Weekly Menu Plan 239

Each Weekly Menu Plan is a collection of delicious dinner recipes, side dishes and a few desserts that will hopefully offer a little dinner inspiration and help make your week a little smoother one recipe at a time.

So glad it’s Friday! It’s been a bit of a frustrating week!

My instagram account was shut down without any warning. When I tried to get on the other day it gave me an error message saying my account had been disabled for violating Instagram’s terms. Super frustrating and a little bit scary! My social media manager and I were both stunned because we knew I had done nothing wrong! Turns out someone decided to report me as “pretending to be someone else.” WHAT!?!?! How in the world would I pretend to be someone else by posting pictures of food that I make? We obviously disputed it and everything is ok now, but I’m a wee bit annoyed!

I think it really sucks that Instagram wouldn’t reach out to me first and give me a chance to dispute it before shutting my account down. And why are people so mean and stupid sometimes? Anyway, it’s all good now and I have to give a huge shoutout to my social medial gal Macall (@digitalmacall) for saving the day.

I am officially cold all day long now, so I have been making soup and chili a lot. If you’re constantly cold like I am, then The Instant Pot chili and creamy chicken gnocchi soup are going to be a welcome addition to your menu next week. Plus if you’re like us, we love on Halloween!

The slow cooker pumpkin dump cake is seriously fantastic and you really should make it!

Have a great weekend! Remember, I’d love to hear back from you about anything you make. If you’re on Instagram, please be sure and tag me (@jodi_lud_5boysbaker) if you make something.

XOXO
