Check Out My Buns

I'm on a roll (hahahaha) with the butt jokes, aren't I?

While I was in Michigan, my mom made some freaking fantastic homemade hamburger buns. Really good stuff. And she was nice enough to share the recipe with me. I made pizza crust from scratch last week and it was a big fat fail (not that it was bad, it just wasn't super wonderful). So I was hesitant to try the buns yesterday. I was nervous the whole time, from adding the ingredients extra-carefully to letting them rise to oven time.

And guess what?

 They turned out fabulously well. Oh.My.Nom.

 And we could hardly wait to cut them and put our turkey burgers together. I sauteed the cauliflower and broccoli with some chopped green onions, EVOO, and seasonings. A seriously divine meal. This is what heaven tastes like.

Anyone else trying fun stuff in the kitchen? Exciting weekend plans?

p.s. An added bonus: Making these is much cheaper than buns from the store.
