Headlines: Are You Ready for the Big Game?

 

Everyone’s favorite football game is this Sunday and you’re not officially prepared until you have your snacks planned out. But if you’re really going to make the most of it, why not get a little creative with the menu? The following bloggers have found all sorts of creative ways to incorporate Pillsbury products into their plans for the big game.

Barbeque Chicken Pizza
While you don’t necessarily need a special occasion to enjoy this all-American favorite, it does seem to taste especially good when paired with an all-American sport. Worcestershire sauce, oregano and brown sugar give this a special kick that’ll turn up the excitement with your sports fans.

Charmin’ Cherry Bars
This blogger makes a good point that Valentine’s Day is “right on the heels of the big game,” so why not make something that supports both occasions? This Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe features a coconut, walnut and maraschino cherry filling inside delicious shortbread cookies.

Cucumber Sandwiches
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you’re not a fan of cucumbers—this guest blogger admits that her friends are often skeptical of this recipe, passed down to her from her mother. With a cream cheese mixture, slice of cucumber and sprinkling of dill atop slices of Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf bread, it might take your guests by surprise. Nevertheless, she assures you that the moment someone gives them a try, they’ll be gone faster than you can say, “touchdown!”

Mini Beef and Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Amongst a diverse array of recipes presented in one post, this blogger suggests that these will be the first to disappear from the table. Luckily, they’re easy enough to make that a second round can be whipped up before the half time show is over. Mix tomato sauce, beef, pepperoni and cheese and spoon onto Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls. Bake for about 15 minutes and your Sunday football menu is complete!
