Harvest homestyle meals: delicious recipes featuring all your favorite fall flavors

Back in 1984, we were next-door neighbors raising our families in the little town of Delaware, Ohio. Two moms with small children, we were looking for a way to do what we loved and stay home with the kids too. We had always shared a love of home cooking and making memories with family & friends and so, after many a conversation over the backyard fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.

We put together our first catalog at our kitchen tables, enlisting the help of our loved ones wherever we could. From that very first mailing, we found an immediate connection with many of our customers and it wasnt long before we began receiving letters, photos and recipes from these new friends. In 1992, we put together our very first cookbook, compiled from hundreds of these recipes and, the rest, as they say, is history.

Hard to believe its been over 35 years since those kitchen-table days! From that original little Gooseberry Patch family, weve grown to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking, decorating and creating as much as we do. Today, were best known for our homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks, now recognized as national bestsellers.

One things for sure, we couldnt have done it without our friends all across the country. Each year, were honored to turn thousands of your recipes into our collectible cookbooks. Our hope is that each book captures the stories and heart of all of you who have shared with us. Whether youve been with us since the beginning or are just discovering us, welcome to the Gooseberry Patch family!

My son and daughter-in-law gave me a copy of Homemade Harvest . Im finding lots of new go-to favorites in it! I just love the campfire recipes as we are RVers, and the fall crafts are really special. I made the Haunted House with my granddaughter. Happy to see you have so many cookbooks...I am positive that each one is as useful and fun as Homemade Harvest is.

I am a huge fan of Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, and Fall Family Recipes is another great addition to my collection. So far, I have made the Baked Cinnamon-Apple French Toast Casserole and Sarahs Halloween Night Pumpkin Chili. Both of these recipes were easy and delicious. I am looking forward to many more wonderful new meals and treats from this cookbook. Some that I am going to try include Creamy Baked Acorn Squash, Smoked Sausage Penne and Apple-Cranberry Crisp. I also enjoy the artwork and tips that are included throughout this cookbook. There is so much to love about Gooseberry Patch cookbooks!

I am a happy home cook with a cookbook collection of about a thousand books. Your Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are my very favorite! I keep my 50 or so Gooseberry Patch cookbooks right in my kitchen because I use them daily. I have recently started using your books to teach my son to cook. What a joy! Thank you for your books and for the hours of joy Ive had using them to create a happy home with many delicious delights. See you in the Patch!

Dear Friend,

Its autumn again! We love this time of year when colorful leaves are rustling underfoot. Farmers markets are filled with juicy apples, orange pumpkins and so much other ripe produce, ready to turn into delicious family-pleasing dishes.

For Harvest Homestyle Meals , weve gathered over 230 easy recipes from home cooks just like you. Get the day off to a great start with Pumpkin French Toast...yum! At lunchtime, a big kettle of nutritious Farmstand Vegetable Soup and a basket of Cheddar Garlic Bread Sticks will warm everyone up on the chilliest days.

On busy weeknights, 20-Minute Spaghetti, Green Chile Baked Burritos and Harvest Grains Chicken Stir-Fry are sure to please even the pickiest eaters. Jaclyns Stromboli is perfect for sharing with family & friends...even pack it to go. On Thanksgiving, serve a splendid dinner starring Herbed Roast Turkey & Gravy. Round out meals anytime with favorites like Delicious Scalloped Potatoes, Creamy Parmesan Spinach and Autumn Pear Salad.

Autumn brings parties for back-to-school, tailgating and Halloween, so treat everyone to Aunt Maxines Cheese Log, Tasty Taco Tarts and Cranberry-Walnut Cheese Ball. For sweet endings, weve included yummy desserts like Nonas Frosty Apple Bites, Fudge Brownie Muffins and Karys Pumpkin Cobbler...theyll love it!
