Weekly what should I make 4 dinner list
"Ham"min it up!!
I love having a nice meal on Sundays. I usually plan something that I can put in my crock pot for a good part of the day. The house smells so good. When dinner time comes around it is ready to eat. I love cooking ham. It makes for a wonderful dinner and then makes great leftovers for other meals the rest of the week. This week you will see what I do with the left over ham. Unfortunately my potatoes went bad that I had in my cupboard so I pulled out some of my potato pearls from our food storage, cooked some corn on the cob and opened a can of olives. Such a wonderful meal with not too much work.
Chicago Style Hotdogs
My husband taught me this recipe. I am not sure if he ate a chicago dog at a restaurant somewhere or if he tried it while he was in Chicago for business a few years back. All I know is that my family really enjoys them. My 3 year old can't quite fit her little mouth over the whole thing yet but she loves eatting everything out of the bun. Add some chips, fruit and veggie for a quick and yummy meal.Needed Ingredients:
- Hotdog (Turkey or Beef)
- Hot dog bun
- Tomatoes
- Onion
- Cheddar Cheese (grated)
Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
This is an awesome meal that is a hit at my house and I love it because it is very easy and quick to make. Great for those nights you don't want to cook all night but don't feel like going out either.
Lay the different ingredents in a 9x13 dish in this order...
Second... lay 6-8 slices of ham over the chicken
Third... cover with 8 slices swiss cheese
Fourth... pour 2 cans cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 milk on top.
Fifth... 1 bag of croutons, mashed and sprinkled on top.
Cook uncovered at 350 for 1 hour
Easy Cheesy, Fresh and Squeezy!
Chicken avacodo sandwich
Wow this is a good one. My sister in law Melanie made this for me at a Sister's Reunion this past July. They were so good. After I finished mine I was wishing I hadn't.
Sourdough bread. Butter one side and sprinkle fresh parmasan cheese. Put the buttered and cheese side down on the grill or pan. On that slice of cooking bread lay a slice of mozzarella cheese, turkey, and avocado. Top it off with buttered sourdough bread and cheese on top.

Honey-whole wheat bread (Low fat)
This is one of my favorite recipes. I use it for everything my pizza dough, hell burger buns, bread and rolls. It is the best.Prep: 35 minRise: 1 hour. 5o minBake: 45 minmakes: 2 loaves (16 slices each)3 c. Whole wheat flour1/3 c. honey1/4 c. shortening or butter1 T. Salt2 Pkgs. yeast (2 T)2 1/4 c. very warm water (Think hot tub)3 to 4 c. whole wheat flour (remember add slowly until dough comes off sides of mixer or becomes the right consistancy. Sticky but workable.Combine in microwave safe bowl. Honey, shortening, salt, warm water (I cook for 1 minute at a time. Remember you want to think hot tub). Not too hot and not luke warm. If it is too hot I place a metle spoon in the bowl and that helps it to cool faster.Combine heated ingredients with 2 c. of flour and yeast. Mix for 3 seconds and look to see if the yeast is alive (bubbling). If it is continue adding flour slowly until right consistancy.Oven: 375Bake: 40-45 (if making loaves of bread) After your bread is done cooking pull out of your bread pans onto a cooking rack or towell and rub butter on top to make the crust really yummy.12-15 min (if rolls)

Sticky Buns
My husband makes fun of these pictures. I'm not even going to tell you what he calls them. All I need to say in my defense is that this was my first attempt at making sticky buns and that he couldn't stop eating the finished product. Hopefully the next time I attempt making this for my family my presentation will be more appetizing. You can make any bread recipe or even buy the Rhodes frozen dough in the freezer section of your favorite grocery store for this recipe. This is so yummy.
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Step One
Dip dough in melted butter
Step Two
Dip buttery dough in cinnamon & sugar
Step Three (Drizzle over top)
melt 2 tsp. butter
2 tsp corn syrup
Place in a bunt pan or whatever you have. You can't mess this up.
Oven Temp: 350
Cooking Time: 20 to 30 min
