It’s time once again to review the newest cookbook from Gooseberry Patch and this time it’s quite special.  Why you ask…because my recipe is published in it!  I am so excited and honored to be included in this book.  101 Stovetop Suppers includes: Quick & Easy Recipes, Slowly Simmered, and Serves a Crowd.  This cookbook is perfect before the holiday season because we all know how busy we are.  Now you can grab this book, pick a recipe and have dinner on the table in no time at all!  To win a copy make sure you enter the contest below!

The recipe I’m going to feature is the one that I submitted; Coconutty Nanaimo Bars which is on page 83.  These bars are very simple to make and they taste delicious!
