Totally Worth It!!!

My youngest daughter, who now lives in North Carolina, is here visiting since her sister who recently had a baby and much to our surprise, we found out yesterday that the Pioneer Woman was going to be in Denver today signing books.  We had already planned to go shopping in the Denver area, so we went to the Tattered Cover Bookstore in LoDo.  The book signing was to be from 2-5 pm.  We arrived at about 1:30 pm and found that a ticket was required.  Much to our dismay, our tickets were Nos. 318 and 319.   The first 250 people were able to sit down in a room and wait until 2 pm when Ree Drummond would speak and answer questions for about 20 minutes before the official book signing.  We were a little disappointed when people who showed up an hour after we did were able to procure tickets in the 100's.  C'est la vie!!!  We patiently waited 4 hours and briefly spoke to the lovely Pioneer Woman!!!  And we have photos and autographed books to prove it!!

I looooove Chipotle's burrito bowls and decided to try to make them at home.  Luckily for me, my daughter has a cooking blog so I didn't have to search for a recipe.  Here is the link to


Here's a picture of my burrito bowl...

Lion House Rolls



I am always searching for delicious recipes.  Here is a recipe I recently found for very delicious, light dinner rolls.


Here are my rolls before I put them in the oven...
(I like the way you cut the dough in 2"x4" rectangles
and roll them up.)

Here they are after baking...


Delicious!!
