Budget-friendly summer vacations mean staying with friends and family instead of pricey hotels. If you suddenly find your home overrun by summer guests, cooking could get tricky in a crowded kitchen. These creative uses of Pillsbury dough can help you deliver a dish for every meal, no matter how many people show up at your door!
If you get any unexpected visitors, you may be forced to improvise cinnamon rolls, a breakfast favorite. This blogger found some Pillsbury biscuit dough in her fridge, added cinnamon and sugar before baking, and voila! Place pancake syrup on the side for dipping and your guests will marvel at your cooking prowess.

Rather than frying up omelets like a short-order cook, fix this breakfast pie in the morning using Pillsbury crescent recipe creations. With eggs, sausage and bacon, everyone should be feeling full until lunch.

Want to shoo everyone out of the house for a few hours? This cheeseburger bread is a much more portable way to serve a BBQ classic. Bake it, wrap it up and send your guests to the local park for a picnic lunch so you can have a few hours of peace and quiet before the dinner planning begins.

If you’re worried ordering pizza delivery will make you look like a culinary slacker, try your hand at these veggie pizzas. No need to follow the recipes to a “T,” any leftover veggies you have stored in the fridge or freezer will do!
