Welcome back to Tasty Thursday!!
We rarely eat out as a family - so when we went school shopping for my oldest (he just started Kindergarten!), I thought it would be great to treat the family to some Texas Roadhouse. The kids have never been because of my oldest's suspected peanut allergy. Of course, now we know he isn't allergic to peanuts and we were happy to bring them. I think the Roadhouse is the only good restaurant up here where we live - and it's pretty awesome that they have steak on the kids' menu. Matthew LOVED that. We came home wanting more rolls. I knew I had a copycat somewhere...so a week later, I made this recipe. It is dead on - the butter is awesome too! I actually froze half the dough to make more rolls later :)
