Week 150 Menu and a Giveaway!

This is my 150th menu post! I've been posting my menus every week since the summer of 2008. It's been a great habit and has made dinnertime at my house a lot easier! I don't always stick to my menu, but at least I have something planned.

Since it's my 150th post, I thought I'd have a giveaway. It's not anything big and fancy, since I'm not Pioneer Woman. It's just a little thank you to those of you that check my blog.

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.

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.

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.
