Week 412 Menu (a little late)

This week was amazing!  We drove three hours to Durkee, Oregon to see the eclipse in totality.  So amazing, breathtaking and beautiful!  

This was our last week of school.  I took the kids school shopping individually.  The kids love going with me alone to buy school supplies and clothes.  It's a lot of driving, but it's worth it in the end.  It saves my sanity from not having to answer so many questions of "Can I get this?" at the same time.

This is what we actually ate this week...
Monday:  fancy sandwiches (Costco ham, extra sharp white cheddar cheese, lettuce, garden tomatoes, pickles on bakery french bread since I didn't have time to make this yummy bread)

Tuesday:  fried potatoes, chicken sausage, peppers and onions

Wednesday:  Greek yogurt parmesan chicken strips, simple orzo pilaf, garden veggies

Thursday:  leftovers

Friday:  pizza (see my instagram post for my new favorite shortcut)

Saturday:  church potluck picnic (took tons of garden produce to share as our contribution)

Sunday:  we're having 7up grilled chicken, cous cous, green beans, corn on the cob and watermelon (from our garden)

That's what our week's worth of dinners looked like.  How about you?  What did you have for dinner 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

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.  They loved the ch
