They grow up way too fast. 2015 was the first year without the kids at New Holland in 8 years.



Reserve Grand at Dover Speedway, 2006 - look how small!!

Rachel is 19 years old.  Wow, where did that time go??! She has been cooking since she could stand on a chair at the stove. A very motivated competitor, she is very focused and expects a lot of herself. She competed annually at New Holland Summerfest and Roc City Ribfest, with many awards to show. Rachel and Sara combined have more competition awards than many adult teams on the circuit!!

Now a junior at the University of Pittsburgh, she still has the competitive spirit, just no extra time. It was fun doing the Jamestown comp with her in 2017. Maybe that will become our tradition!

Cinnamon rolls made with puff pastry, New Holland Summerfest, 2012. Oh yeah, they were made on by the girl on the grill!!

Pitt Bound!!
