** The kids and I are
traveling for the next few days, so here is the menu a bit shorter and earlier
than usual. Have a great weekend!
Sunday: Leftover BBQ Pork Sandwiches
·
This pork
was from Halloween night…perfect for a quick Sunday lunch or dinner! J
Monday: Chicken & Butternut Squash Bake with
Roasted Broccoli
·
I had
some boneless, skinless chicken thighs and some butternut squash, so I just
typed in those two ingredients in Google and found a recipe that looked
yummy! This recipe was the 2nd
one I read, and I decided it was easy enough and looked quite tasty. It did not disappoint on either account! It took about 5 minutes to put together (my
butternut squash was already peeled and cut from CostCo) and then I just stuck
it in the oven.
I was careful with the red pepper flakes
since this was for my kids also. The chicken
ended up tasting just like a rotisserie chicken, so my kids gobbled it right
up. The boys ate their veggies without
convincing, and Payton….well, she’s Payton.
;-) I definitely agree with Laura
that you need to use dark meat or bone-in chicken breasts for roasting chicken
this way. It will keep it from being dry
and powdery. This recipe will be one I
make again this fall!
Tuesday: Dinner with Mom J
Wednesday: Pizza Night (With Homemade Whole Wheat
Pizza Crust)
Whole Wheat Pizza
Crust
·
This is a
simple dough recipe that can be used for pizza or focaccia bread. It’s enough for 2 decent-size pizzas. The recipe says regular flour, but I
substituted whole wheat this time.
1 package dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Dissolve the yeast in the water. Mix together the flour and salt in a bowl,
make a well in the center and add the water and oil. Begin to stir with a fork, bringing the flour
in a little at a time until all flour is incorporated. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic. Place the dough in
an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm spot to rise.
When ready to make your pizza,
roll out dough on an oiled baking sheet (I used my fingers). Add whatever toppings you like and bake in a
500 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is brown around the edges and
the cheese is bubbly. Don’t place it too
close to the top of your oven. J
