Week 254 Menu (Thanksgiving Week)

Hi friends!  Wow, I just looked at my calendar and December is already filling up fast!  I'm looking forward to this week, so we can relax and enjoy being at home.

My husband took my 7 year old son to Notre Dame to watch them beat our BYU Cougars on Saturday.  They were gone for four days and got home late last night.  I can't wait until they get home from work and school today to hear more about their weekend.
 

I didn't cook much over the weekend.  It was a nice break!  Back to menu planning this week...

Monday:
taco soup (in crockpot)

Tuesday:
sloppy joes
oven fries
veggies

Wednesday:
pizza

Thursday:
Thanksgiving!
my favorite turkey
mashed potatoes and gravy
stuffing
roasted acorn squash
green beans
green salad
jello salad (maybe this mandarin orange jello salad)
my favorite crescent rolls
dessert is still TBD: probably lemon cream pie, banana cream pie, carrot pudding, peach pie

Friday:
turkey noodle soup (after we go cut down a Christmas tree... if the weather cooperates)

Saturday:
leftovers

Sunday:
we're feeding the missionaries

crockpot chicken tacos with all the fixings

What's on your menu this week?  I'd love to hear what you're making for Thanksgiving.

Have a great 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. ...
