How to Make Magical Popover Rolls

Growing up bread fell into four categories: store bought white loaves school cafeteria yeast rolls monkey bread popover rolls I’m sure there were exceptions, but these were the four essential bread groups of my youth.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
