  1. OK Steph (your Mom’s friend from Louisville here) – tried 4 of six recipes from week one plus grilled shrimp patties and romaine from last week – we’re out of town for several days so I was wanting to skip a week of recipes and play catchup – loved having great choices, shopped food list and groceries in house and no old put-togethers or pizza last minute. I’m sold. Thank you!
