World’s Best Dinner Rolls. Today’s post is actually a re-post of one of our very, very first recipes–like one of the recipes we had up on the blog before we even launched it!

World’s Best Dinner Rolls

It is one of my most beloved recipes and an all-time favorite of my friends and family-members. I’ve always known that the dough was a little temperamental and that some people have had trouble with it, but it wasn’t until I talked to Sara a few weeks ago and she told me that she has never successfully made these when I realized I needed to do something about it. I’m totally not sharing this to knock Sara in any way–heck, I have never been able to successfully make her famous Creamy Chicken Taquitos, so go ahead, judge me now.

I’m saying this because if you’ve tried these rolls in the past and haven’t had a lot of success, be happy to know that a) you’re in good company, and b) I’ve tweaked the recipe, the yeast procedure in particular, in a way that I believe makes the dough more user-friendly and less moody.

My friend Donna Natale Mason…what can I say other than that Texas is not nearly as colorful without her?

Baked Mashed Potatoes with a Creamy Gruyere Topping

She is a vibrant, loud, gorgeous bit of Texas stomping through the snow in Indiana in red cowboy boots. We were debutantes together in Wichita Falls and she keeps threatening to come back to Texas and have a get together where we all wear our (very small sized yet shockingly poufy) deb dresses and eat lots of food and tell raunchy jokes. In the meantime she has given me a very decadent, yet simple recipe that is dear to her heart. You know I have a soft spot for recipes that are truly an embodiment of love. This recipe not only yields a baked mashed potato dish that will make you tear up with delight, but the story behind it will make you a little weepy, as well. This is part of the note that Donna sent to me: “My sweet Momma made these for me when I was pregnant with my daughter, Molly in 2005. Hence, I call these Donna’s Good Luck Potatoes. Notes: In closing: Thank you, Donna. *Simply Scratch*: Parmesan Garlic Bread:

Last week was a busy week filled with a field trip to the zoo sandwiched by 3 twelve hour shifts.

*Simply Scratch*: Parmesan Garlic Bread:

By Friday I was extremely happy for the weekend to arrive. Although Pat worked late, we still barbecued dinner and relaxed with a few adult beverages after tucking in our girls. Tonight he made a special request… for garlic bread. This garlic bread beats the store bought kind by a mile. It super easy to whip up and only takes a few minutes under the broiler. Here are the ingredients you will need. Start by pressing the three cloves of garlic into a medium bowl. Mince up a shallot so it measures one tablespoon. Add the shallot to the garlic in the medium bowl.

Next, mince up the fresh parsley and measure out a tablespoon. Add that to the bowl along with the salt and pepper. Now add the *gasp* two sticks of butter and the two tablespoons {give or take} of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Sick of the Same Old Salads? 17 New Ways to Enjoy Leafy Greens - KitchenDaily.
