Weekly Menu

These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes! This week I highly recommend making the – Porcupine Meatballs, Cheesy Garlic Bread Spaghetti Bread Boats, and the homemade Ice Cream Viennetta!

Happy Sunday TKW Family! How was your past week? Well, ours started out to be absolutely amazing as we were heading to Vegas for the Pizza Expo however I ended up in the ER twice. I had to have another hand surgery, this one being an emergency surgery. Yes, a 3rd surgery on my hand. And what was expected to be a 90-minute surgery ended up being 3,5 hours long.

Needless to say, I’m pretty depressed by all of this. Not to mention in so much pain. Long story short… during my 2nd hand surgery the surgeon did a nerve reconstruction and put stints/sheaths around the nerves to protect them.

Apparently my body, after a year rejected them and started pushing them out and making the hand almost unusable.  So now I feel like I’m back to square one yet I’m well-versed with regards to the path ahead of me.

And on top of everything, our Anniversary is this week.

TKW On YouTube

As I mention every Sunday, I have a YouTube channel. I’d LOVE and appreciate it if you subscribed there. I’m brand spanking new there and with the millions of TKW Family members out there, I really need to build up my subscription base there.

Not only am I creating videos for my newer recipes but I’m also going back and creating them for my most popular recipes.

Since I have 1000+ recipes posted, it’ll take me a little bit to get them all done but I’ll get there.

My goal is to do more longer-type 10-15 minute cooking videos where I talk to you while cooking – think TV show but candid.

Candid in the sense of – I scrape the whole bowl out (no, we don’t waste stuff in my house), I’ll get batter on my face, flour on my chest, and laugh at myself because I dropped/tripped/or just messed up what I was trying to say.

You’ll get me as me – true authentic Lori

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 first before they decide on making a recipe or not.

We all visit blogs looking for delicious items and inspiration. What I find (and you should as well) the MOST USEFUL thing is the comments that people leave. Honest feedback, good or bad but respectful please, on a recipe.

You can give suggestions on what you’d tweak or a spin you put on it. Heck or just tell me that you loved it! Like how to make vegan, keto, or not use mushrooms.

This is how I grow and become better on here and it gives you guys real feedback. The absolute most critical thing you can do for me is to leave a comment on the blog recipe post. 

When I look at someone else’s recipe I read the comments as to me, that’s honest feedback. So when you make a recipe of mine or plan on making it, leave a comment on the post. I, and everyone else that goes to my site, truly would appreciate it!
