We still have a  couple days left in Europe but I'm excited to get home! Next week is going to be a BIG WEEK! 

After 33 years I'll be leaving my day job as a TV host in Green Bay.  

It was such a hard decision but this will allow me to really focus on creating new recipes for website. 

I'll also have time to work on my 3rd cookbook.  I know many of you have been waiting for it! 

As you know besides cooking I love to travel.  Now, I'll be able to plan even more amazing group vacations! 

Most importantly my husband Hoyt and I will now be able to spend more time with our kids and aging parents.   

Change is hard.  Leaving a job you've loved after 3 decades is so tough! 

I promise to keep on cooking and sharing my recipes for a very long time!  Don't worry! You'll still get my newsletter every week too!

I put all my best recipes for the holidays all in one place on my website.  Just click HOLIDAYS for more recipes that will WOW your family and friends.
