Dinner Rolls! Fluffy pale golden globes, crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Little nutritional value. Loaded with butter (or veggie spread), companions to excessive amounts of food.

So why do we eat dinner rolls? Because they're delicious, of course! And they make holiday meals special. Plus, they're easy and fun to make!
