"A Bend in the Road. When we feel we have nothing left to give & we are sure that the song has ended, When our day seems over & the shadows fall & the darkness of the night has descended, Where we can go to find the strength to valiantly keep on trying? Where can we find the hand that will dry the tears that the heart is crying? There's but one place to go & that is to God, & dropping all pretence & pride, we can pour out our problems without restraint & gain strength with Him at our side. And together we stand at life's cross roads & view what we think is the end, but God has a much bigger vision, & He tells us it's only a bend. For the road goes on and is smoother, and the pause in the song is a rest, & the part that's unsung & unfinished is the sweetest & richest & best. So rest & relax & grow stronger. Let go & let God share your load. Your work is not finished or ended, you've just come to a bend in the road".$34.99 -

Traffic Schools in Jerome, ID
If you have received a traffic ticket in Idaho, then a Idaho State Approved Traffic School is a great way to dismiss your traffic ticket and lose the points from your driving records. I Drive Safely is a good choice for Idaho traffic school online.
The successful completion of a course from one of the approved Idaho traffic schools may prevent violations from damaging your driving record. While in many cases a course just might get a traffic ticket dismissed, attending traffic school can also enhance your driving knowledge and skill level, and it may increase your overall safety awareness so that you, your family, and other drivers can be safer on the roads.

The Constitutional Right to Vote Blog: Bush v. Gore, Ten Years Later
- Posted: December 14, 2010
- Author(s): Right to Vote Blog, Jo McKeegan
- Categories: National Popular Vote, Right to Vote Amendment, FairVote
Ten years ago, in December of 2000, the Supreme Court decided Bush v. Gore. The case remains one of the more dividing litmus tests in American politics.
Incentives to vote: A trivial carrot or a reliable solution for increasing voting turnout?
- Posted: December 9, 2010
- Author(s): Wael Abdel Hamid
- Categories: Home, FairVote
Voter turnout is abnormally low in the United States - -and closely correlates by eligible voter's level of education and income. Compulsory voting can act as a stick to force voter turnout, but another approach is to encourage people to go to the polls by creating incentives to vote. Just as compulsory voting is not a clear cut issue, such reward-based practices can have their advantages and their disadvantages.

This 2010 edition is intended to not only serve as a guide to those already "in the know" such as academics and experts on emerging trends in gerrymandering, but also to introduce students, and policymakers to the variety of ways in which redistricting affects the day to day lives of citizens.
GOP Rolls the Dice in 2012 with Plurality, Winner-Take-All Rules
- Posted: December 2, 2010

No elected office in the world matters more than the presidency of the United States. Given that reality, it's remarkable that our method of electing it can have such flaws.
Who Will Own the Millennial Vote?

1992 was a big year for me. My band Nirvana not only had a number one record, we were credited for transforming rock music itself. There was not only a musical realignment that year; young people, a coveted demographic, were also paying attention to the presidential election...
From the "Non-Majority Rule" Desk: Post-Election Wrap-Up, IRV in Oakland, and Looking to 2012
- Posted: November 23, 2010
- Author(s): The Non-Majority Rule Desk, Chris Marchsteiner
- Categories: Instant Runoff Voting/Ranked Choice Voting
The counting and recounting of ballots in the 2010 elections is nearly over. In a final wrap-up blog from the Non-Majority Rule desk, we review the role of so-called "spoilers" in a few more very close elections. We also offer a preview of what's in store in 2012, starting with the wide-open contest for the Republican nomination, and highlight media attention to a city offering a better means to elect winners: Oakland, with its ranked choice system of instant runoff voting.
North Carolina uses Instant Runoff Voting for state, county-wide elections
- Posted: November 3, 2010
- Author(s): Rob Richie
- Categories: Instant Runoff Voting/Ranked Choice Voting
This fall North Carolina held the first statewide general election with instant runoff voting (IRV) in the nation's history to fill federal judge Jim Wynn's vacancy in on the Court of Appeals. Three Superior Court vacancies were also filled with instant runoff voting. Initial results suggest that voters in the state handled IRV well.
Ranked-Choice Voting in Oakland May Surprise – But for a Good Reason
- Posted: November 1, 2010
- Author(s): Toby Rowe
Oakland voters have been told more than once this year to "expect the unexpected" in the race to replace outgoing mayor Ron Dellums. Ten candidates seek the office, making for a crowded and diverse field of contenders. This fascinating mayoral election occurs in the first year that Oakland voters will use ranked-choice voting (RCV) to elect their representatives in municipal government.

Election Day: A Reminder about the Urgent Need for a Constitutionally Protected Right to Vote
- Posted: October 28, 2010
- Author(s): Jo McKeegan
- Categories: Right to Vote Amendment
As part a proposal to revamp our current election procedures, we should expand the practice of same-day voter registration (also called Election Day Registration), which is now the law in several states, and the District of Columbia. Same day registration (SDR) allows voters to register the day they cast a ballot. It has been known to increase voter turnout by as much as 12%.

- Attractive
- attrative
- Fits In The Window Casing
- Led So It Is Efficient
Best Uses
We have lots of windows so this product works well for us
used these for christmas window decor and kept them in the window ,since they add just a touch of light and a little more interest year round!
I bought these so that I wouldn't have to worry if they stayed in place and so I could have my new bottom up honeycomb shades down and still have a good seal on the shade for insulation purposes. This was assuming that with the light in place the shade could sit on the sill of the window. Unfortunately the "candlestick" juts out too far for a good seal. I kept them because with the light on I don't need to worry about burning the shade or starting a fire. The glow is warm and golden which I like - not too yellow. I had one bulb that was decidedly less bright and a call to the Gardener Supply yielded not one but two replacement bulbs which solved the problem. They actually arrived the next day! I love coming home at night to see my candles glowing in my two front windows and will keep them there throughout the winter months. The lights turn on and off automatically with the sensors in the "flame" part. Also, these are good looking in daylight, too. My only complaint is that they are not tighter to the window so my shades are flush and keeping a tighter seal on the window - hence one less star than perfect.
- Very Attractive Candles
- Didn~'~~t Fit My Windows
Best Uses
- Great for Christmas
I had to return because the candle sticks didn't fit my windows which was an error on my part.
I just recently lost my husband. It felt good to display candlesticks in my window this Christmas to celebrate 52-1/2 years of our life together, including other dear ones.
- Enjoyed The Convenience
Best Uses
Although I had read some of the negative comments about this candle, I ordered four of them and have enjoyed the " no hazzle " display. Nice to have in the windows
If you have tilt-in easy-cleaning window panes, these window candles do not fit under the sash! Tilt-in window panes have a thumb ridge right above the sash so that you can open and close the windows. Unlike standard windows, that ridge sticks out and won't let you stick them the candle stands under the sash and close the window. I've had to create a freestanding stand for each candle to make it work. Please note what kind of windows you have before you purchase this item!
- Beautiful candles
Best Uses
We chose the pewter finish and bought four for our front bow window. They are crank out windows and at first I thought there would be an issue because they aren't the traditional up/down type. No worries, they fit in fine. And look beautiful, both inside and out. They remind me of when I was little and my mom & dad would decorate every window in the house with candles. I'm going to order more for the kitchen and bedroom windows too. Thanks for adding such Christmas ambiance to our home.
- Battery Operated
- Light sensor
- Yellow light
Best Uses
These candles work well but the directions are awful. I had to call Customer Service to get instructions for how to activate the light sensor. Small hint, the sensing eye is in the base of the light bulb. The sensor needs to be directed to the street in order to sense the change in sunlight and turn on and off. The only bad thing about these lights is that the glow is orangey yellow and you can't buy replacement bulbs. I had to return them but if yellow is what you need these are a good buy.

We end up calling them Sofa Pillows.
Unroll one tube of crescent rolls and layer in bottom of pan, pressing seams together.
I could so use a book full of shortcuts! What mom of a toddler couldn't? ;) Love love love your site! Thanks for all the great recipes!!
ReplyDeleteUsing cake mixes and pre-made biscuits, then adding to them to change up what you make is the best tip I use. Would love to win the cookbook :)...email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI use cake mixes to make dump cakes, everything is just dumped into the cake pan. I roll out biscuits to make hot pockets. I also chop up my onions and green peppers and freeze for later use. I buy the chopped bacon from the salad bar at the grocery store. It is precooked and chopped and I can get about 2 cups for $1.00. I keep it frozen in the freezer, ready to use.
ReplyDeleteI separate my ground meats into appx. 1 pound balls and put them into freezer baggies. Then I get all of the air out of the baggies and smash the balls flat. This makes the meat easier to store and defrosting a thin layer is SO much easier than a hunk of meat!!! I can take out a pound of meat and be ready to cook it in less than 15 minutes. A must-have trick in a house with an 11 year old who is involved in everything under the sun and a mom who is a full-time college student! Regardless of whether I win or not, I hope this helps someone out there!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm 74 years old and bake quite a bit. Recently, I remembered what we did in Home Ec when I was young. Thatis, to get all the ingredients out and line them upon the counter befor I start to bake and I don't have to keep running back and forth to get anything. Also, I use Rachael Ray's garbage bowl, which saves a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of shortcuts at the moment. But I'd love to win this cookbook! I collect these Gooseberry book almost everything I cook and bake comes from this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great looking recipeI love Goosberry books they are awesome would love to add this one to my collection.
I can use the cookbook to help me spend more time with my family! The cookbook looks like it has amazing receipes that my family will love! Thanks for all that you do.

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have 4 hungry kiddos so a cook book like this could help us save some time
With three very busy and very hungry teenagers, I'm always looking for helpful hints and shortcuts to make our daily routine a little less complicated. Please enter me for the awesome give-away - thank you.
Michelle @ email@example.com
Love your recipes because it's usually so easy to cut them in half for the two of us, or make more by doubling or tripling for a potluck. Rainy and nasty here today so trying your Crock Pot Lasagna for the first time. Following up with the Sopapilla for dessert. Have to splurge once in awhile! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and grandchild will be moving in with me this week. I think I'm going to need all the shortcuts I can get! Love all your recipes. Thank you! firstname.lastname@example.com Karen
My name is Sandy and I love baking... have since I was in 8th grade. A cookbook like this would help a single mom like me tremendously. I'm usually busy either working, doing something with/for my 15 yr old son or going to different types of church events.

Hi! One of my short-cuts in the kithen for a quick and easy family meal is to use a bag of frozen meatballs and add some brown gravy to them, instant potatoes and a veggie on the side. Or to make it Italian, use jarred spaghetti sauce and add a salad and garlic bread. Thanks and good luck to everyone!
Hey Brandie! I would love to win this cookbook! Since we moved a few months ago, I have to work later and don't have as much time in the kitchen. And I really want to make the sopapilla cheesecake. It looks so yummy! My email is email@example.com
ReplyDeleteLove these cookbooks and who in their right mind wouldnt want to learn of any shortcuts??? thanks for the chance to win one!!
ReplyDeleteI am in my 50's and returning to school (YIKES) I could so use this book...
I always clean up as I go along. It's a good way to stay organized and saves time.
I need sum shortcuts! :-) Hi!
I love to keep my dishes done up as I am cooking...less to do afterwards :)
goebel75 at hotmail dot com
Love your blog! Love the recipes we have tried so far! What mom with busy hungry boys couldn't use short cuts?!
I would love to get my hands on this Newest Cook Book! WAHOO...it looks like a good one!
One of my favorite "short cuts" in the kitchen is to save extra tomato sauce, spaghetti Sauce or Pizza Sauce in a ice tray. Just pour it in, freeze then pop them into a freezer zip lock baggie. You can add them to any recipe! :)
If all the recipes are as easy and great as this one then this book is going to be AWESOME! My shortcut is to freeze different fruits and veggies from the summer months in small containers that are the perfect size for adding to dishes or the fruit for pies and cobblers and such. That's all I got really. (or just a frozen pizza here and there for another shortcut)teehee!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your site with all the GREAT recipes & information! I am a wife, mother, grandmother, pastor's wife & assistant to the sheriff in my county (talk about needing a short cut!) My twin sister collects these cookbooks...this would be a great one to start my own collection!
I recently learned of the short cut to shredded chicken. I use alot of shredded chicken and it would take me so long. This trick is everywhere on pinterest but I tried it and it works and makes me feel a little bit better about making those dishes so often. Place it in my stand mixer, use the paddle attachment, and turn it on 2 for about 1-2 minutes.
Being a mom to two very hungry twin boys, I sure could use a cookbook full of shortcuts to help get dinner on the table faster and easier! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSince I hardly ever use enough fresh herbs to finish a bunch before they go bad, I whizz them up in the food processor, use my cookie scoop and make 2 tablespoon mounds of herbs on a cookie sheet. Pop into the freezer for a couple of hours and then remove them to a plastic baggie labeled with the herb inside. Then when I need something, I just pull out my perfect portion and plop it in my dish as I'm cooking. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to have sugar & cinnamon together in a shaker to add to buttered toast, puddings, oatmeal and other cereals.
ReplyDeleteI always keep canned biscuits and other canned rolls on hand. Good for many different speedy dinners. Wrapping hotdogs with biscuits is a favorite for kids. Dumplings in soups and stews can be added easily with canned biscuit pieces. Would love to win a cookbook. Thanks for the offer. email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI love any kind of cookbook & love to share recipes with our 12 year old granddaughter who loves to cook & use her imagination. My best shortcut is to ask my husband to go into the pantry or cupboard & get me things for a recipe so I don't have to stop! That's a shortcut for sure to me!!
ReplyDeletemy email is firstname.lastname@example.com
I just love Gooseberry cookbooks & would love to have this one!
Thanks so much!
Hello I would love a chance to win the cookbook it looks amazing. I love nothing better than cooking special things for my family. One shortcut I use that is oh so good I make potato salad out of leftover mashed potatoes. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this cookbook! One can never have too many cookbooks!! Blessings, Kimberly S. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Greetings from the Peach State of Georgia...I am a very happy retiree and former County Extension Home Economist (formerly known as a Home Demonstration Agent) lol....

ReplyDeleteI LOVE short cuts! My favorite show is Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee on the Food Network.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this cookbook. I love to cook for my family and am always collecting cookbooks to give to my daughter when she gets older. Tammy R. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
ReplyDeleteThis book looks great and thanks everyone for the ideas email@example.com
ReplyDeleteMy cannot give up shortcut is to have a weekly menu planned using the slow cooker almost daily, & I stick to it.. On the weekend I shop & chop veggies. After spending 20 hrs a day with 2 of my grands st their place I go home to a home cooked meal. We don't eat asmuch take out. The next day I get up, start another slow cooker meal & do it all again. Shortcuts? Oh yea I could use a book on those! Rhonda
I could sure use a cookbook of short cuts! I enjoy cooking but resort to the same old easy quick meals b/c other recipes take so long to fix.
This cookbook would be great for my family! Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite shortcut in the kitchen is baking bacon in the oven instead of a skillet on the stove. It is so much easier! Thanks! jstone 45601 @ gmail . com
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for short cuts in the kitchen and this book would be a great help!
ReplyDeleteshortcuts?? so many i do use, my fav is buying dried herbs in bulk, mixing my own together for italian seasonings, cajun etc.then after putting into "TABLE" jars i freeze the rest,firstname.lastname@example.com
ReplyDeleteI am all for learning new shortcuts in the kitchen! Would love to win this book to learn more. I always try to cut up celery, onion and peppers to freeze so they will always be on hand for recipes.
I guess my shortcuts in the kitchen would be not to make anything that was too complicated or had too many ingredients. I like simple things.
I love Gooseberry Patch cook books. I'm always on the look out for new ones!!!
ReplyDeleteI like toget all ingrediants out and measured and ready to gomuch quicker
email@example.com says that chopping, chopping, chopping for the week can be done in one or at most two sessions. Get the chopping on, rock out to some good music and have great homemade salads and stir frys at the drop of a hat when you get home from work. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really need some shortcuts. I love to cook for my family, but since I have M.S., I am beginning to try to find ways to cook so the taste is the same, but a little cheating never hurts the cook. No, I am not using the M.S. card just to win a free item. It is true, unfortunately. It is easier to find great tasting shortcuts now than in the past, but this book looks like the kind of food we love. Susan Ricke,Greensburg, IN firstname.lastname@example.com
ReplyDeleteI love thinking up shortcuts in the kitchen, the only problem is, that my shortcuts always come out disaterous. I would be blessed to have a tried and true Shortcuts cookbook in my kitchen, my family would be grateful too. :) email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI chop and freeze green peppers for quick use on busy days.
With a large family, shortcuts are a MUST!! Thanks for all the tips above! The cookbook looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHELLO FROM SOUTH LA. THIS LOOKS LIKE A WONDERFUL BOOK. WOULD FIT WITH MY OTHER COOKBOOK.
I just 'found' this site/blog and I love it!!! I've used some of the recipes! The Sopapilla Cheesecake was a huge hit!! It was gone before the night was over!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNot really shortcuts, but I've learned to almost "double" some things. For example, canned frosting. Put it in a bowl and whip it with your electric beaters. Adding the air almost doubles what's in the can. Cooked meats can be thrown into the Kitchenaid mixer and be shredded with the paddle attachment, this gives me almost double vs. cubing the meat or shredding it with two forks.

Canned biscuits is a great shortcut to use for many recipes when in a hurry...to make dumplings, fried pies, pigs in a blanket, baked apple dumplings, bottom crust of a cobbler, etc. Please enter me for the giveaway. Thanks
I would love to have this cookbook. I just started to enjoy cooking. So, I need to take baby steps..lol...Thank you for such a wonderful site. I have made a couple of recipes and my hubby loved them, which is surprising because I don't cook.. :)
ReplyDeleteI have just really started cooking in the last 2 years and what I really like about the books is that the recipes are simple and easy to follow, and a lot of comfort recipes. They make me think of my mom's cooking. I love the christmas recipe books.
ReplyDeleteI love all your recipes! And I could definitely use a cookbook...I'm getting married in 2 months and it would definitely come in handy for a new wife :) email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI don't really use any shortcuts. I have found my food processor to save lots of time chopping/shredding vegetables! I would love this recipe book!
As a busy retiree, I could use some shortcut recipes!! Seems I'm busier retired than when I was working!!!! Kathy
Using frozen peppers and onions in homemade spaghetti sauce instead of doing all that chopping
ReplyDeleteAs a full time mom and a full time nurse - I can use any shortcuts that give my family a yummy meal- I would live this cookbook!
I just love these cookbooks, they are simple and easy directions. I love the Christmas cookbooks. The recipes makes me think of recipes from my mom and grandmother. Comfort recipes and recipes that my family loves.
This recipe looks awesome....can't wait to try it! I would love this cookbook, too. My daughters are at the age where they are expanding their attempts at cooking so things will be a little easier when they get out on their own! Seems kids these days love shortcuts. This book would give us a lot of great ideas. :-)
love to cook ,love your books.
My 2 DIL's recently became fans as well.
I like to keep a list of quick ideas handy & the ingredients on hand to be prepared for drop in company or when short on time.
Would LOVE to use this book.Thanks for th e opportunity .
I love recipes that don't take many ingredients so this cookbook would be perfect for me.
I want to tell you that I LOVE your website!!
Thanks ever SO much for giving me a good chuckle this morning! My deceased mother could say 'sopapillas' either. She said 'SOAPY PILLOWS'(even in restaurants!). I love your blog. I have printed so many of your recipes and tried bunches of them.
I also enjoy very much 'Gooseberry Patch' cookbooks. Thanks again!
I would LOVE this cookbook. I am a working mother, and need all the shortcuts I can get when trying to go home and cook after working all day.
I would love an opportunity to win the Gooseberry Cookbook! I love their cookbooks(I have several already!) I am a working mom with 3 growing boys, a husband, and taking care of my mother in law. Short cuts for quick, healthy meals would be a great help!
Thank you so much for all of your recipes and the chance to win this cookbook.
Lisa Still
Hello! Would love to have this cookbook to add to my collection. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou've went and did it again Brandie! Another great shortcut recipe. Just about anything using crescent roll dough is a winner in my book.
Speaking of books I NEED that cookbook! I have been so busy recently with work and getting the kitchen ready I'll take just about any shortcut I can get!
Thanks for all you do, Brandie! Love your recipes, your blog, etc. You have rapidly become one of my favorite "places" to visit. I like using shortcuts because it means I can make more "goodies" more frequently and increase the variety of things I make. I like to use cake mixes, refrigerated cookie dough, and cookie mixes as bases for lots of things---it's amazing what you can come up with! I do a lot of baking for office functions--birthdays, Board meetings, "just because I felt like baking,"---and would not be able to do as much with out shortcuts. I would love the opportunity to win this cookbook---Gooseberry Patch is great!
Thanks for all you do!
Oh, -please- add me to your list. I do so need to be inspired. :-) After 47 years of marriage I am "burnt" out with cooking, have run out of inspiration and excitment.Your site helps me get revived again.
I have already made your Twinkie cake and loved it, as did my grown daughter and her family who got to help me eat it.
Going shopping today to get ingredients for several of your other great recipes.
No tips today, but I do have a few old recipes I would love to share with you...
Here's hoping..with fingers crossed..
I try to do anything in advance so the day that I need something fast I have it ready to go. Thanks for the chance to enter.
Andrea D.
I would love to win this cookbook so I could add this to my Gooseberry Collection. They are my absolute favorite. My shortcuts would have to be canned biscuits (they can be the crust for anything) and crescents (you can fill them with anything for a quick snack).
ReplyDeleteoops I forgot to add my e-mail for the above comment. it is email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI do Family Childcare so I do monthlt nenues and then I serve what the childcare children have for lunch to my family for dinner. Susan firstname.lastname@example.com
ReplyDeleteplease enter me in book contest - with 4 kids, who couldn't use some shortcuts in the kitchen??? email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI'm big fans of both the Country Cook and Gooseberry Patch!! Would love to have a copy, thanks for the chance to win one!!
We love chicken pot pie, but often the process of making the pie crust and rolling it out is a pain...my short cut in smooshing out canned biscuits in a giant muffin pan, adding the pot pie, then topping with a smaller, rolled piece of canned biscuit. They bake fast, taste great and everyone gets their own cute serving.
My favorite shortcut--canned biscuits fried and frosted--instant doughnuts!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shortcut--canned biscuits fried and frosted--instant doughnuts!!
As a stay at home mom of 2 that homeschools, and help manage my husbands buisness and takes care of the house. Any short cuts in the kitchen would be a great help. I love to have hot meal ready every night when my husband gets home from work and like to add a variety so we arent eating the same thing all the time. Occassionally I enjoy throwing a dessert into the mix also.
Any short cuts and new reciepes are a great help in my kitchen!!
When I make meatballs I make a ton. I use my ice cream scoop & the George Forman grill. They cook in half the time & the excess fat runs off. Pop them into the sauce in the crock pot & simmer. Have a meal that night & freeze the rest of them in my food saver bags. When you need a fast meal all you have to do is cook some pasta & make a salad. You might think they get all squished but they don't, just don't press down on the lid of the grill.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite shortcuts is to use an immersion blender whenever possible when a recipe calls for using a blender or food processor... so much easier and less to clean up afterwards!
Yes it does look yummy! Not sure if I am entering the cookbook giveaway, but my little tip is I buy the large can of Chilpotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, which I use in many dishes. I never use the whole can small or large, so I freeze the left over and cut off what I need for the next recipe that I cook. It goes a long way and no wast at all... Sonya Wilson sonyavwilsonbellsouth.net on
ReplyDeleteHi Brandie. I would love to win this cookbook. My only shortcut in the kitchen is when I make dinner like Baked Penne and I make enough to have that night and then I make extra so I can freeze one in a 9x9 Pyrex dish. It is so nice having that extra one in the freezer ready to go. Just thaw, heat and eat!
I just found your blog, not good to be drooling over these so early in the morning. Love all of your recipes, pinning away :)
HomeMomPr at hotmail dot com
My crockpot is my best kitchen shortcut. I love having dinner taken care of early in the day & then smelling the great aroma coming from the kitchen when I walk in the door in the evening.
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to leave my email info.
It's proudyaya04 {at} yahoo {dot} com
I don't really have any short cuts so I could really use a book like this. I guess the only one I do have is to freeeze my meat in portion sizes so that way and I grab and start cooking!
Hello!!!What a wonderful cookbook and how wonderful of you to do this giveaway. One of my fave shortcuts is to use "Cream of ______ soups (such as chicken, asparagus etc as a base for gravy. Works every time! Iwould absolutely LOVE to win this book because although i love to cook and love being in the kitchen, most of the time i am in 'rush' mode. This book would save my life most days of the week!! Thank you, arlene Marie email: firstname.lastname@example.com
ReplyDeleteOh, i also wanted to say, there are SO MANY MANY MANY recipes on ths site that i really want, er need. Do you have a cookbook? If not i'm going to have to go one by one, oh well, it will be well worth it!!! Thank you for your site and for sharing and forthe GBP giveaway. arlene Marie email: email@example.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the cookbook. I need all the help in the kitchen that I can get! :-)
I would love to win the cookbook. I enjoying cooking but with a full time job it's not always an option. The greatest shortcut that I can think of this morning is buy hamburger in large packages and then go ahead brown the entire amount and freeze in amount needed for certain recipes. Cuts cooking time.
I am a HUGE Gooseberry Patch Cookbook fan and love their cookbooks! One of my favorite and most used tips in the kitchen is when I'm chopping onion....if it makes me teary, I pop it in the freezer for about 5 min and when I get it out to cut there are no more tears!!! :) Thanks for this opportunity!
Hello there!
One of my favorite kitchen shortcuts is to use canned "butter tasting" biscuits as my dumplings in my Chicken n Dumplings! I just tear them into little chunks and toss 'em in! It really adds an amazing lil burst of flavor, and I always get told.. "Wow. These dumplings are amazing"!! HaHa! I haven't revealed my secret until NOW!! Another helpful hint I do is chop up my onions and green peppers and put them in ice cube trays, and add just a lil water, and freeze! That way, you can pop out just as much as you need and not waste any. I have my country mama to thank for my dumpling secret, and as a new country mama myself (I have a 15 month old lil redheaded boy)I look forward to learning new and exciting shortcuts! Thanks so much for your blog! I really enjoy it.
Heather, email@example.com.
I could really use this recipe book!
Short cuts are great and any that help get me out of the kitchen are the best! I like to cook but not spend a lot of time doing it. My shortcut is to buy a bag of chicken breasts, cook them all at one time and then either shred, chop or make into strips, Put each in a baggie, label and freeze. I am ready for what ever trips my fancy...Thanks for the chance to win a cool cookbook!
I am just tickled pink when anyone takes their precious time to leave me a message. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for commenting!
Just remember to be nice and keep it clean. This is a family blog and if you wouldn't say it to me while in my home, then don't type it on here. Thank ya kindly!

Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers, left, and Mike Trout of the Angels share the latest cover of ESPN The Magazine (image is cropped). (ESPN)
In one fantastic weekend, in the hot stove of a pennant race, Mike Trout proved every accolade was true.
He was svelte, he could hit, he had power, he was lithe, he was fast, he was quick, he could jump, he could catch. He had all the five tools that make ballplayers excel, to reach stardom and above. Five tools in a single package are rare and precious. The five tools apply to Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Barry Bonds (in the before segment, not the after), Roberto Clemente, Ken Griffey Jr., Henry Aaron, perhaps Ty Cobb.
That weekend in Anaheim, Trout led off the first ballgame with a double, then the second and, again, the third with home runs. He ran the bases with the wind at his tail. He saved a ballgame by climbing above the fence to steal a home run from Prince Fielder.
The Angels won all three games over the Tigers. Two were one-run victories.
It was September and the Tigers left Anaheim confronted by doom. They were marked as an overrated, defeated, pretender of a ballclub.
We prejudged.
The Tigers, somehow, would win their division as the White Sox rolled over in their usual surrender mode. Then the Tigers would oust the Athletics, sweep the Yankees for the pennant. Then they would get swept by the Giants in the World Series — a bittersweet season.
The aftermath was pure controversy.
War between the traditionalists — the baseball purists — and the new-fangled Sabermetricians, those who contaminate the sport's statistics with contrived numbers.
I left Anaheim that weekend last September convinced Miguel Cabrera deserved to be the American League Most Valuable Player.
Simultaneously, I raved about the skills of Mike Trout. He was a wondrous rookie who would be baseball's best player for the next 15 years.
I called Trout the best rookie to enter baseball since Willie Mays in 1951. In doing so, I skipped over Barry Bonds — he had a poor rookie season — and other multi-skilled ballplayers.
The challenge hit me immediately from the Sabermetric fantasizers.
They claimed Trout should be the MVP.
Of course, the traditional, old-fashioned MVP voters among the baseball writers selected Cabrera based on his Triple Crown — as batting champion, home-run champion and RBI champion.
Plus carrying a ballclub to an unexpected pennant.
The debate still rages.
Trout was a special rookie
Trout, to me, remains the finest rookie to enter Major League Baseball in more than the half-century since Mays.
But now loving baseball — and the spring training speculation and boasts — from afar, I wonder if Trout could ever duplicate his rookie season.
The sophomore slump is a huge pile of baloney, in my judgment.
Great ballplayers have outstanding second seasons.
DiMaggio did. Mays did. Al Kaline won a batting championship in his second full season.
They all continued to excel with their traditional five tools — hitting for average, hitting with power, speedy base-running, fielding, throwing.
In his second full season with the New York Giants, 1954, Mays returned to the majors after missing most of two seasons in the Army. He was spectacular in '54. He led the Giants to the National League's pennant and a championship sweep in the World Series.
"Willie Mays had six tools," Kaline once told me.
"Huh? Six tools?"
"All five, plus enthusiasm," Kaline said simply.
Mays exuded it.
He played stickball in the streets with kids in Harlem. He giggled. He ran from under his cap. He played with flamboyance.
He reported in shape, conditioned for his second season.
Right now, according to all reports about Mike Trout from the Angels' spring camp in Arizona, the wind has more tail to push.
The Angels list Trout at 210 pounds. He reported at 241.
Not so svelte.
His unexpected avoirdupois has garnered wide coverage on the Internet — that overwhelming source of information for all of us.
Trout, himself, on several sites claimed he is not fat and he would lose poundage during spring training.
Good enough!
The debate still rages
There is more to say, however, about Mike Trout — the second-season Angel.
The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter across the country to do a feature earlier this month on Trout in his hometown, Millville, N.J. Trout snubbed the guy, refused to talk then to the LA Times, a publication that covers him with exaggerated passion.
Something odd there. Not such a wonderful attitude.
Hurrah, he did provide quotes to the Times after he arrived at the Angels' camp in Tempe, Ariz.
But as spring training continues, Cabrera and Trout have become cover-page fodder for an issue of ESPN The Magazine. They appear together — and they are featured in a TV clip publicizing the March 4 magazine, the Analytics Issue.
"WAR is the answer," ESPN The Mag declares as the headline to the feature article.
It is the answer to what?
The Sabermetrics professors fail to get it straight among themselves. Sites such as Baseball-Reference.com, FanGraphs.com and Baseball Prospectus have different versions.
Generally, WAR includes all the traditional batting vitals and meshes in speed, stolen bases, defense, ballpark configuration, contributions and so on into a whirling blur. It stands for Wins Above Replacement. And the replacement is regarded as the average bench dweller in the majors or some ordinary minor leaguer — nobody identified.
"For Mike Trout supporters, WAR was simple and unimpeachable evidence of a perfect player performing at a nearly unprecedented level," Sam Miller wrote in ESPN The Mag. "For Miguel Cabrera supporters, WAR was the joyless and inscrutable tool of eggheads, trolls, all of us who never played the game."
And thus, the blather rolled on, extolling the marvels of WAR.
Admitted again — I am old-fashioned, proud. I respect tradition and believe in baseball purity. The sport is an American treasure.
Defense, base running — and hitting home runs and driving in runs — matter.
What WAR misses, again, is winning pennants, reaching the World Series.
And WAR fails to factor in weight gain — and sour attitude.
Mike Trout was a fantastic rookie in 2012.
That was last year!
