Week 355 Menu

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!  Can you believe that this week we'll be halfway through March already.  Whoa, I wish time would slow down a bit.  And, don't you love daylight savings time?  I had to take my boys to school today, so they could sleep in a little longer.  Tomorrow might be a little rough.

I tried a few new recipes last week and thought I'd share what I thought.  I made some Mexican chopped salad with cilantro-lime vinaigrette and liked it.  I even bought jicama for the first time ever.  My mom used to buy it when I was little but I hadn't eaten it in years.

Yesterday we had some teenage girls from church over for dinner.  The theme of the dinner was supposed to be a country, so we did Sweden, since my husband served a mission there.  I made Swedish meatballs and then at the last minute whipped up this Swedish apple cake with vanilla sauce.  It turned out to be pretty yummy, but my kitchen was a giant mess afterwards.  I am not good at cleaning up as I go especially when I'm in a rush.

Menu time for this week:

Monday:  chicken stir fry

Tuesday:  naan pizzas

Wednesday:  breakfast for dinner

Thursday:  grill hot dogs and maybe a rainbow fruit tray (or maybe just some rolos at the bottom of a quickly drawn rainbow picture like last year)


Saturday:  grilled Greek chicken with tzatziki sauce, veggies and grilled naan

Sunday:  tinfoil dinners

What are you making this week?  Feel free to share.  I love it when you do.

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
