Week 264 Menu

Hi friends!  Can you believe it's Monday again?  Time goes by so fast!



I'm excited for this week.  Since we haven't had hardly any snow this year, we haven't had any snow days, so my kids get to take one on Friday.  It'll be fun to have them home for Valentine's day and make President's Day weekend a little longer.  I wish we had snow...everything is so dry.  I worry about our beautiful ponderosa pine trees dying.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, I'll probably make some heart shaped things...pizza, cinnamon rolls to take to my kids' church teachers, little hearts in our soup, etc. 

One of my favorite Valentine's day dessert is fruit pizza.  I love it more than sugar cookies, so I make it every year around Valentine's day. 



Did you see my post on Friday about loving being a mama?

Does your kitchen counter top look like mine does in that picture?  It looks like that a few times a day.  I get it all cleaned off and then we eat another meal or the kids come home and unload their backpacks onto it.  It's a constant cleaning job.  The kitchen really is the heart of our home.  It's where I am most of the day.


All right...time to get my menu planned and then go clean off the kitchen counter again.  :)  I'm going to plan through next Monday, since I don't blog much on holidays when my family is home.


Monday:  grilled chicken sausage, cheesy potatoes, salad

Tuesday: white chicken chili

Wednesday:  fancy sandwiches on french bread (turkey, swiss, provolone, avocado, pesto mayo, etc.)

Thursday: sesame chicken salad

Friday: Valentine's Day - heart shaped pizza, strawberries, salad, fruit pizza

Saturday: easy night

Sunday:  chicken rolls, simple orzo pilaf, veggies


Monday:  tacos


That's what I'm making this week.  How about you?  What's on your menu 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
