weekly menu 4-20-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Ours was pretty good, productive. I worked a ton in the studio on recipes and videos. I actually feel ahead of schedule, which means I can take it easy for a couple of days.

My 2 fig trees are producing like crazy; however, I had to buy mesh netting to go over them, as the birds here are pillaging them. This week, after I’m done in the studio with shoots, I need to desperately turn my attention to my raised beds. All of my basil needs to be topped, my rosemary shrub needs to be transplanted as it’s way too big for my beds, and I need to figure out what else I can plant. The only downside to the size of our beds is that I can’t really grow things like cucumbers or corn, since I don’t want to have to climb a ladder to harvest them.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • SPRING-TIME RECIPES: That Blueberry Jalapeno Jam recipe I posted inspired a bunch of new recipe ideas. So I want to get them all done this week, since they will be perfect for the season.
  • CRUMBLE BARS: I’m working on a Raspberry White chocolate crumble bar, but I’m not sure about the seeds. I don’t mind them in, but he hates them. I took the question to FB for a vote.

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!
