Ultimate Recipe Roundup Winners, Round Seven

Seven rhymes with "heaven" and no adjective could be more descriptive of the 14 recipes that competed at Dick's Market in Bountiful last Saturday.



The 14 contestants made a variety of dishes from homemade cakes, bundts and trifles, to savory salsas, meats and sandwiches. Our winning recipes each featured more than 20 Utah's Own products!

The winning recipe, a fresh carrot cake with honey-peach pie frozen yogurt, was prepared by Josh Talley. His recipe defined "homemade" with his own fresh, cream-cheese frosting, caramel sauce, and vanilla sauce. Josh had to start preparing his recipe the Wednesday before, in order for it to be ready! Overall, Josh used 29 Utah's Own products, including his serving plate (from Club Mud).

Our second place winner, Virgina Bobzin, combined the sweet flavors of chocolate, strawberry and toffee to create a heavenly trifle. The recipe was made with Meadow Gold and Winder Dairy products, as well as Cumming Studio Toffee and white chocolate.

Our third place winner, Lindsey Smith, charmed the judges with her Beehive Bundt. Not only was it full of Utah's Own products, but it also represented Utah's history.

This paragraph was included in her recipe:

"When the Mormon pioneers first came to Utah, they named the area The State of Deseret. Deseret means 'honey bee.' The settlers arrived in Utah with bees and valued traits of the honeybee, such as self-reliance, industry and teamwork. In 1874, the beehive was adopted as the official emblem of the area, and is now the centerpiece of the Utah State Seal and the Utah State Flag. When eating the Beehive Bundt, one cannot help but reflect on Utah's rich history, and celebrate the bounty that Utah's Own has to offer."
