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 Absolute Best Porcupine Meatballs,  Italian Tuna Crostini, and Chunky Portabella Mushroom Veggie Burgers!

Happy Sunday TKW Family!  How are y’all?  It’s funny – I say “y’all” even though I’m not a southern girl. I’m a Pittsburgh native and there it’s “yinz”. While I may have some Pittsburghese vernacular, I rarely say “yinz”.  Pittsburgh has its own language and it’s rather interesting, to say the least.

“Slippy”, “buggy”, “blinker”, “red-up” are just a few and the way certain words are pronounced is rough. But regardless of the lingo, it’s such an incredible city. I do miss it but honestly, I wouldn’t trade AZ living for anything. I’ve found our forever home.

Date Night

So do you still have a date night with your significant other? This is more for the folks that have been with their loved ones for more than 10+ years. When we lived back in PA, we didn’t really do that much as all of our time was spent remodeling the house or going to Home Depot and Lowes 4-nights a week. It got to the point where folks called that our “date night”. I didn’t find amusement in that as that’s not my type of store or what I consider a date.

However, since moving here and pretty much everything so close, we have a date night once a week and hit up the movies. It’s inexpensive and just so relaxing for us. In a few weeks we’re going to Vegas for a work conference for me and then the following weekend it’ll be his birthday weekend. I’m working on something special for that.

Reels

Have you seen the feature of Reels on Instagram and Facebook? They are anywhere from 15 seconds to 60 seconds little videos of content. I’ve been posting them on Instagram for quite some time now but have recently started to post some on Facebook too. If you get a chance, check them out!  While you’re there, please give me a follow!

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 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!
