weekly menu 2-16-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Did you do anything special for Valentine’s Day? My week was good; I got a lot of work done, which is always a blessing.

Valentine’s Day is the one holiday where I ask Mr. Fantabulous not to do anything special, like go out to dinner or get me flowers. Places jack up the prices for no reason. I’d much rather him get me flowers on a random Tuesday just because. To me, that’s more special.

My perfect day started with him making me breakfast and “making” the rest of the day. I got to stay in my pjs all day, watch Pitch Perfect, and just relax. That night, we snuggled on the couch to watch our shows. We shut the world off, and honestly, it was what I needed.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • LENT EDITION: Having been raised Catholic, I still honor my mother by sharing Lenten recipes, not just tuna fish casserole. I’ll be working on some Lent recipes this week.
  • TAXES: I got the dreaded call from my accountant asking when I would be done gathering my tax stuff. Looks like I need to work on that too. Ugh…
  • REQUESTS: Have a recipe request? Click the button below and shoot me an email!

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 post about the recipe. 

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 to make it, leave a comment on the post. Everyone else who goes to my site, and I would genuinely appreciate it!
