These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes!
Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! How were your holidays? Our Christmas was lovely. I’m a huge fan of a quiet holiday where it’s just us. It would be different if our family lived close, but they are thousands of miles away.
So instead, we keep it quiet and intimate. We open our presents, have our favorite Christmas breakfast (French Toast Casserole), stay in our pjs all day, watch football, and then have dinner. And yes, we snack on cookies…all day!
For NYE, we’ll stay home and watch the balls drop (since we live in Arizona, we don’t really have our own celebration, so we either watch the NY one or the CA one). We’ll have our annual pork and sauerkraut and NYE pretzel.
What Chef Lori is Up To This Week
- TIME OFF: I appreciate you all for encouraging me to take the last 2 weeks of December off. I was hesitant to do so, but my body needed it. Once we get through New Year’s Day, new recipes and awesome new videos (that you can actually relate to) are coming!
- HOLIDAY PARTY: This year, we’re hosting an “after” holiday party. Ours will be after New Year’s Day with some close friends to get together, eat some great food, and appreciate our friendships.

Did you make a recipe? Leave a blog comment!
So why do I ask this? Two reasons:
- Honest feedback is appreciated. It helps me learn and grow.
- 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!
