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 ...

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 ...
