The Week in Recipes

ISSUE #143 — November 6, 2025

Drumroll . . . my most-viewed VINTAGE casserole recipe is: Hunt’s 7-Layer Casserole! (Perfect for Game Day, recipe below.) My most-viewed ORIGINAL recipe is of course my Stairway to Heaven Mac and Cheese - with over 50 thousand views!

This week, you can responsibly sip a Chapala (or two) and nibble a few cocktail tacos, while reviewing “taste thrill” ideas from French’s.

And I’m telling you, next week’s paid newsletter is one you won’t want to miss. Vertigo Movie Night Menu, featuring, of course, “a big beautiful steak,” Wicked Word Search, not to mention my Next Level Pizza Casserole (a truly premium, awesome new recipe). Paid subscribers will even be first to get the Thanksgiving Budget Survival Guide (my latest money-saver!) and so much more—including additional, exciting new recipes!

What a week. Stay special, and don’t go changin’! — Brian Theis
