weekly menu 7-13-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Last week was just…ugh. Let’s just say I’m glad it’s over. I swear I had a headache every day from stress. I actually sat in bed last night because I can’t sleep as of late, just looking at flights… to anywhere. Seriously, I just put in a price and said, “Find me a flight and hotel for this much.”

To know me, I’m not one to ever run from stress; rather, I’m one who charges forward through it like a bull. So as my Mama always used to say, “Lori, put on your big girl gutchies and go handle it.” So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Which means Tuscany will have to wait…Plus, I kind of need to renew my passport anyway. LOL, and frankly, I think if I went to Tuscany right now, I’d end up buying property there for us to move permanently. It’s always been a dream to live in Italy.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • SUMMER RECIPES: It’s been so freaking hot here that honestly, you don’t even want to eat. So I’m going to focus on recipes that require little effort or heat and definitely no oven (unless you count, say, a toaster oven).
  • 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!
