Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Ours was C-R-A-Z-Y! I swear I was on the phone more than I was in the kitchen. And anyone who knows me knows I hate talking on the phone. It’s just torture for me. I made sure to clear my schedule this week of almost all meetings just so I could focus on work.

We have a ton of things going on right now, and it’s like we’re being pulled in 37 different directions at once. BUT the one good thing is we’re finally at the point, at least I think we are, to start creating upgraded videos. I’m excited about that. Heck, I even got my hair done – only took me what, 12+ years LOL

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • APPETIZERS: It’s just been so hot and miserable here that making any “real food” is out of the question, so I’m focusing on nibbles and game day bites.
  • REQUESTS: Have a recipe request? Click the button below and shoot me an email!
submit recipe request

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, I would genuinely appreciate it!
