Week 390 Menu

This was my week last week:  trying to stay positive, yummy cookies, and "ice ice baby."
Can you believe that a good chunk of January is already over?  I feel like my kids are still starting to go back to school from Christmas break.

Last week was very interesting.  I got to sleep in a lot.  I made a lot of quesadillas for lunch.  I ate a lot of cookies.  Here's what our week looked like, school-wise.

Monday:  no school (Martin Luther King day)
Tuesday:  the kids went to school all day, but my little guy was coughing and skipped preschool
Wednesday:  no school due to freezing rain
Thursday:  no school due to freezing rain
Friday:  2 hour delay, but the kids all went to school for a while, even my preschooler

I'm very thankful that the ice is all melting.  Our snow is sslllllllooooowwwwlllllyyyy starting to melt.  Weather is looking up and spring is getting closer every day.

Hoping we're back to our regular schedule now.  The kids definitely appreciate basketball practice and the chance to go to school a bit more now since they haven't gone much in the last two months.

Menu time:

Monday:  honey garlic chicken, whole wheat angel hair, broccoli

Tuesday:  turkey taco quinoa skillet (this is the 4th time this has been on my menu, maybe I'll get to make it this week)

Wednesday:  grill burgers/hot dogs

Thursday:  beef stroganoff

Friday:  homemade pizza

Saturday:  quick french dip w/green chilies

Sunday:  grilled teriyaki salmon, quinoa/or rice, steamed veggies

What are you making this week?  Feel free to share.  I love it when you do.  (My cute friend Julia shared last week.  Love it!)

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 ...
