Get the Whole Family InvolvedThanksgiving is hard to enjoy when you are doing all of the work. Even the littlest members of the family can help so don't take all the work on yourself. Make sure you get the family involved in the preparations, table setting, chopping of vegetables, cleaning and all of the things that you need done for a great celebration. It will make it more enjoyable for everyone if you are not stressed out when it comes time to eat.

Whole Wheat Rolls?I saw a recipe in a food magazine just recently for whole wheat rolls. you could freeze them and I thought I was going to make them but I lost the recipe. As I recall, you made the mix and made 3 little balls per roll and baked them in muffin tins and they turned out really classy. You could serve them or freeze them and reheat them again. I was wondering if anyone had the recipe.
