I don't typically cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal. This year it was Pepper 'Steak', Macaroni and Cheese, Yellow Cupcake with Hot Chocolate Icing. Some reason this year I really wanted my Grandmother's Yeast Roll. She used to make the best rolls, flavorful, moist and buttery. mmm, I can still taste them. And the smell, OMG… Continue reading Yeast Rolls – Thanksgiving Flop
