Week 271 Menu

Hi friends!  Happy Thursday!

I'm thinking maybe I should rethink the day that I menu plan.  I usually try to do it on Monday, but haven't been very good at it lately.  I think Thursday is my favorite day of the week.  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday end up being super busy and I don't have much time to spend on the computer.  Thursday end up being my "catch up" day. Anyway...

We are in the middle of spring break right now.  We took a quick trip to Utah last week.  We visited lots of family.  And we got to attend a session of general conference, where our church leaders speak...always uplifting and wonderful!


My little girl turned ten this week too!  Can't believe I've been a mom for ten years.  Crazy!\

I have lots of things that I want to blog about.  Hopefully I'll find some time to post them.  Kids, laundry, dinner, house projects, etc. seem to take priority over blogging these days.


Menu time:

Monday:  we were on the road

Tuesday:  beef and broccoli

Wednesday:  ham, funeral potatoes, cloud light crescent rolls,

Thursday:  bistro chicken

Friday: Asian BBQ chicken, whole grain cous cous


Saturday:  beef stew

Sunday:  manicotti

All right...That's what we've been eating and are going to eat this week.  How about you?  If you haven't menu planned this week, feel free to post what you've had for dinner so far.

Have a great weekend!

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It will be a little sticky, b

Don't like your house to smell like food? I've got a kitchen tip for that!

I have a smallish, one story house and if I cook food that is kind of smelly, like onions, the smell tends to linger in every room.  This is a pet peeve of mine and (also my husband's).  Over the years I've found a few ways to cook smelly food without smelling up the kitchen. Use your garage!   I use my garage quite often to cook things in.  I open the window and it airs out, especially when you open the garage door.  I'm sure my neighbors wonder what I'm cooking. I've used two different kitchen appliances in the garage:  my crockpot and my food dehydrator. Crockpot - I did this very thing today since I'm simmering chicken, onions, carrots and celery to make chicken noodle soup tonight.  I don't want my house to smell like onions all day, so I plugged it in on my husband's workbench.   Food dehydrator - when I make jerky, I plug the food dehydrator in in the garage.  I don't really want my house to smell like meat for hours
