Week 352 Menu: Making up for dinnertime fails

Happy Monday!  I was so happy to see that it was kind of light before my daughter left the house at 6:30 this morning.  (I miss the days of everyone leaving the house at 8 am.  Those days are gone...)  I even made muffins for breakfast for my 3 year old (everyone else opted for cereal, weirdos).  

I have been slacking at dinnertime and I think my family has noticed.  I did make dinner a few times last week, but we've had a dinner fail (so we ate cereal instead) and some bad planning on my part.  I've decided that I don't care who complains about what I've made, at least there are some options.  And for my cholesterol problem, I'm going to load up on veggies and eat less meat and more veggies.  Sometimes it's hard for me to plan dinner because I try to please everyone and make it healthy and then I just don't make anything.  Lovely.  I'll figure this out...

Monday:  I made some applesauce muffins for breakfast.  Have chicken tortellini soup and whole wheat bread for dinner (I cooked the soup this morning to hang out in the fridge until dinnertime...it's better when it's been chilled for a while).  

Tuesday:  chicken fajita salad with quesadillas on the side

Wednesday:  pulled pork (from freezer) tacos, homemade salsa

Thursday:  make your own sandwiches (chicken salad or ham/cheese or peanut butter for the picky eaters)

Friday:  baked potato soup, cornbread muffins, big green salad

Saturday:  breakfast burritos

Sunday:  orange chicken, rice/quinoa, stirfried veggies

What are you making this week?  I love it when you share!  Have a good day!  And, I really am going to have a giveaway soon, so stay tuned!

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

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.  They loved the ch
