The youth that were attending had their own schedule of workshops and activities. A few months ago, the president of the state PTA had invited me to do this workshop.

Sharing memories of the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest 2014

I have always loved to be in the kitchen creating recipes and cooking with the grandchildren.They know how I love to cook, bake, and enter cooking contests and I think that excitement has been passed on to them. They have been the inspiration for many of my contest recipes.
When they are small, we move a stool over to the kitchen counter or bring their small table into the kitchen. As they grow older, they have taken over the kitchen at times. They will even call me to tell me an idea they had for a recipe. See how much fun we have baking and cooking together!
