These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes!
Happy Monday and Happy 2026, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic holiday season! I don’t know about you, but I swear the time between Christmas and NYE is a blur. Like, wasn’t it just Thanksgiving 3.2 seconds ago?
We had such a relaxing holiday just the two of us. We stayed in our pjs for days on end, watched a bunch of football, ate way too many cookies, and just relaxed. We had a rough Q4 work-wise (busy), and we both needed time off to catch our breath.
I’m excited for the new year, as we have so many amazing projects planned, some trips, and a bunch of giveaways too!

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!
