Week 267 Menu

Hi friends!  Can you believe that it's already Wednesday night?

Monday morning I sat down at the computer right after my kids left for the bus stop and I started typing up this post.  Then the following happened:  naps, doctor appointment, dentist appointment, preschool drop off and pick up, homework, lots of piano practicing, violin practicing, piano lessons to teach, baby teething two molars, loads and loads of laundry, grocery shopping, indoor soccer practice, help in school classroom, etc., etc., etc.  Whew!  Just a typical week.

Now it's Wednesday evening and I'm finally going to finish posting my menu.  Probably mostly because I have no idea what to make for dinner for the rest of the week and blogging is kind of therapeutic for me. 

Yesterday I had no idea what to make for dinner.  I asked my sweet sister-in-laws on facebook what they were making, hoping for some inspiration.  They're all fabulous cooks!  All their ideas sounded great.  Right before I started teaching piano lessons in the afternoon, my doorbell rang and my sweet visiting teacher (who is the sweetest grandma from Switzerland) was holding a basket with a beautiful loaf of Swiss bread in it.  I immediately knew that I needed some soup to eat with it.  So after my lessons were over I whipped up some chicken noodle soup.  
The bread was delicious!  It was like a giant croissant.  Yum!  The soup was pretty good too, except that I'm scatterbrained and might have salted it a few times instead of just once.  (I got a little carried away salting my kalua pork on Sunday too.  I better watch myself with the salt.  Eek!)

Anyway...that bread was too good not to tell you about.  Food makes me happy!  Especially when it appears on my doorstep without any effort for me. 

So, anyway...here's my menu plan for this week.


Monday:  we had BBQ pork sandwiches topped coleslaw, oven fries, fruit

Tuesday: we had chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles

Wednesday: we had chicken caesar salad wraps


Thursday:  Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, green salad, homemade whole wheat bread (recipe coming soon)

Friday: brats & burgers, guacamole, quick salsa & homemade tortilla chips

Saturday: easy night, probably pizza

Sunday: breakfast burritos

What are you having this week?  Or what have you had the last few days?

Have a great rest of the week!

P.S.  Did you notice my new "Follow Me" buttons on the right sidebar?  I finally figured out how to make them.  I've been wanting to add them for a while.

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
