Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - SDRecipeGirl - 06-23-2007 He did it again! A blue ribbon for the San Diego County Fair Kid's Best Breads & Rolls. He didn't get the grand prize, but he got a first place for his Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread (from Cooking Light). This time he was really insistent on doing absolutely everything himself. He said to me several times: "MOM! I can do it myself!!" The most fun part is that he really seems to love to cook I won second place in the cheesecake contest with Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake. Fun stuff. Got a ribbon and everything Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - cjs - 06-23-2007 Hey there, congratulations to you both!!! (I don't know why I never got into competition..thot about it and never did it...) Good for you guys!! chocolate/banana bread, chocolate/pumpkin bread - love 'em!! Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - Mare749 - 06-23-2007 That is so wonderful! Congratulations to both of you! It looks like your son gets his talent from his mom. Your cheesecake looks fantastic, and so does his marbled banana bread! Maryann Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - esgunn - 06-23-2007 Wow, both look great! Congratulations to your boy! Hey, can I have the recipe for the chocolate banana bread? I have a slew of over ripe bananas right now that I need to do something with! Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - TwilightKitten - 06-23-2007 Holy cow, that's wonderful! I thought my 14-year-old son making a hollandaise was brag-worthy, but it's no blue ribbon. Wow, I am impressed...please congratulate him for me. Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - pjcooks - 06-23-2007 Congratulations to both of you! Isn't it great to know you've passed on not just a passion for cooking but a skill that will serve him for life! Pics are great, by the way PJ Re: Kiddo Wins Blue Ribbon (again!!) - Half_Baked - 06-23-2007 Wow, how wonderful! Both of you are *Superstars*! Congratulations.
