If I Had a Nickel...

         Friends, you may not believe this, but I’m the person who invented those tortilla roll-up appetizers you see at grocery stores and at nearly every party.

          I used to enter cook-offs as a hobby, and in the 90's I entered the National Beef Cook-off after winning my state cook-off. Here’s what I made:

           Of course, it can also be cut into smaller segments. Flying to the competition in Arkansas, my husband said, “You know I love your cooking. And this is a great sandwich, but this is a cook-off. And you’re not actually cooking anything.”

          He was beginning the consolation for when I didn’t win. But I knew that, and I was thrilled just to be included. Little did I know I’d place 3^rd (!!!) and that my idea would sweep the nation.

          And that’s why I say, “If I had a nickel for every roll-up that’s made today…”

However, I’m still churning out ideas and life hacks on my Youtube Mom channel, right here. If you'd like to read my blog about why I'm no longer entering cook-offs, visit https://jonihilton.blogspot.com/2020/11/death-of-hobby.html
