Thanksgiving Ideas: Rolls and Desserts

Choosing the turkey and sides is pretty easy for us, it’s the bread and desserts that leave us feeling like we can’t decide. As a child bread was always my favorite side dish at Thanksgiving, and putting some fresh hot rolls into a basket brings back fond memories of our family gathered around several tables on Thanksgiving Day.

Then of course, there’s the desserts…
