Brrrrr...it is cold outside and temperatures are continuing to drop!
Please join me for a cup of Twinings Christmas tea, and we can chat by my fire.
This favorite teacup from a dear friend is such a favorite and looks perfect on my quilted topper.
My old Santa always makes an appearance and I think of my daughter who gifted it to me, and I gave her the same one!
Mary from Home Is Where The Boat Is told us about these sculpted butters, and I bought a turkey one for Thanksgiving and this tree for Christmas.
I have been making these rolls for probably 50 years and my family loves them. You can make the dough and keep it in the fridge for a week, or you can go ahead, let the dough rise, and then shape the rolls, let them rise, and bake.
My daughter had us over for an after-Thanksgiving feast. She made the most gorgeous charcuterie spread in the upper photos. The middle photo is Molly, Tim, me, Mike and Julie. Bottom is all my grandchildren, a boyfriend of Avery, a girlfriend of Caiden, and a girlfriend of Connor. Riley surprised us by driving 10 hours from his Army base.
Tim and Mike watched the Ohio State - Michigan game and we dressed in our Buckeye shirts. Yea, my Alma Mater won! Bottom photo is of Mike, Kevin, Kristen, Harper and Hayden who had been vacationing in Maui and had asked to do a mini Thanksgiving together when they came home.
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
Those rolls look delicious! It sounds like you had a lovely time with family.
ReplyDeleteLook at this! I am the first to comment!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make these rolls. They look so good. They look great sitting on your quilt tablecloth by the fire with your Christmas tea cup. I may need to get a butter tree. How fun is that.
I always enjoy seeing your big family! It feels my heart with joy to see them surround you with love.
Merry December, Kitty!
Well, I guess I was second to comment. Lol!
DeleteGood morning Kitty, Your table is so merry and bright with your Santa, quilted topper and pretty teacup! I’m going to look for the tree shaped butter when I’m shopping this week. My sister picked up our turkey butter for Thanksgiving in Atlanta this year. 😊 Molly’s charcuterie looks amazing and what a fun surprise to have Caiden join you for Thanksgiving! I would love to try your roll recipe…one that stands the test of time. Wishing you a merry December week, stay warm! 🎄❤️
ReplyDeleteOh I love this awesome recipe! Not having to bake all the rolls at once is ideal! All your Christmas decorations are lovely. And I am WILD about the butter sculptures! Where did you get them? Such beautiful times with family. That Molly sure is talented like her mama! Thanks much for sharing. Stay safe & warm! XO
ReplyDeleteKitty, the rolls looks so good and the butter is adorable! Thanks for the recipe for the rolls. It looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love the charcuterie board your daughter made. I hope you have a nice week Kitty.
ReplyDeleteI love that butter, I will have to look for it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all the photos and smiles.

These rolls seem so simple even I may be able to make them!! Love, love love the pictures of the family!! Looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving was had by all.
ReplyDeleteWe always buy our rolls and my sister in law makes the best rolls - but we never get together with them for the holidays, always after. So I've only had her rolls a few times years ago before Vivi was born. I SO want to try this recipe - or perhaps Michael will since he's our bread maker. They are SO perfect. TY!!! And wasn't that game incredible? Whoot! Now to beat Indiana...................love your family photos and your sweet tea table and that charcuterie board could be in a magazine, she did a wonderful job, wow. ♥
ReplyDeleteI forgot to cheer along with you! Our Buckeyes won! ❤️
ReplyDeleteAfter Thanksgiving feasts are even better!! What fun...and what yummy looking rolls. Off to save them for a rainy day bake off!! Happy December!!
ReplyDeleteThose rolls look really delicious. Love the butter molds at Christmas. Love the tree and I just saw a star butter mold at the grocery store. They are so fun to have on the table. Have a great rest of the week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely Thanksgiving Kitty. Your Santa and pretty teacup are so pretty for your Christmas enjoyment. Homemade rolls sounds so delicious. They look like pillows and must melt in your mouth. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Wishing you a joyous Christmas holiday.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a homemade roll and yours look sooo good! I'm going to copy this one as I love that you can make the dough ahead and keep it in the frig for a while. We have several good friends who went to Ohio State and they were celebrating too! Congratulations! Poor University of Wisconsin did not do very well this year. Fingers crossed for next year! What happy family photos! ♥
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I am late, Kitty! I love the quilted topper and Santa. The charcuterie board looks delicious. Kitty, I will save your roll recipe. Is there anything better than home-made yeast rolls? I always enjoy your family photos! Everyone looks so happy! Wishing you a joyous Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteLovely family photographs.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your December days.
All the best Jan
Adorable post as ever... Beautiful teacup! Blessings. Happy Advent.
ReplyDeleteI have to chuckle at 60 yrs I grew up with Kellers butter in my back yard lots of molded butter over the years. Many great memories
ReplyDeleteLove the happy family photos! I just realized I missed this post, and I'm glad you shared your recipe for homemade rolls. I'm going to make these for my gals get together, and a dinner party in January.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful family, sweet friend. It sounds like you enjoyed Thanksgiving multiple times, and what a blessing to have all of them to celebrate it with! God bless all of you!
