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

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