Win Garfield...Recipes with Cattitude!

Is there any cat who enjoys comfort food more than Garfield? We don't know of one, and when the opportunity to team up with Jim Davis to create a cookbook came around, we couldn't resist!

Filled with lasagna (of course!) and hundreds more recipes that stick to your ribs, Garfield...Recipes with Cattitude! is a treat for anyone who enjoys homestyle recipes or the wit of this famous feline.

Simple and satisfying recipes for every meal of the day (plus an extra dinnertime chapter!) the cookbook also features plenty of the lighthearted artwork, in Garfield's signature style, that longtime fans of his will love.

All winners have been notified by email.

 

Thanks again to everyone who shared a recipe. They're ALL eligible to be included in our upcoming cookbooks...here's Kelly's winning recipe!

Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato-Apple Soup
Kelly writes, "This is a warming, delicious sweet soup perfect for the cold fall and winter months! Top with cheese and serve with hot rolls for a filling weeknight dinner. Because you purée this soup in the end, you could leave the sweet potato skins on for a fiber boost."

2 lbs. sweet potatoes
1/4 c. water
1 apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 c. broth or water
salt and pepper to taste

Place unpeeled sweet potatoes in a baking pan; add water. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Remove from oven; let sweet potatoes cool and peel off skins, if desired. Transfer sweet potatoes to a slow cooker; add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Purée soup with an immersion blender, food processor or regular blender.

Stay tuned for lots more chances to win...coming soon!

Winner of our Chinet® Giveaway!

Remember when we asked for
your favorite comfort food recipes?

We have drawn a winner and her name is...

Wendi Knowles of Pittsfield, Maine!

 

 She'll receive a prize package provided by Chinet® that includes one of each
of these bakeware pieces, plus a fun apron. Congratulations, Wendy!

 

We thought you might want to try Wendy's recipe...we sure do!

Chicken Cacciatore
Wendy writes, "This was the first recipe I made when I was about 16 years old. I was making dinner for my boyfriend, who later became my husband.  I didn't know all the cooking vocabulary then, and my mom actually cracked up laughing when she came in the kitchen to find me "patting" the chicken dry. (I was just slapping it with my bare hands!) I have since learned to look up any instructions I may not understand."

3-lb. broiler-roaster chicken, cut up
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. olive oil
2 c. onion, sliced thinly
1/2 c. green pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. red wine or chicken broth
15-oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
8-oz. can tomato sauce
4-oz. can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 t. salt
1/4 t. dried oregano

Pat chicken dry; coat with flour. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place chicken in skillet; cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate; cover with aluminum foil and set aside. Add onion, green pepper and garlic to drippings in skillet; cook and stir until vegetables are tender. Add wine or broth to skillet; scraping up the brown bits in bottom of skillet, Add remaining ingredients; stir until blended. Return chicken to skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook for about one hour, until chicken is tender and cooked through (180 degrees on a meat thermometer). Serves 6.

 

Thanks to everyone who shared their tried & true recipes.
They are ALL still in the running to be published in an upcoming
cookbook, and if yours is selected, you'll hear from us!

So, you might be wondering, how do I enter?

It's easy! Starting right now, pin anything from our blog or our website. It could be your favorite cookbook, a recipe, free goodies or whatever you like! Once you've chosen something to pin, tag us by adding @gooseberrypatch to the description when you pin and that's it...you'll be entered to win!

This little contest will run through Monday, February 19th at 12pm, EST. That'll give you all next week to pin some Gooseberry Patch love to your heart's content.

Enter as many times as you like...we'll choose a winner at random and announce it here on our blog.

Be sure to come back Tuesday, 2/20/12
to see who won!


If you're just getting started on Pinterest - or haven't started yet! - we thought you might have some questions. See if you can find your answers below, and if not, leave us a comment and we'll try to help!

I'm not a member of Pinterest and I need an invite!

Drop us a note and we'll send you an invite. Although we can't guarantee Pinterest membership, we're pretty sure you'll be pinning in no time! Once you're a member, it's really easy to get started and there's a helpful Pinning 101 section that answers lots of beginners' questions.

 

I'm already a member but I've never pinned anything...what do I do?

If you haven't already, we recommend that you install the Pin It button on your browser toolbar. It's the easiest way we've found to pin from wherever you are.

Once you have the button, it's as simple as clicking around our website or our blog and finding something good to share!

 

What the heck is a Pin It button?

It's the neatest little thing and you can grab it from the Pinterest Goodies page. Click here to get started -- you might have to scroll UP to find it. There's even a video that'll walk you through how to install.

Once this little shortcut is installed, it lets you grab an image from any website and add it to one of your pinboards. When you pin from a website, it automatically grabs the link from the page where you're pinning, so the original source is credited.

 

Here's what you'll see when you pin something from our website...

Click the Pin It button in your toolbar and you'll see this...

How do I tag Gooseberry Patch?

When you choose an image to tag from our blog or website, you'll have an opportunity to add a description. Enter @gooseberrypatch in that field, along with what it is or why you love it, and that's it...we're tagged and we can find your entry!

 Are repins okay?

Yes, as long as what you're repinning is linked back to our website or our blog, you are welcome to repin anything from around Pinterest, including our boards. Just be sure to check the original source!

 

I'm not interested in Pinterest!

That's okay! Stay tuned for lots more fun ways to win here on our blog and on our Page on Facebook too! Maybe you'd like to download some Free Goodies instead?

        - Aimee Anselmo-Rahier

I am in the Air Force and the editor of our base weekly newspaper, so deadlines are always in my face. My lunch is usually something I can grab quickly. Today I grabbed two pieces of bread because I knew I had PB2 (powdered peanut butter) in my desk. No time for jelly. My teen daughter is having pretzels (she's an athlete and she is always headed to practice or a game.) Please help us find a way to eat better. Thanks for the opportunity... back to work!

It's awesome that you are having a giveaway for that soups, salads and sandwhiches cookbook. For lunch today I am having dead asparagus. It is mushy but I faithfully brought it yesterday (and did not eat it), so there in the fridge down the hall, it waits for me for today! I attempted to steam it with garlic salt because I was in a hurry. This lunch definitely needs a makeover! Some quick way to make asparagus so that I still get the green in for the day!

A New Kind of Feature!

Part of the fun of our recent Send Us Your Receipts contest was seeing all the stores where you're finding Gooseberry Patch cookbooks & calendars.

We've chosen a winner and her name will be announced in November's edition of Feather Your Nest, arriving in inboxes tomorrow! As part of the celebration, we're shining a spotlight on the store where the winner purchased her book...it's a brand new kind of feature!

If you're ever in Bettendorf, Iowa, be sure to stop by Ann's Hallmark on Devil's Glen Road. We asked owners Ann & Max Kramer to share a little about their store with us.

Tell us a little bit about your store and the town where you're located.

The store was established at its current Bettendorf location  approximately 35 years ago. It began as a Hallmark party goods store and eventually became a Hallmark Gold Crown Store. My wife, Ann & I have owned the store the last 10 years and basically changed it’s focus from cards, candles and collectibles to a more boutique feel, offering home décor, fashion accessories & gourmet food. Six years ago, we opened a second store location in East Moline, IL.

Bettendorf, Iowa is a town of approximately 35,000 people on the banks of the Mississippi River and it's  about 3 hours west of Chicago on I-80.  It's one part of what is known as the Quad Cities metropolitan area and has a total population of about 380,000. The Rock Island Arsenal, Alcoa & John Deere are major employers in the area.

How long have you been carrying Gooseberry Patch cookbooks & calendars?

We’ve carried Gooseberry Patch about  2-1/2 years and it’s proven to be great gift item. They complement our other gourmet food offerings.

Which title is your customers' favorite lately?

A current customer-favorite title is 101 Autumn Recipes. Our readers seem to favor the spiral-bound titles with color photos of the completed recipes. Another popular item are the smaller, spiral-bound Our Favorites series...these seem to go well as add-on gifts.

Anything else you'd like to let our readers know about your store?

Our associates have personally made a lot of the Gooseberry Patch recipes with great success. It's made sales a relatively easy activity for them!

Here's what you'll find when you're shopping at Ann's Hallmark...
thanks for sharing with us, Ann & Max!

Want to find a store like Ann's Hallmark
in YOUR neighborhood?
Visit our Store Locator and search by zip code!

Check your inboxes tomorrow to find out WHO won this contest...we'll announce it in the November edition of Feather Your Nest! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who entered.
