Weekly Menu

Get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try one of these delicious and easy recipes this week! This week I highly recommend making the Garden Sweet Potato Veggie Burger, the Bourbon Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin and the Thick ‘n Creamy Loaded Potato Soup!

Happy Sunday TKW Family!  Can it be just like summer? Seriously – I need sun, warmth and heat; not this cold/gray/rain/gloom/snow we had all last week here. I figure by summer our house will be sold (God-willing), I can have some breathing room work-wise and Mr. Fantabulous will be well on his path to recovering from his surgery he had last Monday.

I swear the absolute worst feeling a person can have is that feeling when someone you love is hurting so much; in so much pain and there is literally nothing you can do to help them. I don’t care if you’re a parent, wife, husband, aunt, uncle or even a kind stranger – seeing someone so helpless and in excruciating pain just kills me.

I would give anything to trade places with Mr. Fantabulous just so he didn’t have to endure the post-op pain he’s in right now. Even a week post-op, the pain is just relentless. When a 60 minute surgery went over 180 minutes, I knew something was wrong. The doctor said, once he got into his shoulder and bicep it was way worse than expected. The doctor even warned me afterwards that he would be in a lot of pain, more than the last bicep tenodesis he had a few years back. I thought I could prepare myself for it but there was no way to prepare for this. 24/7 round the clock care with a few 45 minute cat naps thrown in here and there. All I can do is pray that he’s had the worst of the pain thus far and the rest of just normal healing.

New Recipes – taking requests!

I have so many new recipes coming up on the blog that I’m actually having a hard time deciding which to post first. So let me ask you guys a question.

What types of recipes would YOU like to see on here? Leave a comment below

Here’s a rundown of what I have thus far:

• 2 types of soup
• 3 different type of meal prep bowls/dinners
• 4 sheet pan meals
• Gourmet Toasts
• Cookies
• Cakes
• Frostings
• Sandwiches
• Salads
• Smashballs

Plus I have a lot of Follow-On recipes. If you read my last post, Beef Barbacoa Follow-On recipes are new recipes that take a base recipe I have on here and show you how to make more stuff out of it. For example, my recipe is a HUGE hit on the blog. But what I didn’t post were recipes to show what to do with the meat once it’s cooked. So I’ll showcase how to take that barbacoa and use it in various ways  – sandwiches/wraps/pizza/bowls/meal preps and so forth. Get the idea?

And with that, have one fantabulously amazing week!
