Skillet Granola, Glorious Cheese Grits & Turkey Rolls

Winner of the Gooseberry Patch Harvest Table is Comment #17

"Rachel" from Meditations of His Love
.

It's that time again for another Goosey Review! I know what you're thinking why is she featuring a Harvest cookbook and it isn't even Fall?

I know it's hot outside 90 degrees to be exact here in Texas, but just set that thought aside and indulge with me for a moment.

As a Early Bird Reviewer I'm blessed with the opportunity to be able to review soon to be released Gooseberry Patch Titles.

I have to say that I enjoy it very much. It's so fun to get a sneak peek before anyone else and I love sharing my thoughts along the way. I know it's hot outside, but let's look at this kind of like Christmas in July.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons especially for cooking and baking. I love all the pumpkin and apple recipes, football food and hearty soups and stews. I was so excited to be chosen to review "The Harvest Table". It was nice for just a bit to be taken back to the flavors of Fall. This cookbook just like so many other Gooseberry Patch cookbooks is packed full of great recipes and clever tips.


The Harvest Table has six delicious chapters:
Hearty Autumn Brunch, Soup Supper with Friends, Simple Harvest Suppers, Thanksgiving with all the Trimmings, Festive Fall Flavors and Save Room for Dessert.

This cookbook has a great selection of recipes. For starters it has some pretty tasty brunch and breakfast ideas, Iced Coffee, Jack O Lantern Flapjacks Banana Waffles, Coffee Cakes, Egg dishes and Farmhouse Gravy.

I chose to try the Nutty Skillet Granola first . I always prepare my granola in the oven, but this recipe uses the simplicity of a skillet. The granola calls for quick and old fashioned oats, pecans, almonds, walnuts and more.

It also uses real maple syrup which gave this granola a great flavor. I can honestly say that my husband and I both love this granola recipe better than the one I have been using.

Next I moved onto Glorious Cheese Grits. Grits are one of those foods that you either love or hate. If you're from the south than chances are that you love them just like me. I like my grits plain with butter or with cheese and baked.

The recipe I'm sharing today aren't your regular run of the mill grits, but they have the addition of breakfast sausage and cheese. I thought the crumbled breakfast sausage gave these grits a nice meaty flavor.

At least with the sausage added my husband actually gave them a try. Even with this recipe I still don't think I sold him on the whole grits thing. Oh well I will keep trying.


I have made the recipe above for Tasty Turkey Rolls for as long as I can remember. This recipe comes from the Simple Harvest Supper chapter. Boxed stuffing is cooked and stuffed inside store bought turkey slices, rolled up and topped with turkey gravy. It doesn't get any easier that than that my friends. (click on the title to get this recipe)

Now it's time to move on to a few desserts that have to be mentioned. The Save Room for Dessert chapter has a whole bunch of holiday recipes. It has recipes for a Caramel Apple Cake, Black Midnight Cake, Lemon Upside Down Cake, Toffee Cheesecake and a Halloween Poke Cake. I actually made the Halloween Poke Cake last year and everyone loved it.



Would you like to get your hands on a copy of "The Harvest Table". Well you can! Gooseberry Patch has been generous enough to include a second copy to share with one of my MK readers. See below to find out how you can win a copy for yourself.

By the way, don't try the Nutty Granola with just old fashioned oats and without the wheatgerm. It was way to sticky.
