Hi there I hope you had a great week! We're looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home! Gotta love weekends with no major plans!
Last weekend was exciting but a little crazy! In 48 hours we were in both Chicago and
Nashville cheering on my stepson, Spencer Stastney who plays for the Nashville Predators. The playoffs kickoff this weekend. Nashville plays Vancouver Sunday night. Unfortunately we can't make it to Vancouver but we'll be watching and cheering from our living room. The team will be back playing at home in Nashville next week! We are hoping to go to those home playoffs games. GO PREDS!

We've had some seriously rainy days
in Wisconsin this week. I hope all these April showers bring lots of May flowers! I'm craving all things spring! I'm a
lemon lover. This time of year I buy a few bags of lemons and put them a big bowl in my kitchen. They just brighten things up and make me happy! This weekend I'm going to put on an apron and make my favorite spring dessert! My Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is one of my most popular recipes! It's a burst of sunshine on cloudy rainy days! This cake is so easy because it starts
with a box of lemon cake mix. Don't use the recipe on the box. Use my recipe instead! I've got some secrets to
jazz it up and make it over the top moist and delicious. I also make a lemon glaze to make it extra
special.
For dinner my Best Ever Lemon Chicken really is the BEST EVER! It's so juicy and the lemon, garlic wine sauce keep the chicken so juicy. The sauce is lick the plate good! We love this served with rice, buttered noodles or potatoes! You can bake it in the oven but if the weather is good I love to do this outside in a foil pan on the grill!
If you're a shrimp lover my Shrimp and Artichoke Scampi is loaded with lemon and so fresh and easy breezy. You'd pay big bucks for this out at a restaurant. Why not WOW your family and make it at home!
Besides using lots of lemons, cooking with asparagus is also may way to bring on spring. I can't wait for asparagus season when you can pick your own! But, right now it's asparagus season at the grocery store. I found some wonderful asparagus at the grocery store and it was on sale BIG TIME! LOVE THAT! Don't boil it - you'll spoil it! Try my Lemon Roasted Asparagus! It's got so much
flavor!
