pieces

1 t. salt

1/2 t. pepper

1 c. catsup, divided

2 lbs. ground beef

1/2 c. onion, diced

1 oz. pkg. ranch salad dressing mix

In a large bowl, mix eggs, milk, bread crumbs, salt and pepper; let stand for 20 minutes. Add 1/2 cup catsup and remaining ingredients. Mix gently; mound in a greased slow cooker. Spread remaining catsup over top. Cover and cook on high setting for 15 minutes. Turn to low setting and cook for 7 hours.

Serves 6 to 8.

Here’s what it looked like from the start.

You just mound it in there and walk away. Easy peasy.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Make-Ahead Chipotle Burritos

Right now I’m reviewing another great Gooseberry Patch cookbook called Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites. (affiliate link) It’s pretty fabulous but I’ll wait until my giveaway to give you all the reasons why I love it.

But for now I’m going to be giving you an opportunity to check out a few recipes that I’ve tried from the book.

This first one was really good. It got thumbs up from the family.

Make-Ahead Chipotle Burritos

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 15-1/2 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed

2 11-0z. cans corn, drained

20-oz. jar salsa (I used Tequila Lime Salsa)

1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped

2 t. chili powder

2 t. ground cumin

2 t. dried oregano

1 T. salt

flour or corn tortillas

Garnish: sour cream, sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese

Divide chicken between 2 one-gallon plastic zipping freezer bags; set aside. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except tortillas and garnish; divide between bags. Seal and flatten bags; freeze. To prepare, thaw one bag in refrigerator for 24 hours; place contents of bag in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 hours, until chicken is very tender. Remove chicken and shred using 2 forks. Return chicken to slow cooker; stir to mix. Serve chicken mixture on tortillas, garnished as desired. Serves 6.

(I was in a rush this day so I didn’t freeze anything before hand and I cooked it on high for just 4 hours. I halved the recipe and put the ingredients into the crockpot and mixed it up. It turned out great. I used corn tortillas because we have to use gluten free stuff but we are probably going to use hard taco shells next time as the soft ones kinda fell apart. Flour tortillas would probably work really well too. And if you haven’t seen this trick to shredding chicken you’ll want to check it out. It’ll save you serious time and effort. Click HERE. )

Here’s what it looked like after I shredded the chicken and mixed it all together in the crockpot. YUM!

Enjoy!

Grilling and Campfire Cooking Cookbook Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Kimberly.

I love this cookbook. It’s going down as one of my favorites in this series of cookbooks.

My intent was to make and post more than two recipes but life got in the way and I’m just now able to even offer it up in a giveaway. But I hope you do enjoy the two that I’ll be linking to later on in this post.

First off let’s take a look at the Table of Contents.

 

If you’re into camping and grilling or even if you’re not, you are going to enjoy this cookbook. So many new and exciting recipes. Like Tangy Peach-Glazed Chicken, Summertime Goulash, Snippy Snappy Coleslaw and so many more.

Here are the two recipes that I tried. They both received thumbs up from the family.

Black Bean Turkey Burgers with Avocado & Onion Slaw

Butter Pecan Ice Cream

And if you want even more yummy recipes from this cookbook. Check out the Gooseberry Patch website and Pinterest Board.

One of my favorite things about these Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are the handy tips on almost every page. For instance, I loved this tip: An old oven rack makes a handy grate for cooking over a campfire. Prop it on several logs or large stones. Seriously, what a great idea. Or how about this idea. Pull out your oversize coffee mugs when serving soups, stews and chili ‘round the campfire. They’re just right for sharing hearty servings, and the handles make them so easy to hold onto.

So who wants to win a copy of this wonderful cookbook? Well I’m going to make it easy on ya. Just answer this question.

What is your favorite thing to grill?

This giveaway is open to U.S and Canada only. Giveaway ends on Friday, May 16th 2014.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream

I knew when I spotted this dessert in the new Grilling and Campfire Cooking cookbook (affiliate link) from Gooseberry Patch, I was going to make it. And boy howdy, am I glad I did.

We all loved it!

Butter Pecan Ice Cream

1/3 c. chopped pecans

1 T. butter

1 c. brown sugar, packed 

1-1/2 c. half and half

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 c. whipping cream

1 t. vanilla extract

In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté pecans in butter until lightly golden, stirring frequently. Set aside. In a saucepan over low heat, stir together brown sugar, half-and half and eggs until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in cream, vanilla and pecans. Pour mixture into an ice cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Makes 4 servings.

It had a nice soft serve consistency. If you want it firmer you could put it in the freezer for a little bit. I will be making this again for sure. So yummy and such a nice treat.

You can find this on page 208 of the Grilling and Campfire Cooking cookbook. (affiliate link)

I used this ice cream maker to make this.

I could have eaten all of it. But I don’t think my family would have gone for that. They were hovering like vultures. *smile*

Black Bean Turkey Burgers

I’m getting ready to review another wonderful and fun Gooseberry Patch cookbook called Grilling and Campfire Cooking (affiliate link) and this is one of the recipes I’ll be sharing with you from it.

I’m always on the lookout for a new burger recipe. You know, something to kick it up a notch and make it different. Well this recipe was a hit with the whole family.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

 

Black Bean Turkey Burgers

1-1/4 lbs. ground turkey

3/4 c. canned black beans, drained, rinsed and lightly mashed

1 c. tortilla chips, crushed

1 T. chili powder

1 T. ground cumin

salt and pepper to taste

6 hamburger buns, split

In a large bowl, combine turkey, beans, tortilla chips and seasonings. Mix well with your hands and form into 6 patties. Grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve burgers on buns, topped with a scoop of Avocado & Onion Slaw. Makes 6 servings.

Avocado & Onion Slaw

3 T. mayonaisse

1 T. vinegar

1/4 t. salt

1 avocado, halved, pitted and cubed

1/2 c. onion, thinly sliced

Mix together mayonnaise, vinegar and salt until well combined. Stir in avocado and onion.

I used our George Foreman grill to cook these and they came out really juicy and yummy. We also opted out of using buns since we are gluten free and all but I think you can taste the burgers and the slaw that much more because of it. *smile*

You can find this recipe on page 53 of the Grilling and Campfire Cooking cookbook (affiliate link).

101 SUPER-EASY Slow-Cooker RECIPES Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Happy Valley Primitives.

Oh happy day, I have another giveaway. Isn’t that exciting? I think it is because I have another great cookbook to give away to you. And if you’re like me, you love using your crockpot and are always on the lookout for some new delicious recipes. It’s a total win win situation here. So here is your sneak peek at “101 Super-Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes”. (affiliate link)

Let’s not waste any time here. Let’s jump right into what this cookbook is all about.

First off I love this series of cookbooks. Every page has a finished picture of the recipe which I love. It also offers a wide variety of recipes. From mains to sides to desserts and appetizers. There is something for everyone. AND the recipes are super easy. No fancy smancy ingredients that you can’t find anywhere. I love that!!

The unique thing about this particular cookbook is that it breaks the recipes down into time increments. Which is cool because depending on how much time you have you can find a recipe to meet that time slot.

So the contents look like this.

I’ve recently made two of the yummy recipes in this cookbook. The first is:

The Easiest Rice Pudding

And the second one is Fantastic 40 Clove Chicken

I think you’ll like them. Other recipes that have caught my eye are Perfect Pumpkin Apple Cake, Chipotle-Black Bean Dip, Beans Southwestern Style, Squash Chickpea and Lentil Stew and so many more.

You can always check out the Pinterest board for this cookbook as other reviewers add their delicious recipes as well. AND you can go to the Gooseberry Patch website where they have more free recipes from the cookbook. Isn’t it totally cool of Gooseberry Patch to give you such a huge glimpse of a cookbook by sharing so many of the recipes before you buy it? I think it is.

So I bet you’d like to know how to win this baby. Well I’m going to make it super duper easy today. All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post telling me what you’re looking most forward to this Spring. This giveaway is open until Friday, April 4th 2014.

The giveaway is open to U.S and Canadian residents only. Gooseberry Patch provided me with a book to review and to give away. All opinions are my own.

You can always stay connected with Gooseberry Patch on their Facebook page and you can stay connected with Homesteader’s Heart on my Facebook page.

Have a lovely day my friends.
