Week 424 Menu: Back at it!


Hi all!  It's been months since I've posted a menu.  Life just got busy, I guess.  We still ate dinner and I kind of planned menus, but no blogging happened.  We are starting our second full week of summer break and I'm ready to get organized.

Last week was full of camping, mosquito bites, helping at cup scout day camp, a hospital visit to get stitches, etc.  My kids are excited to have a full week at home and actually get to hang out with their friends and go swimming too.

My garden is starting to spit out baby zucchini.  I'm so excited...the green beans, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes are getting close too.  We've been munching on snap peas and raspberries for a while...but I'm anxious for more garden veggies.

It's menu planning time...

Monday:  chicken pot pie, fruit, hot chocolate cookies  (taking dinner to a friend)

Tuesday:  grilled 7 up chicken, BLT pasta salad, corn on the cob

Wednesday:  lasagna, one hour breadsticks, green salad

Thursday:  tacos

Friday:  grilled teriyaki cedar planked salmon, veggies, rice/quinoa

Saturday:  easy night

Sunday:  honey lime enchiladas (feeding the missionaries), mexican rice, beans, homemade salsa, warm cookies

What about YOU?  What are you making for dinner this week?  Or are you on vacation?  Or just grabbing whatever sounds good at the last minute?  I love to hear what dinner looks like at your house.  My family will tell you that more often than not I haven't made dinner and we have quesadillas or oatmeal.  

I started a new hashtag #jennymakesdinner.  When I do make dinner, sometimes I snap a picture of it and tag it.  It's fun to see that I make the same things over and over and over.  :)

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. ...
