Weekly 12-22-25

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Well, last week was absolutely chaotic. Mr. Fantabulous ended up having surgery on his left hand for Trigger Finger. He had the appointment on Tuesday and surgery on Wednesday. So that threw a monkey wrench into my work and holiday shopping plans.

But thank goodness the surgery went without any issues, and he had little to no post-op pain. I was still able to get a good bit of work done, though, at this point, I STILL have no idea what I’m making for Christmas dinner.

To all of you, my Christmas wish this year is that every person reading this knows they are loved, cherished, appreciated, and considered family.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • CHRISTMAS MENU: I have 2 days to plan and shop for our Christmas dinner. Lord, give me the strength to handle Costco during this period.
  • RELAXATION: While I’m taking the week off to catch my breath and enjoy the holidays with Mr. Fantabulous and our friends, you can always email me or contact me on social media if you have a question.

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 before deciding whether to make a recipe.

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, and that’s honest feedback to me. 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!
