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 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
