Week 62 Menu and French Toast Waffles

All right, I guess I'll take a break from my huge pile of laundry and from shoveling the snow and plan my menu for the week.

But, first I want to share with you my version of french toast waffles. It's just what it sounds like french toast made in the waffle iron. I used to make my french toast this way when I was little because I liked it really crispy. I made these for my kids the other day and they loved it. It's super easy and makes breakfast (or dinner) a little different.

French Toast Waffles

the perfect egg to milk ratio for french toast is this: 1/4 c. milk to every 1 egg

I usually use 3 eggs and 3/4 c. milk

Dip bread into beaten eggs and milk. Cook in waffle iron. Enjoy!

Now menu time:

Monday: cubed steak w/rice

Tuesday: something easy -- I have to teach piano lessons and then am having a baby shower at my house, maybe chicken broccoli braid w/rice

Wednesday: chicken tetrazinni

Thursday: clam chowder

Friday: Swedish meatballs

Saturday: tacos

Sunday: something in the crockpot, maybe all-day salsa chicken

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 ...

Chicken Angelo

Don't forget to enter the Whirley Pop giveaway . It ends tomorrow! Am I the only person that asks their friends what they're making for dinner all the time? That's kind of why I started this blog, because I want to know what my friends are making for dinner. The other day I asked my friend, Juli (who is great cook), what she was making for dinner. She told me she was making Chicken Angelo. Then she told me what's in it. I knew I had to try it too because she has some picky eaters at her house like I do. I figured if they'll eat it then maybe it was worth a try at my house. This Chicken Angelo pasta has my favorite things, artichoke hearts and mushrooms in it. But don't be fooled into thinking that my family likes these things too. Because they don't. They won't touch an artichoke or mushroom with a ten foot pole. That being said, my family loved this pasta dish. They even gave me the go ahead to make it again. ...
