yikes, has it really been that long?

OK, so it's been way too long since anyone posted... especially me. Yikes!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving feasts. I bet you made something delicious either as a long standing tradition or as something new. How about sharing? Cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing, etc. Come on, what about your grandmother's recipe for fill-in-the-blank?

I'll share my roll recipe. I had 4 nieces and nephews to entertain over Thanksgiving and we kept them busy in the kitchen. They had a lot of fun helping me make rolls. They took turns adding ingredients, stirring, kneading, rolling out the dough, and shaping the rolls.
