Headlines of the Week - July 10, 2009

Read these great posts from the past holiday weekend, and try some of the delicious recipes out!

Looking to feed your family this weekend with some random items you probably have lying around the kitchen? Of course you are! Susan’s Penny Pinching Pantry Raid this week features Pillsbury’s Crescent Rolls as Pigs-in-a-Blanket for lunch and some Pillsbury cookies later that evening for dessert!

In the first of many post-Independence Day blogs, one Pillsbury fan enjoyed the deliciousness and simplicity of her Berry Glace Pie so much that she ran out to the store after the company had left so she could make herself another one! Using the Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts, she gave her creation five stars and labeled it “dang good.” http://whatsinyouroven.blogspot.com/2009/07/berry-glace-pie.html
 
Another Berry Pie for the 4th of July, but this time with blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries! “Viola!” the blogger exclaims as she recalls her delicious weekend, “The easiest pie that you've ever made.” http://thewisteriahouse.blogspot.com/2009/07/weekend-recap.html
 
It seems that not everyone opted for a berry-based pie this past weekend, though the Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts seem to have become a staple amongst crowd-pleasing holiday hosts. This blogger went for a Banana Pie, which she suggests her readers “Serve ... err ... devour with whipped cream.”

Last but not least, who can resist a new use for barbeque sauce? In Mama Mel’s recipe for her “Barbeque Chicken Buns”, she lays out her method of cooking barbeque chicken into some Pillsbury Big and Flaky Crescent Rolls, as well as the recipe for her own, personal “Better BBQ Sauce”. http://mamamelloves1.blogspot.com/2009/07/barbeque-chicken-buns.html
