Sometimes desperation is all the inspiration needed to come up with a great idea. And that is just what happened with our new favorite product - Dinner a la Card. If thinking about what's for dinner sends your blood pressure to a new high and your patience to a new low, this is the perfect solution to "de-stress" those mealtime decisions. A unique meal planning and organizing system, Dinner a la Card is designed to keep your meal menus organized and close at hand.

So let us tell you what Dinner a la Card is and what it is not. Let's start with the first big "nots" - it is not a recipe filing system and the cards do not come with recipes on them. The cards are uniquely designed (great graphics - very cute!) to list the ingredients of meals you know how to make. You fill out one card for each of your dinner favorites by simply listing all of the ingredients along with the sides and the condiments that go with the meal. Once you have done that, you place the cards on a ring.

For example:
• How cornstarch can help get you through radiation treatment

• Should you let your hair fall out gradually, or get a buzz cut?

Deborah’s unfailing inspiration, wit and honesty will give welcome comfort to anyone on the quest to be a survivor!

Since we got such a great response from you all when we ran our fall slow cooker recipe, we knew you’d be interested in more great recipes.  Introducing, the new fall cookbook from the Gooseberry Patch gang, Autumn in the Country.  Inspired by harvest hayrides, pumpkin picking and small-town festivals, Autumn in the Country celebrates the very best cooking ideas fall has to offer. It's filled with more than 250 delicious recipes and over 225 tips and ideas.

The authors from Gooseberry Patch have been cookbook experts since 1984. They represent America's real cooks...wives, moms and grandmas from across the nation. Real, everyday folks send in and share thousands of recipes from their own kitchens, the best of which are then lovingly selected by Gooseberry Patch for each new cookbook. Easy, wholesome, delicious meals designed for today’s busy families. So get your family together and pick one of these recipes to prepare together – just one more way to make memories

It’s the same story each and every morning: making lunches, rushing the kids out the door for school, getting dressed for your big meeting at work…oh yeah, and what should we set out for dinner tonight?

Well, good news - it's slow-cooker season!  When the temps cool, we think of delectable roasts, spicy chili and hearty soups (see the Apple Cider Stew recipe at the end of this article) with warm bread. Best of all, you can throw all the ingredients in before you go to work, and by the time the family reunites for dinner, the only thing left to do is sit down and enjoy a warm meal and each other.

One of our favorite Fall kitchen friends is the slow-cooker. Meals are cooked to perfection in these small appliance wonders like the Hamilton Beach Set N Forget slow cooker that lets you cook three ways.
