Eeeek!  My older daughter came home on Friday night for a visit this weekend and I completely forgot to press send on the dinner planner!  So sorry!

I had a great week this week.  I am feeling better every day although that cough will come back between 8-10 pm every night if I talk too much.  I will be updating my old post about home remedies when you’re sick because so many people message me all day every day about what worked for me and I really want to help more people.  These viruses this year are NO JOKE!  I was on Home and Family on Tuesday morning, taught a great cooking class, shot a ton of recipes for the blog and now will take the weekend to rest.  Going forward, I am not going to be working on my computer every chance I get.  I want to respect my body and mind and be present for my family and friends.  So far, so good.  🙂  Lastly, MY NEW COOKBOOK, “QUICKER THAN QUICK” IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER ON AMAZON!!! I will be posting a separate blogpost with more details. But in the meantime, check it out and if you love my first book, would you do me the hugest favor and write a review?  It will help my new book get more visibility.  Thanks a million!
