Week 32 Menu

I didn't cook much last week since my hubby was out of town, so we'll see how this week goes. Here's my menu for this week:

Monday: easy night

Tuesday: easy night

Wednesday: maybe I'll try this Chicken & Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Thursday: 5 year old birthday girl dinner, I think she wants meatball sandwiches

Friday: Caesar Chicken Pizza (need to try out my new pizza stone)

Saturday: soup if it's cold out or grilled something if it's not cold

Sunday: Ham and potatoes (isn't that a typical Easter meal?)


How can you not take a picture of a face like this? He's enjoying some Oreo cookie dough. Yum! And you can't post a picture of just one kid. Here are both of them. Don't forget to post your menus for this week and have a good one!

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.

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.

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
