Momma! What’s For Supper This Week?
💕 Happy Monday, My Friends! Welcome to Momma Can
Hi friends 💛
It’s Momma Can here, and I’m so glad you’re cooking along with me this week.
We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with simple, cozy meals that work for busy families, picky eaters, and tired mamas who just want dinner on the table without stress.
We’re planning Monday through Friday only.
- Saturday is Valentine’s Day 💘
- Sunday is a day of rest (leftovers, pizza, or something easy)
Let’s dive in.

🌱 Monday: Slow Cooker Vegetable Marinara (Vegetarian)
This is one of those meals that makes you feel like you’ve really done something good for your family — and the slow cooker does most of the work.
Why we love it:

Momma Tip 💡
- Name the vegetables as you cook
- Tell a quick story about them
Kids love learning what foods are called — it makes new foods less scary.
