Hi there

Happy Friday! What a great week. We've had some beautiful weather here in Wisconsin; it finally felt like spring!  

Today I'm so excited because we are flying to France this afternoon! There are about 30 of us going on one of my Cooking Mom Vacations. 

We're taking a river cruise from Burgundy to Provence and then we'll spend 4 days in Paris! I haven't been to France since I was 17 years old! 

Bring on the French baquettes and croissants! I promise to post lots of pictures from our trip on Instagram and Facebook. 

I'm planning trips for 2024 right now. Let me know if you'd be interested in going on a similar group trip with me next year -- Paris in spring! I can't wait to see it! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Got leftover ham from?Today it's time to use it or freeze it.   

And, hey those extra Easter hams at the grocery store are on sale right now! You may want to pick one up! 

Use that ham or get some at the deli and make my Elegant Chicken, Ham and Swiss Casserole.   It's one of my all time  favorites! It's so good that it's company worthy!  

Feels kind of fancy but it's super easy and AMAZING! Great over rice pilaf to soak up all that yummy sauce!

My Skillet Tortellini with Ham and Peas is another great way to use that ham.   The creamy cheesy Alfredo sauce is so good! This dish is a super quick and easy! 

You can whip it up 30 minutes or even less! LOVE THAT! 

Got Easter eggs that need using?  It's a great weekend to make my Deviled Eggs and Ham! 

Adding a little ham makes these deviled eggs really tasty! You gotta try it! 

Speaking of eggs, it's egg salad season. I have a few secrets to make Excellent Egg Salad Sandwiches! 

BEST EVER! You gotta try this recipe! 

It's Strawberry time! The strawberries are big and beautiful and on sale at the grocery store! My Strawberry Refrigerator Cake is so crazy easy because it starts with a boxed cake mix! It's a taste of spring and so fresh and pretty!
