While many love this season for the beach I love the warm weather and longer days for my garden...

My Tip Tuesday is all about our family tradition of making reindeer food to help Santa's reindeer fly on Christmas eve...

In celebration of our Host Craft Week we looked to you, our crafting specialists, to share with us your crafting creations.  We were so excited to see the fabulous pictures and crafts you created!!

My family loves these special Peanut Butter Kissy cookies...My grandmother passed this recipe along to my mom so from my family to yours I hope it becomes a tradition for you...

Tis time to think about crafts! Cheap & Cheerful Crafts kicked off another season of fun inexpensive crafts to make and I shared with you my good news about my new show, "Gardening with Pat" which premiers on January 17 at 1pm!

In the true spirit of the season or maybe just my family, Nikki and I ventured out in the rain the weekend before Christmas to search for the perfect tree. 

If you missed the reveal of our Hallmark/QVC Merry makeover sweepstakes, here is a chance to get in the holiday spirit! Congratulations to our winner, Donna, and thanks to the designers at Hallmark!

The chilly fall weather inspired me to make some delicious dinners in my pressure cooker over the weekend! One of our family favorites is the pork chops and apples... I substitute cooking sherry in mine and serve with couscous. We also love paprika chicken too! I learned to use a pressure cooker a few years ago and love learning new recipes...Do you have a favorite fall meal in the pressure cooker? Enjoy dinner!
