These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes!
Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Last week was exhausting. We went to the Pizza Expo in Vegas for a couple of days. For me, after almost 40 years in this industry, going there is like a huge family reunion. It’s A LOT of walking, but it’s worth it. Plus, it’s just nice to get away. It’s only about a 5.5-hour drive through the Joshua Tree Forest and seeing the Snoopy Rock and all of the rock formations in Wikieup.
However, being gone like that really screws up my schedule work-wise. I just feel like all I’m doing is playing catch-up. But I did manage to make a huge dent in the pile of work I had to get done over the weekend. Hopefully, by tonight, I’ll be all caught up.
What Chef Lori is Up To This Week
- A MILLION RECIPES: Well, okay, not that many, but I have about 30 on my “plate” I have to get done this week, either for a final test before shooting/go-live, or ones that now need to be made for photos and videos
- SPRING CLEANING: The absolute worst thing about living in Arizona, more than the heat, is the amount of dust you get in your house. Even with all the windows closed, special air filters and so forth, it’s absolutely horrific. My very neglected house needs “washed” as my Mama used to call it.

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 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!
