Week 98 Menu

I'm finally getting into the swing of things with school having started a week and a half ago.  From now on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday meals are going to be either made in the crockpot or made ahead-stuck in the fridge-and ready to bake.  These are days when we have things scheduled right up until dinnertime.  Our days go a lot smoother after school if I plan ahead.  Preparation is everything during the school year!

Also, I'm trying to get my family to eat more fish.  I'm not a huge seafood fan, but I think it's good for all of us to eat it since it's good for you and I want my kids to like it.  I made homemade fish sticks last week and am making fish again this week.  Feel free to share what your family favorite fish dishes are.  I need all the good fish recipes I can get.  

 Monday: homemade pizza

Tuesday: Chicken Tetrazinni w/1 hour breadsticks

Wednesday: teriyaki burgers

Thursday: taco soup or white chili

Friday: broiled tilapia parmesan

Saturday: try Amazing Chilil's Fajitas

Sunday: Barbeque Beef Strips w/rice

Extra meals just in case I don't feel like making what I've planned:  orange chicken w/rice (thanks Meagan -- my kids love this!) or breakfast for dinner.

All right, that's what I've planned.  How 'bout you?  What's on your menu this week? 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. 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

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.  They loved the ch
