Cheesy Herb Dinner Rolls

Light and fluffy on the inside and buttery, cheesy and dressed in herbs on the outside best describes these delicious rolls that take about 3 hours from start to finish. You can even make them ahead and freeze them. Allow about 4 hours for them to raise before baking them. You can use any herbs you like, I used an Italian blend I like but feel free to mix your own. You need about a teaspoon of herbs.

Are you cooking for Easter? We had decided to go out but can’t find reservations anywhere so we’ve decided to do a cookout instead. We’re doing hamburgers. lol…. I have made a fantastic dessert that I will be sharing on Sunday, it is in the refrigerator now waiting for pictures to be taken. It’s a peanut butter pie taken to a whole new level. I sure wish my mom was here to try it, peanut butter pie was always one of her favorites. This one is full of brownies and peanut butter cups and you are going to want this recipe. I had a small taste test of the leftovers and it tasted amazing so be sure to check back tomorrow for the recipe.
