Hi there

Home sweet home! We had the most amazing trip to France! 

We took a river cruise through southern France from Provence to Burgundy.  It was gorgeous!  After that we headed to Paris.   

We learned so much and tried so many wonderful French foods from croque monsieur sandwiches to macaroons and so much more! We even got to take an authentic French Cooking class! 

I'm a bread lover so one of the was learning to order a baguette in French.  We got to eat some of the best baguettes in Paris. They were so fresh they were even warm! DELICIOUS! 

It's always hard to say goodbye to the new friends we meet on my Cooking Mom Vacations but there's no place like home! 

It's great to be back in Wisconsin and in my own bed!  We got lots of  kisses when we got home! Gosh, I missed our dog Arlo! 

Now that we are home, this weekend we plan to just RELAX! Our fridge is empty so I need to get to the grocery store today.  I'm excited to use some of the French spices I bought. I'm also inspired to cook some bright and colorful spring dishes.  

My Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts  are so yummy! Move over boring chicken! These are anything but! They seem fancy but are really easy to make! They are perfect for a special dinner, like Mother's Day! It's coming up soon! 

We've had the most delicious soups the last two weeks in France! They are very simple but so full of flavor! We saw some much beautiful asparagus in the French markets! I can't wait to make a big batch of my Cream of Asparagus Soup! It's so good!  Why not pick up a bundle of asparagus and make a batch or two this weekend! 

Asparagus is my all time favorite veggie! I hate it when you buy fresh veggies and they go bad before you get a chance to eat them.  I've got all sorts of tips and tricks when it comes to asparagus! Click Asparagus 101 to learn how to pick the perfect bunch of asparagus from the store, how to store it and lots of delicious asparagus recipes too! 

Besides asparagus,  it's strawberry time! 

I can't wait for those fresh picked local strawberries this summer but until them, they are looking pretty nice at the store.   

To make them even sweeter, have you ever roasted them?  Try it!

My Roasted Strawberry Trifles are so delightful! They are bursting with strawberry flavor!  Layered in a pretty wine glass they look so pretty! Mom, would love these for Mother's Day!
