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! Ours was pretty good; busy, but in a good way. I spent so much time in the kitchen working on recipes. Seriously, when you love what you do, it never truly feels like work.
We watched A LOT of football, and we’re gearing up for the Steelers game tonight. Y’all, their last game just about gave me a stroke! I don’t think I ever yelled at the TV that much or said that many curse words. But we won, by a hair, and I’m anxious for the game to start tonight. I got our party hoagie ring made up, the drinks are cold, and the chips and dip are ready to go. Steelers Nation, baby!
What Chef Lori is Up To This Week
- SOUPS: We finally had to turn on our furnace last week. Yes, 60°F and below is FREEZING here. We actually had a freeze warning 2 nights in a row as it got to 33°F. So I’m working on 2 new soup recipes for the website.
- MEAL PREP RECIPES: Since I just shared a base recipe for the best oven-baked chicken, I want to show you some follow-on recipes on how to use it in different ways.
- REQUESTS: Have a recipe request? Click the button below and shoot me an email!
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!
