Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Y’all, I’m so glad last week is over. Talk about CRAZY. We got the new AC units installed, but let’s say they are coming back today, as we are NOT happy. And if they don’t remediate this to our liking, well… I’ve already alerted those who need to be informed if further action needs to be taken.

Aside from that nightmare, I got a bunch of recipes done as it finally dipped to below 100°F so that I could fire up the smokers (and not die or melt). AND we FINALLY got rain!!! Like we had a full-on monsoon that lasted a few hours. And to boot, we had incredible lightning and thunder (we rarely get that part).

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • COMFORT FOODS: I’ve been making a lot of comfort foods and casseroles lately. It’s been so hot to cook, so many of these meals have been thrown together as 1-pan/pot dishes and made in the slow cooker, toaster oven, or my indoor smoker.
  • LOTS OF RECIPES: This past week, I made a TON of new recipes for the website. This week, it’s all about editing them and scheduling out the posts.
  • REQUESTS: Have a recipe request? Click the button below and shoot me an email!
submit recipe request

Did you make a recipe? Leave a blog comment!

So why do I ask this? Two reasons:

  1. Honest feedback is appreciated. It helps me learn and grow.
  2. Most folks read the comments first before they decide whether to make a recipe or not.
Leave a comment on The Kitchen Whisperer

This is how I grow and become a better Chef. I truly appreciate honest feedback on the recipes you’ve made by following the instructions as written! The most critical thing you can do for me is comment on the blog recipe post. 

When I look at someone else’s recipe, I read the comments, which I consider honest feedback. So when you make a recipe of mine or plan on making it, leave a comment on the post. Everyone else who goes to my site, and I would genuinely appreciate it!
