Blue-Ribbon Herb Rolls

Rolls are one of my many weaknesses.  Especially warm right from the oven. 

These rolls are no exception.  They are packed with delicious hebs that are just perfect.

So, if you're not afraid to heat your kitchen up this summer...give these a go.  They may even be worth the heat!
