Steak Bite Kabobs

I wanted to make my hubby steak for Father's Day.  However, when I looked in my freezer, I realized that I didn't have any steak (time to buy more beef from my calf-raising dad).  I had a few roasts though.  I cut one of the roasts up into cubes (I felt like a real butcher), then I marinated them overnight and skewered them on kabob sticks and grilled them.  Delicious!  My kids especially liked them.   

Grilled Steak Bite Kabobs

1.  Cut beef into cubes.

2.  Make marinade.  I used my favorite beef marinade from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.  

1 c. soy sauce (I used 3/4 c. and it works great)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. pineapple juice (I buy the six pack of little pineapple juice cans)
3 garlic cloves, minced

3.  Marinate beef overnight or at least for a few hours.

4.  Soak kabob sticks if you're using wood.  Stick meat onto skewers.  Try to use the same size of meat pieces one each kabob, so they cook evenly.  

5.  Grill meat on one side for a few minutes, then turn kabob stick over and grill on the other side until the meat is done to your liking.  It doesn't take long to grill them.

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

Havreflarn (Swedish Oat Crisp Cookies)

We had some teenagers over for a Swedish themed dinner last night.  They were participating in a "missionary for a day" activity.  They were paired up into companionships, like the official missionaries for our church and were assigned to a family for dinner.  They ate with us and then taught us a lesson about Heavenly Father's plan for us.   My husband served a mission in Sweden.  He lived there for two years and loved it.  Swedish meatballs are a staple at our house.  (They're super easy to make and my pickiest eater's favorite!).  When we visit IKEA we usually stock up on the cream gravy packets and jars of Lingonberries.  We were out of lingonberry, but after a few phone calls, I found some at one of our local grocery stores. We ate meatballs, gravy, lingonberry, mashed potatoes (I ran out of time, other wise I would have steamed little red potatoes from our garden) and green beans (though my husband doesn't remember eating them in Sweden

The Best French Bread I've Ever Made

This is the best french bread I've ever made.  I got this recipe from my friend, Nikki, who gave us some of this bread as a thank you for my hubby helping them move a piano.  I remember it being delicious and we gobbled it up fast.  I was intimidated for some reason by the recipe and waited a few years before I made it. We needed some bread for to make some turkey, provolone, avocado sandwiches, so I made some of this bread and it was perfect!  We sliced one loaf like they do at Subway.  Then later I made normal shaped sandwiches with the rest of the bread.  Delicious... light and fluffy and yummy! Update 2/22/12: This is still my favorite bread after making it for a year! It turns out perfect every time and it's gone in a flash! printable recipe French Bread recipe from my friend, Nikki Yield: 2 loaves   Ingredients 2 c. warm water 1 pkg (or 1 heaping Tbsp.) yeast 1/4 c. granulated sugar 1 T. olive oil
