Almost Homemade
Gooseberry Patch recently gave me a chance to review Almost Homemade. This cookbook is packed full of recipes that taste like you spent hours slaving in the kitchen. The “almost” means that there are plenty of shortcuts to help you save time while still cooking a homemade meal!
The Recipes
Slow Cooker Tomato-Tortellini Soup
This Slow Cooker Tomato-Tortellini Soup will warm you up after a long afternoon of playing (or working) outside in the cold. Set it up in your slow cooker and come back in a couple of hours!
Enchilada Casserole
Love Mexican, but don’t love all the prep work to make enchiladas? Try this Enchilada Casserole for an easy way to have a great Mexican dish at home. There’s also a yummy Sweet Corn & Rice Casserole in this cookbook that would be a great side dish to go along with this Enchilada Casserole!
Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread
Need a way to get some more veggies in? Give this Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread a try. Frozen broccoli is an easy way to add some “green” to your plate, and it’s still a dish that the whole family will love!
Slow Cooker Au Gratin Potato Soup
Did someone say comfort food? This Slow Cooker Au Gratin Potato Soup is pretty much the definition of comfort food. With easy shortcuts and a slow cooker, it just doesn’t get much better than this creamy, cheesy potato soup.
Individual Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars
And for dessert, these 4-ingredient Individual Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars really can’t get much easier! Eat them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top off your day!

chicken and noodles
When I’m having a rough week, I always look forward to great-grandma’s spaghetti on a Saturday evening. We’ve adapted the recipe slightly through the generations, but it still reminds me of big family dinners, warmth, and love. In fact, I can often find my teenage children’s friends “showing up” when they know a pot of spaghetti sauce has been simmering on the stove.

Chicken & noodles

My comfort food has always been meatloaf.
