Week 167 Menu

Are you all ready for Valentine's Day tomorrow?  I'm not really sure what I'm doing for my kids.  I think of Valentine's Day as a family holiday.

My 7 year old daughter has high expectation for Valentine's Day.  Before my kids were school age I took them to a really fun pool (that is an hour drive away) and also surprised them with stuffed animal puppies.  Every year since then my little girl has reminded me of that fun day.  I'll have to figure out some fun surprise for them.  Last year I decorated the candelier about our table with hearts and bought Valentine plates with a little treat.

I think I'll make some heart shaped cinnamon rolls for breakfast like I saw on pinterest.

All right, now it's menu time...

Monday: Waikiki meatballs, rice, broccoli

Tuesday:  spicy honey chicken salad, homemade ranch dressing, homemade tortilla chips and salsa

Wednesday:  Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup (in crockpot), Macaroni Grill bread

Thursday: hamburgers, maybe teriyaki burgers and pesto burgers, oven fries

Friday:  breakfast burritos

Saturday: chicken enchilada casserole

Sunday:  Perfect Pot Roast, potatoes, carrots, gravy, etc.

All right.  That's what I'm making this week.  How about you?  Do you have any great Valentine Day dinner plans?

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
