Vitamin C

Behold - Orange Rolls.


At brunch the other morning we ordered a small pastry basket and one of the tiny little treats inside was an orange roll - and immediately I was 5 again. My mom used to get the most amazing orange rolls at a fabulous little bakery and they were one of my favorite Sunday morning breakfast surprises. In case you've never experienced the wonderment of the orange roll - here is a mighty fine looking recipe for them. And if you are in Houston - trot on down to Moeller's Bakery in Bellaire to test drive the orange rolls of my youth. They are heavenly.

I've never had an orange roll, but I'm long overdue for baking. Maybe this will be next up! Though I'm afraid I'd eat them all myself.

Warm gooey orange rolls make my heart smile! I made them for my husband for the first time (how can anyone go 28 years without these?!?) and he didn't like them. I gasped. I am so happy to hear that I am not the only lover of the amazing orange roll. Mmmm.

Oh yummy. They serve these at Junior League. I have been known to eat a few of these when volunteering in the kitchen. Happy belated birthday to Doug!
