Blogs are made for bragging...

Growing up there was a lady down the street from me (family you will know her, Lynette) who made the best rolls and baked goods. Everytime I was at her house they had the most delicious things to eat. I decided then and there that I wanted to grow up to become like Lynette, well no one told me how difficult it would be to bake bread. After five long years of countless failed attempts I believe last night I made my first official baking success. I used the Lion House Roll recipe that can be found on my sister's blog, www.myfoodstoragedeals.blogspot.com, and with the extra tips from my Aunt Kath I believe I have acheived my goal. Now I might not be able to duplicate them but at least I'll know that once in my life I made a stinkin' good roll! This really is the best recipe they are soft and most and really dense - they aren't airy like most homemade bread. I also got ambitious and made homemade pigs in a blanket - oh my word I was in heaven! I used the really yummy Nathan's hot dogs (pure beef) and I felt like I took a trip back to childhood - really they were so good! Don't worry Riley and I didn't eat all six ourselves we made double for lunch today! If you think this sounds like a healthy meal I'll just tell you that we ended the night with homemade cinnamon rolls - can you tell we are on a diet?

Thanks for letting me brag and share in my joy - I can now die in peace knowing that I acheived my goal!
