I am incredibly lucky to have a very special aunt in my life. My Aunt Judie has always been like a second mother to me and after my Mom passed away five years ago, that role has become increasingly important to me. She never fails to make me laugh and is always there to help me out. Last week she came to my house to CLEAN.MY.BLINDS. Yes.  That is dedication…and LOVE my friends! I’m much more of a big picture person {meaning blinds are not really high up on my to-do list…} and she is very, VERY detail-oriented. Love that about her!

She tackled the windows in my new Mom Cave with gusto, cleaning each individual slat, removing screens, and washing the windows inside and out. They now SPARKLE! And, even more awesome, we were able to spend the whole day together chatting and visiting. It was great! She stayed for dinner and my Dad came over after work. I made Chicken Cordon Bleu at my Dad’s request and thought I’d whip up some rolls while I was it.

I got out my recipe and started to pull out ingredients only to find that I was completely out of all-purpose flour! I seriously do not even know how that happened – I mean, I usually have two or three extra 5-lb bags lying around. I was stunned for a few minutes and then realized I had whole wheat flour on hand and so I came up with a new recipe and it was just FABULOUS! The smell of these rolls baking was pure heaven! My Aunt took a little break to come over and sample a fresh roll before dinner and so did the boys. Two thumbs up from everyone! I had to stop the boys from snacking on the rolls so we’d have enough for dinner 🙂

There is just something about wheat rolls that is just so satisfying. There is just more texture and substance and FLAVOR. Reece inhaled three rolls at dinner. He would split his roll in half and then smear on a good tablespoon of butter. He was in heaven! Bryce of course followed suit and I sat and watched them amazed at how oblivious they were to all those calories…. Ahh to be four again!

    I was just wondering and maybe I”m not reading this right but what do you do with the small bowl with the yeast?

    Trish, can I borrow Aunt Judy? We don’t even want to talk about doing windows around here, lol. I know what you mean about having back up flour. I’m always amazed that I ever run out when it seems I buy a new sack every time I go to the store. These rolls sound fabulous and a great change up to “white” rolls. I’m featuring these at this week’s Thursday’s Treasures!

    These sound so delicious! I can’t wait to try them! I have a homemade bread in a bag recipe (you can see it as blissfulroots.blogspot.com) that I might try adding the the seasoning to have seasoned bread. We’ll see if it works. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a great day!
