Let's Ketchup

Dear Reader-- I know I have been away for a little while... promise I have a GOODe excuse...

So, let's "ketchup" shall we?

Well, first and foremost, we had this little event around here...

Aunt Lou went and got hitched ;)

Look Ma... no biscuits!

Meanwhile, GOODEness Gracious was featured on Sweet Jeanette. I shared some "cool" freezer cooking grilling tips over there... check it out.

Oh and while all this has been going on, we have been celebrating Christmas at the end of May (now June) and we are giving away the yet-to-be released Quick & Easy Christmas Gooseberry Patch Cookbook. 

Psst... If you want to enter, hurry... the contest ends tomorrow at 9 PM

Puddie has actually taken over my kitchen and cooked up some yummy dishes from this book that I will be sharing with you tomorrow.

Recipes like Teriyaki  Chicken

and Seafood Pasta Salad

Aside from that, my gal pals and I have kicked things up a notch over at www.realfarmwivesofamerica.com. Besides a whole week full of Home, Garden, Recipes, Photos, Farmers and Weekends for the Soul... You will find that today Miss Megan just announced that we are giving away a signed copy of The Pioneer Woman's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by our inspiration Miss Ree Drummond.

Enter today!

Oh and I am still addicted to Pinterest! Check out these awesome sugar cookies that I baked up for an upcoming project with Sweet & Simple. While the cookie and icing recipe came from the new cookbook I am reviewing, the decoration was totally Pinterest inspired...
