Pigskins in a blanket


So I made the pigskins in a blanket (recipe courtesy of Real Simple magazine thank goodness for them) for the babyshower and they were a hit! It was a little touch and go there when I realized I didn't own any grown up serving dishes (I didn't think tupperware was appropriate or looked really great) but one trip to the store later and I had myself a nice dish that is oven and freezer safe and has a cute little metal stand too. I would highly recommend this easy and delicious recipe for any parties, the recipe was meant for a football party hence the pigskin name but really who doesn't love sausage wrapped in bread? It is really easy to do, just cut up some fully cooked sausage, roll it in those precut crescent rolls from the freezer section, and bake in the oven. Delicioso and cute too. So now all I have to do is think of my next appetizer idea to make for the potluck I have to go to next weekend. I'm learning how to cook in a hurry this holiday season!

Hi Margaret,

My kids like the pigs in the blanket too.

How about this for the party you are attending, a bean dip. It is so simple and when I make it, it never last, it is the first to go.

In a 9 x 13 pan, spread a can of Mexican bean dip. Next layer is 8 oz sour cream mixed with a packet of taco seasoning. Then I layer with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, and whatever you want to put on it. Buy a bag of Tostitos chips (buy the scoop kind) and your good to go.
Have fun at your party!
