Week 365 Menu

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!  I'm pretty excited for today, mainly because I am planning on NOT getting in my car and running errands.  Amazingly my kids don't have any sports of any kid tonight, so we can just stay home, eat dinner sitting at the table, do homework, have family night and hopefully get the kids in bed.  And only 13 more days of school left!!!!

I am planning on doing some closet cleaning (I have a whole room that is scary, very scary and it needs to be marie-kondoed) and bathroom cleaning too.  

I've got to make some bread today.  My daughter made some perfectly, fluffy, yummy bread over the weekend, but it was gone in a flash and one of my boys had to have crackers and cheese in his lunch instead of a sandwich.   My poor kids have had plenty of lame lunches lately since I haven't been good at buying or making bread.  Usually my daughter makes it and we have plenty around.  

I'm loving watching my garden grow.  I planted it two weeks ago.  We've been gathering a bowls full of strawberries too.  Yummy.

Menu time...

Monday:  spaghetti, fresh whole wheat bread, corn on the cob

Tuesday:  homemade pizza

Wednesday:  breakfast burritos

Thursday:   grilled chicken, sweet potato quinoa salad (my favorite), 

Friday:   teriyaki meatballs, rice/quinoa, broccoli

Saturday:   slow cooker kalua pork (use for cafe rio pork tacos/salad and freeze some for later)


What are you making this week?  Feel free to share your menus.  I love it when you do.  Have a great Monday!

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
