Week 322 Menu

Hi guys!  How can it be that it is already June 1st?  That means we've lived in Washington for five months now!   Crazy. 

I have so many things I've been wanting to blog about, but haven't made it to the computer yet.  Like my first trip to Seattle, how my new "diet" is going, yummy recipes,  etc. 

This week is totally crazy.  We have something every night and my son is doing games/practices for three different sports all in the same week, plus a piano recital, middle school orientation, fun stuff at school, etc.  I'm trying to simplify as much as possible. Menu planning is a must this week or we'll be eating oatmeal every night.

So, here comes my menu for the week.  Hopefully I'll get to blog about other stuff soon.  :)

Here goes... (recipes found on my recipe page.  I'm typing on my phone and don't want to hassle with links.  Sorry!)

Monday:  bbq beef on pretzel rolls

Tuesday:  meatball sandwiches

Wednesday:  taco soup

Thursday:  grilled Greek chicken in pitas

Friday:  chicken tortellini soup

Saturday:  easy night

Sunday:  grill something,  maybe pizzas

This week's menu is pretty heavy on carbs.  I've been eating way less bread than normal.  And I've been trying to eat totally cholesterol free lunches and breakfast so I can eat with my family semi-normally at dinner. 

What are you making this week? 

I know some of you are in summer mode already.  We still have two fill weeks of school. I don't mind too much,  but my kids might.  

Have a great week!

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
