Next Chicks Night

Our next chicks night will be January 6th. We decided we will have it the first Tuesday of every other month. January's focus will be comfort foods. Last I heard, Michelle's mom will be doing a LIVE demo - pull-apart bread. That sounds comforting to me. Check back for specific time and place for the cookin' night. Can't wait!

Tip....

to reheat dinner rolls.
Place rolls on some foil and very lightly spritz with water (like with a spray bottle), sprinkle with a little salt if desired. Cover with foil and place in oven at 300 for about 15 min.
Rolls taste like they were just baked!
