Hi there, !

Happy Friday! We made it to the weekend! 

It's been quite a week here in Wisconsin. We had a big blizzard. My friends in Minnesota got even more snow. Yikes!  

I was hoping to be in Minneapolis today. I have two TV spots in the Twin Cities, but with the roads being so bad, I decided to play it safe. 

I'm going to be doing the segments LIVE today from my home kitchen instead. I'll be on The Jason Show this morning, then on Twin Cities Live this afternoon. 

I'm cooking up meat free recipes for Lent. I LOVE a good Friday fish fry but sometimes they get so busy during Lent. 

Why not make seafood at home? 

I LOVE Alfredo sauce! I never buy the stuff in the jar; it's no good.   

My Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo is so delicious.  

It's super easy to make too! No flour, no roux.  My sauce is so creamy and cheesy and simple. It's great with shrimp or without and great with chicken too! You'd pay big bucks for this dish out at a restaurant.  Save some dough and make it at home.  

I think I'm gonna make it for dinner tonight!

Sometimes you just gotta pull dinner out of a hat.  We all have those days.  Here's an idea: keep a couple cans of crabmeat on hand and you too can be a magician.  

You can whip up my Cheesy Crab Melts in minutes. 

In winter, especially in Wisconsin this week, who doesn't crave a cheesy, toasty sandwich?  These will be a HUGE hit.  

Don't have crabmeat? No worries.  These open faced sandwich are great made with canned tuna too! 

Just make them! So good! Plus, they are a great way to serve seafood on a budget.

We love these crabmelts or an ooey goey grilled cheese with a big bowl of my homemade Tomato Basil Soup. 

It's THE BEST EVER! Fire roasted canned tomatoes, heavy cream and loads of basil make it over the top delish!

If the kids or grandkiddos like mac 'n cheese, they'll LOVE my

 Mac 'n Cheese Minis! 

How cute are these?  You make them in muffin tins! What fun! So easy too!

Speaking of the kids, I always say if you don't teach them to cook they'll never learn how.  Get those kids in the kitchen! 

Yeah, it's a bit more messy, but that's what vaccums and dogs are for. LOL! 

I put my kid's ALL TIME favorite recipes all in one place so they are easy to find.  Get your kids excited about cooking! 

Have them look at all the fun recipes on my Kid Friendly Recipes page.  Let them pick what they want to make! 

I ALWAYS love hearing from you! If you do make one of my recipes contact me and let me know.  

It's so fun to see pictures of what you make too! You warm my heart! 💙

Live on TV

Tune in TODAY to watch me cooking LIVE this morning at 7:55am on Fox 6 Wakeup in Milwaukee.  If you live in the Minneaopolis area I'll be on The Jason Show around 10:45am and Twin Cities Live between 3:30 4:30pm!

Hope you'll watch!

Let's Travel Together!

Have you heard I'm hosting group vacations? 

The Cooking Mom Vacations are filled with delicious food, sightseeing, and tons of fun! 

We’ll stay in the VERY best hotels and may even take a cooking class or two.

I have 3 trips planned for 2023 with more to come! I'm planning my 2024 trips now.   Let me know where you want to go! 

 HUGE SAVINGS on this trip!

Have a great weekend! Cook up some memories! 

All my love,
