Week 360 Menu

Hi everyone!  How was your weekend?  Mine was great; full of lots of activites, food and friends.  We had soccer, jazz band festival, fed the missionaries (I posted on instagram what I made), hosted a birthday party, yard work, wonderful time at church working with the primary kids, and a little relaxing this afternoon. 

 I took a break from posting on instagram for a while, but have posted a few times in the last few days.  It's my favorite way to share my favorite things with you all.  
I snapped this picture on Saturday evenings.  My daughter had a few friends over for a birthday party.  It was the easiest party ever.  All I did was provide food and my husband made a good fire in the firepit.  They roasted their own hot dogs.  Instead of birthday cake we had lots of smores options.  The kids had tons of fun and wished they could have stayed later to play more night games.  Can't wait for summer nights with late night fires and kids playing outside!  

This week's after school activities call for some major menu planning!  I'm excited for warm weather!  This week should be upper 80s.  Sheesh!  It's April, but I'll enjoy it.  

Monday:  honey garlic chicken (seriously so good and super fast to prep!) on angel hair/spaghetti squash, roasted broccoli

Tuesday:  enchiladas

Wednesday:  steak stir-fry and quinoa/rice

Thursday:  chicken taquitos and homemade salsa and quacamole (this is one of our go-to dinners to take to the baseball or soccer field and I make this salsa at least once or twice a week)

Friday:  sloppy joes

Saturday: broiled parmesan tilapia, simple orzo pilaf, veggies

Sunday:  easy night

All right!  Now off to the grocery store.  Bring on the week!  I've got dinner planned...that's the hard part.  :)  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
