Making Resurrection Rolls

We made some happy memories today. The girls and grandsons and I made Resurrection Rolls. These rolls are also known as "Empty Tomb Rolls".  We had a lot of fun together making a delicious mess, and taking all kinds of silly crazy pictures: so be warned…. excessive grandchildren pictures will follow… what can I say; I just couldn't help myself.  Thanks for sharing our fun.

 Many blessings to you all as you celebrate the Passover and Resurrection Sunday.

Meatball Sandwich Muffins

I don't know about you, but I do love a Hot Meatball Sandwich.  On those rare occasion that we eat at a Sub shop, the Hot Meatball Sandwich is usually the one I order.  These muffins are inspired by my love for those Meatball Sandwiches. These are made with bread dough and stuffed with pre-made meatballs and chunks of Mozzarella cheese. Dip them in Marinara Sauce and they are Mm Mm good. For this recipe I did use pre made bread dough, like I did for the Reuben Muffins for convenience sake, but of course, you can use whatever kind of dough you would like.  Also, this recipe now a class offered on Skillshare , so if you are interested in the video, just click this link.
