Dutch Oven Cookoff

My grandpa is a professional dutch oven cooker.....or at least I consider him to be. For youth conference this next weekend we are having a dutch oven cookoff between the classes and quorums. Well....I'm not usually very competetive, but I really really really wanna beat the Priests. The Miamaids and Teachers aren't as into it as we are. So my grandpa said he'd help us out. Ya know, teach us the tricks to dutch oven cooking. So the Laurels went over to his house yesterday and we had so much fun learning about all this stuff!

This is my grandpa. He has a secret method of lighting the best briquettes.
This is Bri cutting the cinnamon rolls with dental floss.
These are the uncooked cinnamon rolls sitting in the dutch oven.
These are the cinnamon rolls when they are all cooked. Aren't they beautiful? They were PROBABLY the best tasting cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten! Taylor's mom was with us and she brought him home one. While he was eating it he said, "We are so gonna lose."

After taking this picture, I had a couple slight mishaps. Bri wasn't being very careful pouring the sauce... and it splattered on my shirt. Then when we were taking the pizza out, it also splattered on me. Only this time all over my pink pants.
One of our uncooked pizzas.
The same pizza after being cooked. I don't like olives so I ate the other pizza.
The Laurels are for sure gonna win with our new found skills. We are masters of the dutch oven!
