Week 418 Menu


#LIGHTtheWORLD is becoming one of my favorite things about December.  
Hi everyone!  Wow, my menu postings are kind of far and few between these days.  I really did make dinner the last month.  We hosted my brother-in-laws family for Thanksgiving and my sister-in-law and I whipped up a tasty feast.  

I think my favorite part of Thanksgiving was that I turned the roll making over to my 13 year old daughter.  She's been making our favorite whole wheat bread for two and a half years now.  She whips out 10 - 15 loaves every Saturday for our friends that are hooked on her bread too.  I handed her the Cloud Light Crescent Roll recipe that we love and she and her cousin made them perfectly!  

Last week I planned my menu and stuck to it every day.  I just didn't get around to posting it here.  ;)  I'm always amazed at how much smoother my week goes if I realistically meal plan.  There's definitely a difference between planning meals and planning realistic meals.  Sometimes I forget that.  

Anyway...here we go:

Monday:  Greek marinated grilled chicken in warm rosemary flatbread, with tzatziki sauce and grilled veggies

Tuesday:  crunchy tacos

Wednesday: southwestern cobb salad

Thursday:  potato bar

Friday:  leftovers

Saturday:  easy night

Sunday:  bistro chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, big green salad

All righty...that's what's on my menu.  What about you?  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
