ReplyDeleteI think I like them best of all at Christmas time to make the little piggies in the blanket..mmmmmmm! Gotta love the pillsbury dough boy too..I remember him from childhood; you know I think I still may have that little guy floating in my mom's attic..I remember she had to mail in upcs for it LOL! Hugs, K
My favorite Pillsbury recipe uses the crescent dinner roll dough and a recipe from the Top Secret Recipe Book to make Cinnabon Cinnabonstix. Everyone loves them! belle (blbll007 at aol dot com)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of meal time is when everyone pats their full tummies ,and tells me how great a cook I am!

my favorite Pillsbury recipe is called ham and broccoli roll, made with the crescents. You take some chopped ham, chop up some broccoli, chop a small onion, add some mustard. Then take the crescent rolls, 2 rolls and lay them in a circle, I find it easier to put a glass in the center of the cookie sheet then put the crescents around the glass. Yeah your making a ring. Put the ham/broccoli mixture in the center of the rolls, bring the top of the crescents over the ham and tuck underneath the bottom. Bake, awesome. If you want exact measurements let me know and I will get the recipe out.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun! I love the pillsbury cresent rolls, they are so versatile. How much fun it would be to get a Pillsbury pack!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog today {Craft Addict}...glad to find yours also! So, I was reading this post and was about to go get my cookbook to post my favorite recipe...but I think we have similar taste buds b/c you posted mine! :) Actually, I've never made it with the pimentos or bread crumbs on top...but we do sometimes add brocoli to the mix and make a cheese sauce to go on the outside. These are great! Thanks for the chance to participate and so glad to find another blog to follow! :)
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite Pillsbury recipe is using crescent rolls for pigs in a blanket. Or maybe their pie crusts for apple pie or lemon mirangue. I better stop there. I have too many favorites!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of family meals is just being able to relax and enjoy each other. It's a time to catch up and a time for reflection.
Thanks, too, for stopping by my blog. My big savings came at CVS. Do you have one of those in your area? If not, some of the other drugstore outfits have similar programs. Money Saving Mom at www.moneysavingmom.com has a really good description of CVSing. You should check it out - that way I'm not reinventing the wheel. It takes some practice but it's worth it. I'm also working on couponing, too. I'm having fun and saving money. What more could you ask for?
I think someone already mentioned my favorite, or at least a version of it. We make a ham, cheese and brocolli braid with the crescent rolls. It's my families favorite! That and weiner wraps!

We LOVE crescent rolls! We ate some tonight! Oh, and the Cinnabon rolls? Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that sometimes I'm a big fan of the little hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls! I also love a dish a friend makes for breakfast, where she stuffs cheese and chicken into a crescent roll and bakes it.
ReplyDeleteI use cresent rolls all the time! We use them for broccoli, chicken, ranch dressing and Monterey jack cheese, all rolled up in a little pocket! So good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about family meals is that it's usually one time during the day when I can sit(even if it's for a minute) and talk to my family. My husband works and is in school and it's the one time when he's home that we get to sit together.

We take the crescent rolls and roll them out. Put cheese on them and a little doggie. Roll em up and bake! It's a fancy pig in a blanket and is a hit every time we serve them!
