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! Last week was pretty good. The best part is we FINALLY got some much-needed rain. Have to admit, it still shocks me that I now get happy and wish for rain considering that I come from Pittsburgh where we would get more rainy days than sunny.
But with the rain and damp weather here came the RA flare-ups. So working and typing has been hard but I push through. Work doesn’t stop and I certainly don’t take a break. I just do things differently and ask for more help than usual. I guess it was a blessing if you will as it gave me a chance to slow down and make some sweet treats in the way of ice cream. I have a countertop compressor ice cream maker that I LOVE as there’s no pre-freezing bowls (seriously hate that!) and we have amazing ice cream in under 60 minutes. This past week I made strawberry cheesecase, vanilla bean, and fudge ripple with brownie chunks.
What Chef Lori is Up To This Week
- Rainy Day Foods: Even though it’s still super hot, the rain makes me crave soups and comfort foods. So I’m working on a few one-pot recipes this week.
- Meal Prep Recipes: How many of you meal prep full meals vs indiviual foods that you can mix and match during the week?

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!
