Week 154 Menu


Look at my pretty applesauce that I made a little while ago.  I'd never made applesauce by myself before (only w/my sis-in-law and mother-in-law), so I took a day and made a big mess of my kitchen and made 23 quarts of applesauce.  I love how each bottle is a different color.  I can't wait to eat it!

I don't know if you noticed or not that I didn't post my menus last week.  I was going to do it several different times, but it got really, super busy.  The week started out with my in-laws visiting, then it overlapped with me taking a last minute trip to UT by myself to go to my grandma's funeral, and that trip overlapped with my hubby being gone for a few days traveling for work.  I'm finally getting on top of all the cleaning, laundry, dishes and piles of papers that collected during the week.

This week looks like it'll be a busy one, but at least my whole family will be home together. 

Monday: spicy honey chicken on salad w/baked tortilla strips

Tuesday: homemade bread, turkey, guacamole, provolone sandwiches

Wednesday: homemade pizza

Thursday:  waikiki meatballs w/rice

Friday:  slow cooker tamale pie

Saturday:  ward trunk or treat and potluck chili/cornbread dinner (taking white chili)

Sunday: cube steak w/rice

That's what I'm making thiw week.  What's on your menu this week?

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. ...
