Jennifer Jasinski will be cooking at your house tomorrow morning — but you may need to eat breakfast out afterwards.

Tune in to CBS4 at 6:30 a.m. (MST) Saturday, July 26, to see Jen in action. Her menu:

Shrimp and Spicy Sausage Skewers with Corn-Orzo Salad Madras Curry Scented Garbanzo Dip Lemon Anise Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
