The CFW Workday with Laura McKenna
Laura McKenna grew up in Ohio and got her first job in radio in La Crosse in 2005. She packed up her stuff, made the move, and has been in Wisconsin ever since! Her favorite season is winter but she loves to spend all summer in her vegetable garden. When she isn't in her pink kitchen cooking up vegetarian recipes, more than likely she's taking bubble baths, reading mystery novels (sometimes while in a bubble bath), cheering for THEE Ohio State Buckeyes, or officiating weddings! She married her best friend from college last year but they still don't live in the same house yet. Laura's favorite way to spend a Friday night is watching Dateline with her cat (Phil Dawson) on her lap. She's thrilled to be back keeping you company during the workday on 105-7 CFW!

Movie Review: The Accountant 2
Sometimes when you watch a movie and you really like it (as I did with The Accountant), you are so excited to hear about a sequel. But then the sequel comes out and it leaves you with that “maybe you should have just stopped while you were ahead” feeling…. This could not be further from […]

In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Best Iced Tea Tip
June 10th is National Iced Tea Day and I have the secret ingredient to making the best, fresh brewed iced tea! Baking soda. Just a 1/4 tsp. makes all the difference. Add a 1/4 tsp. of baking soda per every gallon of tea that you brew. Just that little bit of baking soda makes the […]

Movie Monday: Tom Cruise is a beast!
If Tom Cruise is in a movie, I’m putting it on my list because I want to watch it. I’m a big fan. But even those that are just so-so on the Tom Cruise love can’t deny, the man puts everything he has into his performances. I haven’t seen the Mission Impossible movies yet (I […]

Movie Monday: The casting for two great books being turned into movies
I love a good book and I love a good movie. But not all great books turn into great movies. There’s nothing worse than loving a book and being so disappointed when you see that book made all wrong on the big screen. Sometimes it’s a switch in the plot. Don’t do that to us […]

In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Burger Tips
May 28th is National Burger Day! Despite being a vegetarian, I know my way around a delicious burger. It’s alllll about the toppings and I think there’s something that’s way underutilized: ONIONS! Now I love onions in all form and fashion: red, sweet, caramelized, raw. You name it, I’ll eat ’em. I also love an […]

Laura McKenna’s pick for the best sunscreen
This is a great example of “Do as I say, not as I do.” Yesterday, I planted my garden and I didn’t use any sunscreen. Today, I’ve turned into a juicy red tomato. Ugh! And I know better! May 27th is National Sunscreen Day for a reason. While I do love soaking up sunshine’s Vitamin […]

It’s Palindrome Time!
You might be wondering: What’s a palindrome? Well, I’m glad you asked because we’re in a Palindrome Week! The dates can be written the same frontward or back. For instance, today is May 21, 2025. That’s 5-21-25 or 52125 (read the same from the front or the back). That will continue all the way until […]

Movie Monday: Rest In Peace, grumpy Morris
We haven’t had an In Memoriam segment during our Movie Mondays before, but if anyone deserves it, it’s Morris. You will remember this gator from films like Happy Gilmore, Eraser, Dr. Doolittle 2, and even Interview with the Vampire. In fact, he’s been in over 30 Hollywood films. Morris was a little too aggressive on […]

Weed Popping
One of my favorite gadgets of all time is my Weed Popper. It’s an organic gardener’s dream weeding machine. You won’t need batteries, gasoline, or a cord. Just a little muscle. In fact, you won’t need much muscle at all. Why do I love my Weed Popper so much? Let me count the ways: 1. […]
