Week 294 Menu

This weekend was great.  On Friday, my husband and I, along with our little guy in the baby backpack, hiked to the top of Wheeler Peak (the highest peak in New Mexico).  We hiked fast so we could make it back to get our kids from school and my legs are still feeling it.  It was a beautiful day and perfect weather.

Saturday was the General Women's Meeting where the leaders of our church speak to all women and girls age 8 and up.  I loved watching the inspiring messages with my sweet daughter.  I can't wait to read the messages again and again.  I loved the reminder of the renewal and peace we find in the temple, the house of the Lord and of the incredible love that our Heavenly Father has for each of us individually.
Sunday was the Primary Program in church, where the kids are the speakers in Sacrament meeting.  They practice songs all year and each have a part to memorize and recite.  The messages of the importance of families and trying to be better everyday were great to hear.  One of the thoughts that stuck with me was about trying to be the same in the dark as we are in light (acting the same whether or not people are watching).  I need to work on this and teach my children to do it too.

Now that I'm feeling uplifted and inspired, I'm ready to tackle this next week of soccer and after school craziness.  I love my little family and I'm so glad that I get to be with these amazing little people who amaze me every day.

Menu time...

Monday:  taco soup

Tuesday:  sausage and potatoes

Wednesday:  homemade pizza

Thursday:  spaghetti

Friday:  Swedish meatballs

Saturday: grill burgers

Sunday: crockpot something...to be determined

All righty...That's my plan.  How about you?  What's on your menu this week?  And, how was your weekend?  I'd love to hear.

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 ...
