These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes! This week I highly recommend making Crunchy Cold Thai Noodles, Instant Pot Beef Barbacoa, and Cucumber Ham & Cheese Pinwheels!
Happy Sunday TKW Family! How was your week? Ours was wonderful! We took a day trip and spent the entire day away from technology and work. I think it’s been maybe 6 years since we took time off. I forgot how beautiful Arizona is, to be honest.
What else? I FINALLY have my finished 2nd closet for my products and ingredients for TKW. I’ll share a picture on Instagram and Facebook this week to show it! You should see how amazing it looks.
And I got a new toy!
Meet Big Purple Sexy!
I’ve partnered up with Cedar Creek Sculptures to create open-fire deliciousness on their Santa Maria Asadera cooker. Seriously she is absolute perfection and stunningly beautiful!

New Partnership
So I’m SUPER particular about what companies I work with. As a Chef and Engineer, I have extremely high standards. I look for the best quality, repeatable quality, and it has to be something I truly love before I would ever recommend or put my backing behind. I came across 2 Gringo’s Chupacabra seasonings all because of a contest. From literally the very first opening of a jar of seasoning blend I was in love.
From the first bottle to the 10th bottle, each flavor is so incredibly balanced. And what I love is that you’re not locked into using it only on a specific type of protein or veggie. They truly are versatile. So we started chatting and I started posting some items on Instagram about how much I love their stuff.
One thing led to another and I’m now their Brand Ambassador. This isn’t something I jump into as it’s a huge deal for me to put my company behind a product but I am so in love with their stuff. What I have now from them is a special offer that my TKW Family members, when you use my link, can now save 15% off your entire order on their website. However, the way they coded it the only way you can get it is if you go through my link. When you check out the discount is auto-applied.
Right now I’m crushing hard on the Cluckaliscious, Chop Haus, and Ribnoxious.
Reels
Have you seen the feature of Reels on Instagram and Facebook? They are anywhere from 15 seconds to 60 seconds little videos of content. I’ve been posting them on Instagram for quite some time now but have recently started to post some on Facebook too. If you get a chance, check them out! While you’re there, please give me a follow!

TKW On YouTube
As I mention every Sunday, I have a YouTube channel. I’d LOVE and appreciate it if you subscribed there. I’m brand spanking new there and with the millions of TKW Family members out there, I need to build up my subscription base there.
Not only am I creating videos for my newer recipes but I’m also going back and creating them for my most popular recipes.
Since I have 1000+ recipes posted, it’ll take me a little bit to get them all done but I’ll get there.
My goal is to do more longer-type 10-15 minute cooking videos where I talk to you while cooking – think TV show but candid.
Candid in the sense of – I scrape the whole bowl out (no, we don’t waste stuff in my house), I’ll get batter on my face, flour on my chest, and laugh at myself because I dropped/tripped/or just messed up what I was trying to say.
You’ll get me as me – true authentic Lori
Did you make a recipe? Leave a blog comment!
So why do I ask this? Two reasons:
- Honest feedback is appreciated. It helps me learn and grow.
- Most folks read the comments first before they decide on making a recipe or not.
We all visit blogs looking for delicious items and inspiration. What I find (and you should as well) the MOST USEFUL thing is the comments that people leave. Honest feedback, good or bad but respectful please, on a recipe.
You can give suggestions on what you’d tweak or a spin you put on it. Heck or just tell me that you loved it! Like how to make vegan, keto, or not use mushrooms.
This is how I grow and become better on here and it gives you guys real feedback. The absolute most critical thing you can do for me is to leave a comment on the blog recipe post.
When I look at someone else’s recipe I read the comments as to me, that’s honest feedback. So when you make a recipe of mine or plan on making it, leave a comment on the post. I, and everyone else that goes to my site, truly would appreciate it!
