parker house rolls {giveaway}
(This giveaway is closed.)
Rolls, rolls, rolls! And no, I’m not talking about what happens to my body when I eat too many rolls. Um, awkward.
I’m just saying it’s been a bit of a bread roll party around here, and if that’s OK with you, it’s OK with me. Because when the fluffiest and softest and cuddliest — er, most delicious of Parker House rolls are invited, it’s the best kind of roll party. Whatever that is. Right.
ANYWHO. Let’s talk about (dinner) rolls!
If you’ve never made a Parker House roll from scratch before, now is the time. And if you’ve never eaten a Parker House roll before, the situation is even more dire — because you must. You must try them. They are the epitome of dinner roll goodness. When you think of the perfect dinner roll — all warm and soft and fluffy on the inside with a slight crust and crunch on the outside — you are most definitely envisioning a Parker House roll. You just might not know it. And guess what? They’re the easiest things ever to bake right at home, too. So that’s a win-win-win right there (extra win for the eating part, obviously).
And in case you still need some coaxing into the kitchen, I’m sharing some handy tips and tricks for best-ever bread baking on the KitchenAid blog, The Kitchenthusiast, today along with the recipe for these pull-apart Parker House rolls, which are made with 1) flour and yeast (yes, yeast. Do not fear!), 2) a KitchenAid 11-Cup Food Processor, which kneads like a champ (who knew??) and 3) love. And I’m also giving away one of these things right here, right now!
If you guessed the food processor, you are correct. And OK, I’m giving away some love, too. In the form of a food processor.
Thanks to the generous peeps at KitchenAid, one lucky reader will win an 11-Cup Food Processor with ExactSlice System in Contour Silver. This slick countertop appliance has two work bowls, an adjustable slicer (so you can slice thick or thin, depending on your needs) and a 3-in-1 feed tube. I have one and I love it for anything from slicing potatoes for potato chips to making quick sauces to kneading dough. And if you win, I know you’ll love it, too.
To enter, leave a comment below answering the question: What are your Valentine’s Day plans?
And that’s it! Giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. CST Feb. 15 and is open to U.S. residents 18 years and older only. Good luck!
UPDATE: Molly is our winner. Thanks for playing, everyone!
P.S. Thank you so much for your sweet notes on my post earlier this week. I can’t even. I just. Love. All of you.
Disclosure: I received a KitchenAid food processor for recipe development purposes only. All opinions are my own.
I am cooking dinner at home for my husband!
nothing fancy…a friend & her husband just lost their home and 1 car to a fire last night. They both are safe. But it puts into perspective what is important in life. So, I plan to FaceTime with my son and family and share love!
Having dinner and some tv with friends
I can’t believe I’ve never made Parker House Rolls (although I have eaten them, so at least I’m not that bad!). They look like perfect little carby pillows. My Valentine’s Day plans will hopefully involve chocolate and wine!
I’m making dinner for my husband!
I will be filling valentine tins with homemade white fudge and delivering them to my caring neighbors.
Diner with friends
My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary this February, so I decided to take him sky diving on valentine’s day since it’s something he’s always wanted to do. I’m also going to make a nice picnic (including maybe these Parker House Rolls because they look DELICIOUS) for us to share after.
Hubs and I are finally going on our honeymoon…and our trip begins on Valentine’s Day! We’re so excited for some warm weather!
Can’t wait to make the Parkerhouse Rolls! My Valentine’s Day will be spent with my wonderful hubby! Hopefully with lots of good food, some wine and yummy dessert! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Dinner at home, I’m going to see if I can get my nerve up to try and make these rolls, they look so so good!
On February 13 my husband and I are attending a Masquerade Gala fundraiser for a local ministry he serves with. There will be music, dancing, food, silent auction and I get to wear a VERY fancy dress!!
No plans yet for V-Day. Spending time with my hubby and kids for sure. 🙂
we don’t have any plans–i think we’ll avoid the restaurants and i’ll just make us a special supper. 🙂
From February 13-15, restaurants and venues in metro Phoenix, Arizona are packed. Restaurants double up tables, so that you are practically sitting on the lap of the person next to you. So my husband and I always wait until a week later or a week before to have our special day. If we do have our date on Valentine’s Day, we stay at home and cook. We are both very good cooks…I do desserts and cakes and my husband makes a fantastic steak using my dad’s recipe. My dad had a restaurant and my mom was also a great cook. I learned from my mom and my husband, being the oldest of four and already knowing how to cook really well, learned how to do steaks from my dad. We have a “secret” marinade originally created by my dad and it makes the most delicious steak. We’ll have my mom’s Cheesy Potatoes…I always thought this was her recipe but later in years found out just about everyone has a version of this potato dish. We’ll use a recipe from Morton’s Steakhouse for another veggie dish…Brussels sprouts with carmelized onions and bacon…YUM! For dessert, I’ll probably make some type of “red” dish…red velvet cake, sugar cookies in the shape of a heart with red royal icing, or cheesecake ice cream with strawberries. To end this perfect dinner, we’ll have a nice cup of espresso with a candied lemon peel. Yep, the more I talk about this, I think we’ll just have our date at home!
Making dinner at home. Seafood chioppino!
These rolls look so good. Fluffy on the inside and with a little crust on the outside really is the perfect dinner roll.
I’m single so no big plans for the day but I’ll make a heart shaped cherry kringle to bring into work.
I’ll be cooking a beautiful dinner for my hubby of 27 years ??????
Ok I put two hearts on my post, not question marks. LOL
What are your Valentine’s Day plans? I have not idea. I usually do something uber-exciting like make a heart shaped meatloaf. 🙂
PS I’ve never made Parker House Rolls round – always the fold over shape.
Staying home and making dinner with my husband!
Dinner and a movie!
I just love that food processor but I should try kneading on it!! These look amazing as always dear!
Steak and Lobster with my sweetheart. Maybe some Parker House rolls…
I hope we’re going out to a German restaurant (we’re in Germany!) because, while I LOVE to cook, I love to eat too and try new things!
We have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old so not much : ( But we’ll be together so that’s all that matters to us!
I will be running a long run with the running loves of my life 🙂 on Valentine’s Day.
Having dinner at home!
cooking dinner at home!
(although I’d love to include these rolls but I don’t see the recipe???)
We are going out for a romantic dinner at our favorite napoleon pizza restaurant.
Probably will enjoy a quiet evening at home. I like to make a nice meal and have a pretty dessert for us. May watch a good movie, too!!
Lost my husband this year so will be spending Valentine’s Day with friends.
A quiet night at home… my boyfriend is cooking!!
I have never eaten one of these rolls that I know of.
Haven’t made any plans for VD. May go out to eat though.
Nothing at all–I am studying for my second bar exam, which is 10 days after valentine’s day, so I will not be having fun (unfortunately). This food processor would make me very happy 🙂
As usual I like your recipe, I think you should increase your recipe of “Brioche” like we love eat in France. We have so many recipes … I think you could find your happy.
Well, my plan for Valentine is : a fancy cake of chocolat and a humoristic show with my love !
I’m going to cook something nice for my boyfriend and take it way easy with him at home!
No big plans as of now. I’ll probably cook something special.
No plans for V Day. None for the last 41 married ones, so none for this one either.
Steak dinner at home!!
Staying in, planning a special day of love for my favorite people….hubs, 6 1/2 yr old daughter, and 22 mo old son. That may need to involve these fluffy rolls… They look like perfect little pillows of bread goodness!
We will be spending the evening at a bed and breakfast on the lake!
My husband and I will make a dinner at home for the 44 and 1/2 years of happiness we share.
A picnic at the beach, Lake Michigan is beautiful in the winter.

Cooking a special dinner for my love!

Celebrating birthdays with friends!
We have made no plans yet.
Going to the ballet!
On Valentine’s Day we’ll be flying home from California with two small kiddos, so we’re going to celebrate on Sunday. I’ve got Valentines for both kiddos and for my husband and will probably make something special for dinner… maybe stuffed french toast with strawberries. (I’d make it for breakfast, but after being gone for a week, our cupboards will be bare!)
My husband and I will spend Valentines Day in the kitchen – we just love preparing a meal together on this romantic day. The kids? They’ll be in bed early!!
Going to a German restaurant for Dinner!
I lost my hubby of 33 years so I have no plans for Valentine’s Day. I’ll be alone but not lonely because he left me with so many fond memories. I think I might try my hand at these rolls today. I love your recipes! Thank you.
I was literally JUST daydreaming about Parker House yesterday, a restaurant I love usually serves them before the meal, and yesterday, they were NOWHERE to be found, so this recipe comes at the perfect time. I absolutely need to try my hand at making them. Possibly as the carb for Valentine’s dinner??? I know between my husband and I, we could down the entire batch in one sitting.
Spending it with hubby…Taking a drive to do some antiquing and while out find a place for Valentines dinner!
Unfortunately I have to work on Valentine’s day, but I’ll be done in time for a nice dinner with the husband!
I have never heard of Parker House Rolls before and I regret not knowing them ’cause they look absolutely FAB!!!!! I just want to pick one and dunk into a rich gravy! <3 Oh yum! Pinning! <3
Not sure on specific plans yet, but anything with my hubby of almost 16 years will be wonderful! I just love spending time with him! 🙂
I’m going to make a romantic dinner of my favorite foods…for myself. Because I’m single, and all my favorite foods have copious amounts of garlic anyway.
Planning a romantic Dinner with the Perfect bottle of wine, at home!
We’ll be at a wedding on Valentine’s day. That’s almost like a date, right?? Haha.
My husband and I will probably stay in and cook together on Valentine’s Day. We try to avoid going out to dinner that day as restaurants are always packed, and we’ve found that the service usually isn’t as good as another random night. Now we just have to figure out what we want to make!
Enjoying some homemmade mac n’ cheese with my sweetie =)
My girlfriends are reuniting over the Valentine’s Day weekend! We are planning to get some Korean BBQ and potentially head to Indianapolis’ City Market for some crepes! I can’t wait.
I haven’t thought that far ahead! We are having such a mild and DRY winter on the West coast ~ I probably will fire up the Green Egg and grill! And bake some Parker House rolls!
We are planning on staying in and making dinner at home! These rolls will probably be on the menu 🙂
I am due any day now with my baby, so by Valentines Day I should still be at home, snuggling our newborn!
We’ll be spending Valentine’s Day attending high school basketball games – nothing says LOVE like a packed, sweaty gym, right?! I’ll probably make a Valentiney brunch before we head out.
We usually do something the week before because we don’t like the crowds. But on the day, we get take out and watch a movie. However, this year with it falling on Saturday, we will be going to church that evening. (Our church has a Saturday night service and 3 Sunday morning services.)
I am celebrating my 55th birthday, and my party is at a Greek restaurant…OPA!!!! Happy Birthday to me, I have the birthday of Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I plan on enjoying the day with my family and having a heart shaped pizza for dinner!
For Valentine’s Day – working on a house for Habitat for Humanity, then homemade pizza with hubby and kids. Maybe a family movie, or maybe just falling asleep on the couch!!
Hey! I’ve made a surprisingly large amount of your recipes so far-they are always a big hit!
For Valentine’s Day, we’ll be cooking together for a cozy night in!
No immediate plans yet.
My husband will be returning from a business trip late onValentine’s Day, so we will probably just stay in with the kids for a relaxing evening at home!
My hubby and I keep it low key but will be eating the most amazing sweet potato fries at Gurus!

Hubby & I are cooking dinner together here at the house!
Making dinner for my family…..
I love Parker House Rolls! These look just about perfect! 🙂
Since the hubs will be out of town, we’re celebrating a few days early with a nice homemade meal and some quality time (after the kid is in bed). Not crazy romantic, but it’s how our lives are right now.
I am soooooo pleased you got so many supportive feed back comments from the last post. It is a problem we all share. I don’t have small children anymore, but boy howdy I remember the days. I was self employed at the time. I still feel pulled in multiple directions, but it’s less critical and less of a feeling of drowning in STUFF at this time in my life.
Oops Valentine plans—-a movie out and undecided if dinner in or out. I have a couple of chart topper recipes I would like to prepare.
Hubby and I are going for a weekend getaway at a barn to celebrate our second anniversary! We chose the barn especially because they have a Finnish sauna!! Perfect for this type of weather! CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!
Spending Valentine’s Day at home with my wonderful husband of 32 years. I am thinking these rolls will be a great compliment to our special meal 🙂
I’m planning on giving something sweet to my husband and basking in his love….:)
No real plans, I don’t celebrate valentines day and instead take myself out once a month or so.
Those rolls look delicious. We don’t really have Valentine’s plans — probably stay home and watch a movie. My husband’s birthday is this weekend, so we usually do something bigger for it instead. This year, it’s a fancy dinner out and a small party at home.
My boyfriend is terrrrrrible at making reservations, so his gift to me this year was actually making one before all the restaurants booked up!
Oh, Parker House rolls. Is there anything better??? These look fantastic! I’ll be spending my Valentine’s visiting with dear friends from college. Food will be involved, obviously, and now I’m thinking these rolls need to be too!
Our supper club is getting together and cooking for each other!
Michele — Oh goodness, I’m so sorry to hear that but I am glad they are safe!
I’m having a fabulous Valentine’s day party for friends/family…beef tenderloin, risotto, veggie of choice, and my famous sugar cookies, where a sister or 2 will fight over the last one. just saying…
We’ll probably have dinner at home, since we can’t go anywhere fancy with our 5 month old baby!
These are the prettiest rolls ever! Soft and fluffy carbs are my weakness and these look perfect!
I will be making and delivering cookies too homeless in my area.
Candy and Netflix. The end.
I’m hoping to go out to get a nice dinner, but with 3 kiddos, you never know 😉
We will be in New Orleans for Valentine’s day! So looking forward to it.
Making pizza for my wonderful Valentine
I plan on relaxing and resting up for the half marathon I am running the next day!
Dinner with friends!!! xx
My valentine’s day plans are to have a disney movie marathon since my husband has to work that day.
My husband works all afternoon and evening on Valentine’s Day, so we’re celebrating on the 11th by going out for a full English tea service at a local tea shop. I’m so excited!! 🙂 I’ll probably make him a batch of peanut butter cookies to come home to on Saturday too.
Love making dinner rolls, homemade breads are unbeatable! and I’m looking forward to trying these out! As for Valentines Day, plans will be to have dinner prepared for when my man gets home from work and we’ll enjoy some down time!
My husband will be cooking something creative for supper, and I will be trying a new candy recipe for a little something sweet.
Eat chocolate and kiss
My husband will be returning from a week long business trip late Friday night, so I think I will cook him something special for Valentine’s dinner. I know he would rather stay home than go out after having been gone all week :).
Watching college basketball with my family!
Seeing as it’s also Mardi Gras (and our neighborhood here in STL hosts the largest Mardi Gras party outside New Orleans), we’ll be hitting up a parade in the morning and probably checking out the craziness that night. I’ll probably make us a special dinner on Sunday to celebrate instead!
We’re celebrating my wife’s birthday on Valentine’s Day! It’s one big party for us!
Planning to make spinach dip and steak with bleu cheese. Prepare some Pinot Noir and bake red velvet cupcakes.

For the first time in 10 years, I have a Valentine’s date ! I met my new man on an online dating site in October. He’s wonderful. Who knew he was out there! We’re going back to the little cafe we had our first meet and greet in Santa Rosa California.

eeeee omgosh these rolls are incredible! love how fluffy and delish they look!

Our plans for Valentine’s Day are that we don’t have any plans! It’s not really something we’ve ever celebrated. On the other hand, we do celebrate our anniversary, which seems more like a real thing. But because Valentine’s Day is on Saturday, I might start our weekend off with a better-than-usual breakfast, and I’ll do what I usually do and make us a nice dinner and a good dessert.
We are traveling to celebrate valentine’s day in Austin Texas. I’m looking forward to spending some vacation time in a great city. Thanks! Keep up the great work.

Please don’t judge me…but I’m not sure I’ve ever had a Parker House Roll *gasp* But cuddly carbs?? Count me in! For VDay we’re doing a little stay-cation with dinner and hotel, then sleeping in and going out for breakfast on the actual day. Less crowds that way 🙂
i’ll bake biscuits for my pet, spend the wholetime cuddling and playing with them
Going to dinner and a movie!
We will be attending a high school semi-state bowling tournament. How romantic.
I’m baking a cake with a heart inside of every slice and hopefully two out of our three kids will be at a parent’s night out event so it will be a date night dinner with just our tiniest one.
I’ll be spending Valentine’s Day first working at the hospital and then the hubs will be whisking me off on a surprise outing to where I’m not sure but I’m sure it will be fun!!!

Valentine’s Day – I will make a special dinner for hubby, cuddle by the fire, watch movies, eat some homemade goodies for a snack. Hopefully another day to see the sunrise and set. <3
My V-Day plans are pretty low-key. This is my first weekend at home in way too long so I’m going to finally clean the house and bake a treat or two. Oh and practice my sewing since I’m supposed to be making a t-shirt quilt for my best friend for a wedding gift.
Spending time with my husband.. it’s our first Valentines Day as a married couple!
Shopping and cooking
I’m out of town on business for the 14th. We do out best to live like it’s Valentines day every day.
I spent a day with lots of chocolate, sugar, more sugar, and almonds trying out my new candy thermometer. I’ve now packed the candy in fancy boxes and will be driving with my husband (of whom I am quite fond!) to see our daughter (the love of my life!) in one of our rare opportunities to get together now that she’s grown, independent, and spending her time studying and working all around the world. I’m excited about this Valentine’s Day–much better than a dozen roses.
My plans: wine, kettle corn and a movie! Low key!
We had a change of plans; instead of dropping the kids off at a charity fund raiser babysitting night and doing a dinner and movie, we are staying home with a sick little girl.
I’m going out for brunch with family.
I have no plans, my husband is out of town for the weekend on business so I will be alone with the box of chocolates 😉
