~♥ P E A C E ♥~

I know it's been awhile blogging friends...I'm sorry I haven't been around...lots on my mind and on my heart...lots of prayers have been said and today I received my answer...it came in the form of an email from "The Brave Girl's Club." 

 So for now, dear blogging friends, I'm going to say Good Bye...only the good Lord knows how long I'll be away...

~♥ It's An Honor ♥~

I have been a fan of Gooseberry Patch for many many years.  I honestly can't even remember when I started collecting their cookbooks, but once I bought one I couldn't stop.  I wish I had written in them when I got them so I would know which one was the first one I bought. 

I was asked last year to be an Early Bird Reviewer, which was an honor for me.  I had the opportunity to review, " Best Ever Cookies".  I love baking since I definitely have a sweet tooth.  I love to cook as well, but sweets have always been my first love!

When Jen from Gooseberry Patch contacted me and told me they wanted me to be fan of the week on their Gooseberry Patch Facebook Fan Page I was so excited...thank you so much Gooseberry Patch...I will always sing your praises!

Why not stop over and visit them?

~♥Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Review and Giveaway♥~

Well blogging friends, I've left you in suspense long enough...Gooseberry Patch contacted me about being an Early Bird Reviewer.

As a lover of cookies, and who isn't, I couldn't pass up the offer to review, "Best Ever Cookies".  It was very difficult to decide which cookies to try.  As usual, Gooseberry Patch came through with a wonderful selection of recipes.  There are eight categories to choose from...they are as follows:

Cookie Jar Classics

Holiday Cookies

All-American Cookies

Old-Fashioned Cookies

Best-Ever Brownies and Bars

Fast and Fun Cookies

Light and Healthy Cookies

Big-Batch Cookies

I finally decided to make Pecan Praline Cookies from the All-American Cookie Section.  These cookies were very quick and easy to make.  They were crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside.  It was all I could do to stop eating them (there goes my diet...lol)!

My second selection was Apricot Truffles from the Fast and Fun Cookie Section.  The hardest part of making these was chopping the apricots...after that, it was smooth sailing.  The truffles actually get better after a few days when all of the flavors blend together (the apricots got sweeter).  My husband loved them and he's usually only a lover of chocolate. 

If you love cookies and Gooseberry Patch, then you should definitely add this cookbook to your collection.  It would also make a great gift for a Bride-to-Be.  Along with the recipes, you will find helpful hints, ideas, and quotes at the bottom of the pages...this is one of my favorite features of the Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks. 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Would you like to have a copy of this cookbook?  Gooseberry Patch has graciously given me an extra copy of  "Best Ever Cookies" to give away to one lucky individual.  

Only one comment per person, please.
I will need an email address as well, if you don't have a blog.
