Double the roll recipe. Make 1 dozen rolls for tonight’s meal. With the remaining dough, form into bread sticks. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and shredded Parmesan cheese. When cool, store in a zip-lock bag to serve with the Baked Potato Bar. You can reheat the bread sticks, if desired, in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

DoveTailing Tips

When slicing red onions, chop and bag enough for Day 4 for the Baked Potato Bar. You can also chop some tomatoes for Day 3, too, if you don’t mind them in the fridge overnight. Personally, I like my tomatoes chopped fresh and not refrigerated. Your choice.

Cook a full pound of bacon. Use 4 slices for the hamburger and crumble the rest to save for the Baked Potato Bar on Day 4, and as a topping for the Baked Potato Soup on Day 5.
