Week 357 Menu

Happy Monday!  I kind of wish that our spring break started today instead of starting next week.  I'm in vacation mode.  We took a little trip to Seattle with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and family last week.  It was really fun and a great break!
 We did all of our Easter traditions after church yesterday.  We dyed eggs, had an indoor egg hunt (it was windy and cold outside) and I made up a little scavenger hunt for the kids (super small and inexpensive) Easter gifts.  Luckily, my kids know that I am the one that hides eggs and brings candy and patiently waited to do it all after church since I didn't have anything ready in the morning.  My 3 year old was really into dying eggs and finding them.  It was fun!

Now I'm feeling unmotivated to tackle the laundry and daily tasks.  Plus I went to a weights class at the gym this morning and my arms are feeling like noodles.  :)  A good feeling though...can't wait to toughen those muscles up.

This week is full on busy with tons of after school activities, piano lesson teaching and sports.  I'll have to prep dinner before the kids get home or we'll end up eating cereal.

Here we go.  Menu time.

Monday:  Asian BBQ chicken, ham fried rice

Tuesday:  orange glazed meatballs, quinoa, stirfry veggies


Thurdsay:  pepperoni bread, spinach salad

Friday:  white chili

Saturday:  easy night

Sunday:  grilled steak, roasted veggies, fruit salad

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 ...

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 ...
