Week 229 Menu

Well, it's Thursday and I'm finally posting my menu.  This week has been busy and crazy, but I'm beginning to think that that's normal for my life.  :)  I'm working on prioritizing what needs to be done and realizing that there is no way that I can possibly do everything that I need/want to do. 

Anyway....I'm feeling grateful today that my little family is safe and sound after the crazy tornadoes this week.  Praying for those in Oklahoma...

I guess it's menu time...

Monday:  we had leftovers

Tuesday:  we had crockpot chicken stroganoff

Wednesday:  we had quick French dip sandwiches

Thursday:  BBQ Caesar Chicken, grilled potatoes

Friday:  Chicken Caesar wraps

Saturday: Chicken fajitas

Sunday:  Baked potato soup

What have you been making 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 will be a little sticky, b

Don't like your house to smell like food? I've got a kitchen tip for that!

I have a smallish, one story house and if I cook food that is kind of smelly, like onions, the smell tends to linger in every room.  This is a pet peeve of mine and (also my husband's).  Over the years I've found a few ways to cook smelly food without smelling up the kitchen. Use your garage!   I use my garage quite often to cook things in.  I open the window and it airs out, especially when you open the garage door.  I'm sure my neighbors wonder what I'm cooking. I've used two different kitchen appliances in the garage:  my crockpot and my food dehydrator. Crockpot - I did this very thing today since I'm simmering chicken, onions, carrots and celery to make chicken noodle soup tonight.  I don't want my house to smell like onions all day, so I plugged it in on my husband's workbench.   Food dehydrator - when I make jerky, I plug the food dehydrator in in the garage.  I don't really want my house to smell like meat for hours
