1:14
awesome girls at the bakery decided that

they would be the honey bun uh-huh in
1:19
the back and then she decided Caitlin
1:23
that I would be the queen bee I saw like
1:26
it and all this will be present oh yeah

recommend man yeah that's great great
2:29
way to make bread at home it is but
2:31
there's no preservatives in it or
2:33
anything so you probably need it pretty
2:34
quickly don't ya you know we make bread
2:37
every few days or freezer yes
2:39
that's a great idea well I love your red
2:43

13:08
it was in a head pecans in it and she
13:10
did like a bourbon pecan place kind of
13:12
like a twist on my pecan pie recipe
13:15
because they were put it like she she is
13:18
she is she thinks outside the box
13:21
does you know I finally got in the bar
13:23
right and I started doing my interviews
13:25
where I said I knew I was looking for
13:27
somebody creative and I had her come in
13:29
and make a couple of things and she did
13:32
tooth twist on things that were in my
13:34
cookbook but her own way and I had a
13:36
great idea I know if I could just find a
13:40

13:43
awesome
13:44
miss Kaitlyn but um so we're putting in
13:46
