Happy Monday! I have two new book reviews for y’all. I don’t read many books outside of mystery/crime fiction BUT these two books were so good.

Mema’s Rolls
When I was younger, my grandma “Mema” made the most amazing yeast rolls. She was an amazing cook, and she taught many people how to make her yeast rolls.

I broke 100 followers!
Y’all! I am so excited about this. Getting people to follow my blog has been exponentially harder than Instagram or Twitter followers.
