weekly menu 5-11-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Last week, I was seriously in my groove. I got so much work done in the studio and outside. I think I was mentally preparing for this week, as I have to stop taking all my allergy meds (I take 3 a day), since next week I get to have the full gamut of allergy prick tests. OH THE FLIPPIN’ JOY.

I had one done about 15 years ago, and with moving to AZ, my allergies are a million times worse (thus the 3 daily prescriptions). I’m praying I don’t have to go back to getting the shots. I already told Mr. Fantabulous that if I have to, we are most definitely getting a dog (and a cat if I have my way). That’s one of the main reasons we don’t have one now.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • STAYING INDOORS: With my being off all allergy meds, I’m staying indoors. They are bad indoors, but nowhere near as bad as when I go outside. Stupid nature lol
  • NEW RECIPES: I have a list of 10 recipes I need to finalize, test, and shoot this week.
  • 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 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!
