Ultimate Dinner Rolls

Tasty

 for 16 servings

• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup warm water
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• neutral oil, for greasing
• sea salt, for sprinkling

1. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
2. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
3. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it’s done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn’t rip, it’s ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
4. Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
7. Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
8. Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
10. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
12. Enjoy!

Egg Noodles

 Taste Better From Scratch

        Dbl       Single (serves 6), Dbl serves 12 ish

• ▢4          2 large eggs
• ▢2 t       3/4 teaspoon salt
• ▢4T        2 Tablespoons milk
• ▢3c        1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 
  

I doubled the recipe, so I could save some noodles for a future soup.

• 
  

• Mix eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth.  Stir in one cup of flour until smooth. Add additional flour, just a small spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball, but is still slightly sticky.
• Dump dough out onto a floured surface. Use well floured hands to knead the dough with your hands, until it's no longer sticky, about 3-5 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll out onto a lightly floured counter until it’s very thin — less than 1/4” thick or paper thin.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutting wheel to cut the noodles into long strips, however narrow or wide you like. I like to roughly gather them with my fingers into a pile to make them more shapely, and not so flat. You could even twist some with your fingers to make them prettier.
• To cook them immediately, add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender to the bite, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and serve in your favorite recipe requiring egg noodles like Easy Beef Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs.
• Or cook them in a pot of boiling soup, like my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup. Or, enjoy them plain with butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Creamy chicken noodle soup

 Natasha's Kitchen

• 6 cups chicken broth, w used low sodium
• 5 cups water
• Salt to taste
• 3-4 chicken thighs, skinless (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 medium carrots, 2 carrots grated, 1 carrot sliced into thin rings or half circles
• 2 medium celery stalks, finely chopped or thinly sliced if you prefer
• 2 cups pasta such as rotini, egg noodles, or your favorite kind or could make dumplings
• 1 cup corn, from 15 oz can, or preferably 1 cooked cob
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 Tbsp fresh or frozen dill
• 1 tsp Mrs. Dash, or your favorite salt-free seasoning

12/5/22 I served this soup with homemade egg noodles

instead of pasts make Dumplings

1. In a large soup pot, combine 6 cups broth, 5 cups water and 1/2 Tbsp salt. Bring to a boil then add chicken thighs (no need to trim fat), and boil uncovered 20 min. Skim off impurities that rise to the top. While chicken is cooking, proceed with step 2.
2. Place a large pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened (5 min), then increase heat to med/high and add grated carrots, chopped celery and sauté 5-7 min, stirring often until soft and golden then transfer to soup pot.
3. Remove chicken thighs from the pot and let rest until cool enough to handle, then use forks or hands to shred chicken, discarding any bones and fat (which should come off easily). Return shredded chicken to the pot (by the time it's cooled and shredded, this is usually after step 4).
4. Add 2 cups pasta, sliced carrots and corn to the soup pot and continue cooking 15 min at a low boil until pasta is at desired softness. You can skim off any excess oil from the top at this point if you want the soup to be a little lighter.
5. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt 4 Tbsp butter, whisk in 1/3 cup flour and cook whisking constantly for 1 to 2 min or until just barely turning golden. Ladle 1 cup of hot broth from the soup pot into flour mixture, whisking continually until well blended then whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream and transfer mixture to the soup pot, stirring until well blended.
6. Season soup with 1 tsp Mrs. Dash (or your favorite salt free seasoning) and more salt to taste if needed. Add 3 Tbsp dill then return to a boil and turn off the heat. Enjoy!

Ivars Clam chowder

 2 (6.5oz) minced clam cans
1 bag (16oz) of frozen Newport Steamer clams in the shell (not necessary, but I happen to have them)
1 c finely chopped onion
1 c finely diced celery
2 c finely diced potatoes
4 garlic cloves
3/4c butter
3/4c flour
4c half/half
1 t salt
1 dash pepper
1/2t sugar

In medium saucepan, drain the juice. Set the clams aside. Combine clam juice with the onions, potatoes, celery and potatoes. Add enough water in barely cover and simmer, covered over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 20 min.

In large saucepan, melt butter. Saute garlic for 3-4 min, add flour and stir. Slowly whish in the warm half and half. Cook and whisk till smooth and thick, about 5 min.

If you want a thinner chowder, add 1/2-3/4c water or clam broth. Add the veggies with the cooking liquid, clams, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well and adjust seasonings if necessary

Dayna said, "Ive tried the bacon type of clam chowder, it ends up tasting like loaded baked potato soup. The Ivars recipe is a washington state tradition and most everyone up there in the pacific northwest is accustomed to the clam chowder, so other soups that include bacon taste like good soup but not clam chowder. Once you add bacon to anything, it all becomes bacon. This recipe sticks to the clam base (sauteing the veggies in clam juice)."

10/26/22 RIDICULOUSLY amazing! Definitely a must do soup again.

I added the steamer clams to the recipe (it wasn't from the original recipe), I followed the directions on the package, put the whole bag in boiling water and wait for 4 min to have the clams pop open. Then take them off the stove and open the bag and pull out the  clams in the shell and put the clams in the big soup pot and stir.

A Valentine’s Mail Station

We started this tradition a few years ago as my oldest son was learning to read and write and now my kids can’t wait for us to set it out each year. This tradition actually starts at the beginning of the month, but once it’s set up I don’t mess with again.

It’s just a simple invitation on a table in our dining room for everyone to make Valentine’s for each other. I never force it and just leave the materials available but I’m always blown away by how much my kids enjoy this even now, as they’re getting older. I’ve got a whole post on how to set up your own Valentine’s Mail Station with tips on sneaking in a little literacy practice as you go.

https://www.simplystacie.net/valentines-day-party-games/

3. Pin the lips on the picture

A variation of ‘pin the tail on the donkey’, this one involves a drawn out poster of a face without lips. Then have some cut outs of lips with tape on the back of each one. Blindfold each person, spin them around and watch them as they try and put the lips where they belong! Everyone watching will have a great time too!

https://sofestive.com/2020/01/03/valentines-day-traditions-kids/

3. TOP SECRET VALENTINE TRADITION

Having a Top Secret Valentine is so fun with kids! A week before Valentine's Day, write all your family member's name one of these Top Secret Valentine's assignments.  Each person will get an envelope with their mission on it.  

The goal is to do as many nice things for your "Secret Valentine" as possible before Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day, everyone reveals who they had. 

Secret Valentines Ideas:

• Make their bed

• Hang up their backpack

• Put shoes away

• Do their job 

• Scrape the snow off windows

• Leave a note

•  

• 4. Marshmallow Mayhem? All you have to do is sit at opposite ends of the sofa and toss mini-marshmallows into each other’s mouths. Points for each direct hit or how many are in their mouth

•  

• I like you Berry much
