Stop and Smell The Roses
Why I Love This Recipe
It's not my thing to wait for a guy to bring me roses especially when I can do so many yummy things with them. (The garnish is a recipe from Johnny Iuzinni)
Ingredients You'll Need

6 rose petals
1 egg white
1/4 Cup granulated sugar

Candied rose petals:

Place petals on a sheet tray and insert into the oven.
Turn the oven off and allow them to crisp but not color.
