Week 5

Happy Friday! Okay, this week it's very obvious, so I'm just going to address it. Yes, I send my husband off to work in a hospital with pink, tea-cup shaped silicone muffin baking cups.

“Just One More” Sweet Rolls

These sweet rolls are spectacular. They make an appearance at every family function, usually made with love by my Nana, her significant contribution to every feast.
