Glazed Orange Rolls
There is a really nice story behind this recipe. when i was 10 and in girl scouts we had a potluck and my mom brought these rolls. she had found the recipe in a newspaper clip-out. all the recipes/items brought were turned into a gs cookbook for our region. when we received our cookbook - low and behold we were missing a few pages and of course this recipe was on those pages. it has taken me 30 years to find this recipe (well i did not search all 30 but it did take over a year of hard searching to find it). a man (no name ever given) from a community recipe group i belong shared this recipe after i posted again of my search. my mom is thrilled as it is the recipe she remembers and now i will have more than just the memory of these yummy rolls but also of the history that goes along with it. i probably would have forgotten that potluck dinner with the other girl scouts if it were not for this lost recipe that now has been found. i hope you too enjoy them and make special memori
