weekly menu 5-4-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Well, it looks like our gorgeous spring weather is coming to a close, as this weekend we’ll be well into the 100’s again. But I think we’re almost set for it.

Mr. Fantabulous is adding more drip lines to some of our new trees, and I’ve been tending to my garden when I’m not in the kitchen. It’s funny because, as a child, it was ‘punishment’ in my eyes when I was asked to work in the garden. My job, though, was the dirty one where I was in charge of weeding or getting those huge hornworms off tomato plants. I was too little to do the fun stuff like using a hoe or the rototiller. I keep telling Mr. Fantabulous that in our next house, I want a proper ground garden just so I can have a rototiller.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • RECIPES: I have a super busy week coming up – a TON of new recipes for here, and for my brands where I work as a consultant chef.
  • CLEANING: The WORST thing about living in Arizona is how incredibly dusty everything gets – even with the windows closed. I spent 3 hours sweeping the floors last weekend. This week I’ll spend a few hours dusting and waxing (only to do it again in a week). #NoRestForTheWicked right?!

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!
