Week 311 Menu

Hi guys!  How was your weekend?  I guess it's not over for everyone, because of President's Day today.  I'm happy to have my kids home from school today.  Hopefully we can get the house tidied and some big homework projects done, then we can play!

How was your Valentine's Day?  We celebrated by having a few giggly fifth grade girls over for a make-your-own pizza night.  (Forgive the "action" cell phone shot.  Someday I'll get out my big camera...)
I posted a little about our v-day on facebook and instagram.  We made my favorite recipe of peanut butter cookies (my grandma's recipe) and topped them with dove heart chocolates.  Holy cow, so good!  And a little addictive too.  It's probably good that they're gone, so I don't have to finish them off.  :)

I've been doing pretty well at sticking to my menu the last few weeks.  It's been so nice to have a plan and it's helped me not have to run to the grocery store every day!

Menu time...

Monday:  broiled parmesan tilapia, simple orzo pilaf

Tuesday: sausage and potatoes

Wednesday: soup and salad (baked potato soup)

Thursday: hamburgers and baked fries

Friday: slow cooker kalua pork and coconut rice

Saturday: breakfast for dinner or leftovers

Sunday: bistro chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, one hour rolls

What are you making this week?  I love it when you share!  Have a great day.  :)

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 ...
