I won first prize at the company picnic Bake-Off. My Strawberry Rhubarb Pie took names, people. I ran out of pie after 30 minutes and there were still at least 15 desserts on the table. There was a cheesecake, lemon meringue, pumpkin cookies, and so many other delicious items. Aside from the fabulous prizes above, I also won a gift certificate to Starbucks and a chip & dip set (very exciting)
