LOVE OUR COOKBOOKS?:
A heartfelt
thank-you to all who regularly fill our inboxes with warm praise.
If you're a fan of our cookbooks, we invite you to write a review of either cookbook on Amazon.
As independent publishers, it's always a challenge to spread the word
about our cookbooks, and we rely on happy customers.
Your review will help other customers who may not have ever even heard
of us!
  FUNDRAISERS: As moms, we're dedicated to supporting school fundraisers. If your school is requesting donations, have them contact us at schools@cookingwithtraderjoes. EASY RECIPES: Skip the restaurant crowd and enjoy a romantic dinner at home this Valentine's. Simple is best. Keep things easy, so you can focus on the romance instead of slaving over an elaborate meal. And the best part is you can have dinner and dessert for two, under $20.
For a classic dish, exemplifying simple Italian cooking at its finest, try our recipe for Spaghetti alla Carbonara. It is elegant yet easy, proving that fancy dishes don't have to be complicated.
 Another easy, unfussy meal idea is Dressed Up Lobster Ravioli in our cookbook. A simple tomato and cream sauce dresses up fresh refrigerated lobster ravioli that cooks up in minutes.
Or, for even easier options, pick up one of these gourmet ready-to-cook entrees in the freezer case.
 French Cheese Souffle, ready-to-bake. Dish out individual servings into ramekins, or bake a larger souffle to share. Enjoy with fresh spinach or arugula salad. Saucy Scallops with Mushrooms in a creamy white sauce. Serve over a simple bed of pasta or with a crusty bread for mopping up the sauce. Pork Roast Florentine stuffed with spinach, cheese, and roasted peppers. Serve with brown rice or mashed potatoes.While you're in the freezer aisle, pick up an appetizer. Great choices include the Tarte d' Champignon, Spanakopitas, Arancini Bites, Seafood Crab Cakes, or 3 Plus Blue Flatbread.
And for dessert, choose from a tempting selection of ready-made desserts in the frozen case. You can't beat just $2-$5 for desserts like Apple Blossoms, Chocolate Mousse, Creme
Brulee in 4 Chocolate Dishes, and Peach & Blueberry Panna Cotta.
