Are you looking for a new cookbook? Gooseberry Patch’s newย Fresh and Easy Family Mealsย is chock full of great new recipes that are easy to prepare and delicious to eat!

Cris here. My friends atย Gooseberry Patch recently sent me a copy of their new cookbookย Fresh and Easy Family Meals. And we –of course– just love it so we want to give one to one lucky reader AND ANOTHER to one lucky YouTube subscriber.

While Gooseberry Patch’sย ย Fresh and Easy Family Meals. is NOT a slow cooker cookbook we found that many of their recipes (especially the soups) were easy to convert to crock pot recipes and it was also FULL of great easy recipes that compliment our other crock pot dishes very well. Here is a little taste of a few recipes from the cookbook we tried..
Crock Pot Tuscan Bean Soup– This soup had an amazing flavor and was easily adaptable to our crock pot! It is on our short list for the next time company comes over.
Crock Pot Tex-Mex Salsa Soup– is a delightful twist on your traditional salsa soup! I love when I find a new way to play off of flavors I know my family will devour!
Crock Pot Beefed Up Tacos– Is a crock pot adaptation of one of the skillet recipes in the cookbook. We LOVED how this recipe let us stretch our ground beef to feed more folks.
Easy Salsa Recipeย is not a crock pot recipe but we LOVED this dish! You won’t believe just how easy it is to make this impressive homemade salsa!

Salsa sounds great
The easy salsa sounds great!
The Tex-Mex Salsa Soup looks amazing!! Definitely something I would love to try!!
I’m going to make the Crock Pot Beefed Up Tacos on the 4th of July, at my family pool party. I will also share the recipe with my daughter, as I’m sure her teenage son and his friends will want to make them year round. Thank you for so many wonderful recipes and ideas.
Beefed Up Tacos sounds great. Home grown fresh tomatoes are abundant in South Alabama now and would make a good taco even better if used as a garnish.
Easy Salsa
I would love to try that soup!
The salsa sounds really good to me – but they ALL look delicious!

I would like to try the Crock Pot Beefed Up Tacos
Beefed up tacos! Would love the cookbook!
Would love to make Tuscan Bean Soup.
Love soup despite the texas heat! and am learning how to use my crock pot.
This could cook while i’m at work and then the leftovers could be packed for individual servings and frozen. quick and easy work lunch or quick dinner or weekend lunch! Love all your recipes and insights Chris.
The Tuscan Bean Soup caught my attention right away. Even in the summer and good bowl of soup can hit the spot. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the Gooseberry Cookbook. robeader53@yahoo.com
WINNER, WINNER EASY SALSA
I tried to enter the contest earlier this morning but guess my entry did not go thru. As I said in previous entry, I live in South Alabama where the tempatures are hitting the mid 90’s now….I would love to try the Tex-Mex Salsa soup when it cools off this fall and winter….that is if I can wait until then.
I want to try them all.
The beefed up tacos sound good to try
I will definitely be making the Tuscan bean soup. I love all of the ingredients in it and I know the flavor will be great and delicious.
Will definitely start with the Tex-Mex Soup, then the Salsoa & Tacos
The Easy Salsa gets my vote! Healthy, fresh, yummy> Perfect for these summer days!
The salsa looks divine!
I can just imagine how good the Tex-Mex Salsa soup will be this winter on a cold day…if I can wait that long!? our south alabama tempatures are in the mid 90’s now
I would like to try the beefed up tacos!
Hi, I would Love to try Beefed up Tacos. Thanks, Dale
