Week 256 Menu

Happy Monday everyone!

Here's a few of my random thoughts on a Monday. 

*  I'm enjoying our very simply decorated tree this year.  It's covered with a hodge-podge of decorations, most of which are not breakable, so they are safe from little baby guy.  My kids move them around wherever they want.  I'm not too bothered about it.  I'm all about simplifying this month!  


*  Living in Hawaii would be nice.  I'm not a huge fan of the cold temperatures and snow that we've been having.  Brrr!  Maybe a cute pair of boots would make me a fan of cold.

*  I finally joined Amazon Prime!  I love it!  I'm getting most of my Christmas shopping done online now thanks to Prime and my Target Redcard.

*  I made one of my favorite soups of all time for dinner last night, Creamy Chicken & Mushroom.  Can't wait for lunch to finish up the leftovers.  Yum!

*  I made one of my favorite treats for a cookie exchange last week, Seven Layer Bars.  Yum!  I remember why I only make them when I'm taking them somewhere.  Delicious and addictive!

*  Everyone in my family, even the baby, has had the stomach flu during the last three weeks.  My apologies to everyone that my family has unintentionally infected!  I hate the stomach flu.  It seems like you always come down with it right after you say "I think we're all healthy," and have friends over for the day or spent a lot of time with other people.  Ugh!  I'll be glad to be done with buying gatorade and saltine crackers. 

Time to menu plan...

Monday:  grilled BBQ Caesar chicken, rice, veggies

Tuesday:  chicken tetrazinni,

Wednesday: quick french dip pitas

Thursday: sausage and potatoes

Friday:  Christmas dinner at the church

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. ...

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 ...
