Utah State Fair 2009


I never knew my love for chocolate would one day bring me a blue ribbon. I'm glad the judges liked it as much as I do.
I'd like to thank my garden for producing such wonderful zucchini that gives this bread it's moisture and flavor. And Dave for encouraging me to make it all the time- I almost have the recipe memorized!
At least these Dollys got a ribbon! Maybe I should have added some secret zucchini...

Way to go Amber! This was no surprise- about 11 years ago, Amber joined the family and quickly had the sweetroll recipe perfected before any of the rest of us. My Grandma Jo should be proud- almost all these ribbon winners are her recipes. Any baking ability I may have I owe to her and my mom, for many years spent in the kitchen together :)

my mouth is watering for a sweet roll and a hello dolly right now. the picture of amber's sweet rolls look like it should be on the cover of The Lion House Recipe Book. (I think it's the completely white background)

I'm not one bit surprised you got the blue ribbon.. good job.

Lorilee said...
