Gooseberry Patch

We're in Where Women Cook!

We're thrilled to be a part of one of our
favorite magazines, Where Women Cook!

Here's a sneak peek at the feature...

You can get this current issue online or wherever you buy your favorite magazines, and really, it's so much MORE than a magazine.

Each is packed with dozens of interviews and features, hundreds of beautiful photos and of course, the recipes - we counted 30 in this issue alone! These quarterly issues are more like softcover books that you'll want to save on your shelf. With 160 pages each and featuring such pretty spine colors, they're definitely keepers!

We shared some Behind the Scenes photos in our holiday edition of Feather Your Nest...click the images below to take a peek at a few more!

We had so much fun chatting between takes
with everyone who came for the shoot!

 

There's Jo Packham, the creator and editor-in-chief of Where Women Cook, sampling the delicious Crustless Pumpkin Pie shared in the magazine.

 

Getting all the ingredients ready for Vickie's Tomato Pie...mmmm!

There it is...we'd love a scoop right now. Wouldn't you?

 

Thanks for letting us toot our Gooseberry Patch horn today
and remember, if you can't find Where Women Cook where
YOUR favorite magazines are sold, you can always
order the issue (or a subscription!) online.

Her most recent published recipe appears in our book, Dinners on a Dime...we thought we'd share it with you today!

Cranberry-Pineapple Salad

20-ounce can crushed pineapple,
    drained and juice reserved
2  3-ounce packages
    strawberry gelatin mix
16-ounce can whole-berry
    cranberry sauce
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 Gala apple, cored,
    peeled and diced

Combine reserved pineapple juice with enough water to measure 2-1/2 cups. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour juice mixture over dry gelatin mix in a large serving bowl. Stir for 2 minutes, until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in pineapple and remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-1/2 hours, until set. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Her recipe appears in our book, 101 Slow-Cooker Recipes, and it's one you'll want to hang onto!

As a special nod to Shari, we thought we'd share her easy
chicken recipe here too.

Provincial Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2  15-oz. cans diced tomatoes
2 zucchini, diced
10-3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. dried, minced onion
2 T. dried parsley
1 t. dried basil
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 c. sour cream
cooked bowtie pasta

In a slow-cooker, combine chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, soup, vinegar, onion and herbs. Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours. Remove chicken, cut into bite-size pieces and return to slow cooker. Stir in cheese and sour cream; cover and cook an additional 15 minutes. Spoon over cooked pasta to serve. Serves 6.
