Simple pieces of your childhood resonate through the back-porch of our minds just waiting to be brought to the forefront to mold\u2026..well\u2026..you,” Chef Daven Wardynski, Executive Chef at Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort<\/a> recalled. \n\n“One such memory will forever live with me and my family. My mom’s side of the family (Frent) has a rich history of playfulness at the holiday dinner table. We are rooted with hard work that is often offset with jovial (and mischievous) points of family as the release. Our dinner rolls (recipe attached) serve more than just the guests at the table, but also the foundation for time past. They are simple, but the memory is not.”\n\nFor more holiday recipes, check out Perfecting Pie<\/a>, the Omni Cookie Collection<\/a> and 12 Holiday Cocktails<\/a>.\n\n\"grandpa-frent-soft-rolls-recipe-pin\"\n\n
