Week 385 Menu



Hi everyone!  I finally feel like it is December now.  We went to the mountains on Saturday and cut down our Christmas tree.  We got to hike through snow to the top of the mountains so we could find a smaller (8-9 ft) tree.  It's a beauty and our house smells amazing!

Now bring on all things Christmas!  

My family and I have been trying to #LIGHTtheWORLD and I love that my kids are trying a little harder to serve others.  I've been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of some of their service.  It's me a little more aware of the service that I do naturally each day and how I can improve and serve others.

I didn't post my menu for last week until Sunday.  It was a bit of a crazy getting-back-into-the-swing-of-things-after-vacation week.  I planned it on Monday but didn't end up publishing my post.  I'm determined to do better this week.  (Update:  haha, it's Thursday and I AM going to post my menu today!)

Monday: meatloaf, baked potatoes, salad, green beans

Tuesday:  creamy wild rice and chicken soup, one hour rolls (subbed half the flour with white wheat flour and they turned out great)

Wednesday:  fancy sub sandwiches (french bread from the store bakery or this recipe is good too, ham, swiss, avocado, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.)

Thursday:  homemade pizza

Friday:  crockpot pork, mashed potatoes

Saturday:  easy night

Sunday:  family choice

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
