You guys. Â I have a confession. Â Yeast scares me. Â Phew. Â I feel so much better now that that’s out there. Â I’ve tried lots of recipes that just don’t turn out. Â I can make cookies until the cows come home. Â But put that one little word in there and I avoid it. Â But I saw a recipe from an old church cookbook called Cake Mix Dinner Rolls. Â I was intrigued enough to try it out.
I made these rolls to go with this amazing Slow Cooker Tortellini Soup. Â It was the perfect thing to pair with the soup to kind of scoop in the yummy juices from the soup. Â Mmmmm…..

I think I’ll try out some other versions of this one – maybe add some rosemary and garlic. Â Oh that would be so good!
So what about you? Â Anything you’re afraid of to try in the kitchen?
