Week 317 Menu (Looking Back at Last Week)

Hi guys! Last week was spring break for my kids. We spent most of the week at home doing soccer camp and hanging out together. Pretty fun!

We started out the week with crepes for breakfast on Monday. Mmm...nothing like peanut butter and nutella for breakfast.

On Thursday we drove to Utah for a whirlwind trip. It was a fast trip, but fun to see lots of family. We got to have lots of Easter fun too. Hopefully my kids are sick of candy now. :)

I had great intentions of posting my menu last Monday, but the week got away from me and here we are at the start of another week. I thought I'd post what we actually ate last week.

Here goes:

Monday: french dip sandwiches using leftover perfect pot roast

Tuesday: breakfast burritos

Wednesday: spaghetti, french bread, better than everything cake, salad

Thursday: chicken salad wraps while driving to Utah

Friday: grilled hamburgers with lots of family, I made some teriyaki burgers that were yum!

Saturday: yummy carne asada or chicken tacos made by my sister-in-law

Sunday: hmmm...did we have dinner? We spent the day driving home to Washington and snacked a lot. Remember my favorite road trip food post? That's pretty much what we ate.

All righty... I'm off to tackle unpacking and cleaning out my car. Ready for a full week of baseball, running, scouts, homework, birthday, etc. This week's menu needs some serious planning so it's doable. I'll be back tomorrow with it...hopefully!

How about you? What did you eat last week? Feel free to share even if you weren't home the whole week, like me. ;) You still ate, right?

Have a happy Monday!

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
