Another successful recipe provided by my Tia Sandra: Dinner Rolls.

The first time I tried these dinner rolls was about a year ago.  My Tia Sandra lives in Nevada so we don't have the pleasure of having these delicious dinner rolls whenever she makes them (which is quite often).  When I did get to taste these dinner rolls for the first time however, I was at another one of my Tia's house who had just come back from visiting Tia Sandra and she offered me one.  After the first bite I practically inhaled the whole roll in a matter of seconds.  I finally got the courage to try and make them.  How'd they turn out?  Well......after the fourth attempt to duplicate the wonderful fluffiness and taste of these delicious rolls, we finished about 1/2 the batch in one day :)

I don't know very many people who enjoy cooking with kids as much as I do.  I come from a pretty strong background in Early Childhood Education so being able to bring these two elements into my kitchen with my daughter has been a priceless experience.  This time around I got the chance to bring my niece and nephew into our little cooking rendezvous and we had a blast!  It was their meal from start to finish.  We went to the store and I let them pick out their own ingredients.  We even used the child sized shopping carts that Mi Pueblo Supermarket has.  I have to admit I was pretty surprised at what they put into their shopping cart.  We got home, made the dough from scratch, let it rise, rolled it out, and they made their own pizzas as they pleased.  They were in complete control of their pizzas which I must say turned out to be delicious.
