Week 417 Menu

-
Gorgeous sunrise this morning! Great way to start week.
Hi everyone!  I think we're finally recovered from last week.  The combination of the time change, my husband being out of town for work and a new sports schedule was a little crazy.  I'm ready for this week and excited that we no longer have soccer practices, so we can eat dinner at a normal time as a family!  That means I should actually make dinner.  :)

Last week I made a couple of recipes that I used to make all the time and then hadn't made for probably over a year.  My kids were funny and the older kids were like, "oh yah, I remember this" and the little kids thought it looked weird.  But everyone ate it and survived!  The long-forgotten recipes were broiled parmesan tilapia and chicken crockpot stew.  Both so easy and pretty fast to prep!

Monday:  breakfast burritos


Wednesday: broccoli cheese soup, one hour rolls


Thursday:  easy night

Friday: grill burgers, baked fries

Saturday: easy night

Sunday:  homemade pizza

What about you?  What's on your menu this week?  Feel free to share.  I love it when you do!  (Shout out to my sweet friend, Julia, for sharing last week.  Her food is the yummiest!  You should check out her blog.)

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, but add enough flour so …

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!

Instant Pot Black Beans

I bought myself an Instant Pot for Christmas.  Did you get one too?  The sale on Amazon on Black Friday was too good to pass by.  I have seen posts of yummy food that has been made in an Instant Pot so I knew that it would be a good investment.  
Now that I have one of my own, I am excited to experiment more and more with it.  We made some pork tacos, Cafe Rio/Costa Vida style last night with beans, rice, cilantro ranch, homemade salsa and everything else.  I whipped up these beans to go with it and they were done (without soaking) in less than an hour.  Amazing!  I'm excited to stop buying cans of beans and using dry beans.

Feel free to add whatever ingredients you want to flavor your beans.  The basic idea is to add 1 part beans to 4 parts water and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.  Easy peasy!  And yummy too.
