I really can’t believe there are less than 10 days till Christmas. Please, someone pinch me. But before you pinch me, will you please wrap all the gifts that I’m hoarding in my guest room closet? Thanks. Anyways, I’ve been busy in the kitchen lately and have a couple new recipes to blog about (nothing healthy this month…I’m all about sugar, sugar, and more sugar in the month of December), but before that, I have a very special post that I need to get to. We have a guest blogger this week! This post comes to you courtesy of my hilarious brother-in-law, Christopher. He made his infamous Pigs-in-a-Blanket for our Thanksgiving Party and I’m just now remembering to post it, so my apologies. And now that I have Chris’ help, I can finish up my holiday baking so I don’t go another 2 weeks without a new blog post. Take it away, Christopher!
Pigs-in-a-Blanket by Christopher
This recipe is pretty simple.
- Buy Little Smokies at the grocery store and buy the Original Crescent stuff.
- Roll the crescent dough flat and cut out small triangles that you can roll the smokies up in.
- Once rolled, put them in the oven at 375 for 12-15 minutes. I think that was the temp and time…it says on the side of the crescent roll box how long to cook.
- Take out of the oven, put on a fun, festive holiday dish, add some exciting and tasty dipping sauces, and enjoy!
Fun tips or Facts
- I prefer to roll them in front of the T.V. It can take a long time to roll 50 smokies, so why not enjoy some Seinfeld at the same time?
- I was first introduced to making Pigs in a Blanket by a girl from the South. Atlanta, to be exact.
- Lil Smokies are great for all occasions…Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs!
- Lil Smokies are naturally low in sugar! But they are high in saturated fat and sodium.
- For added flavor and excitement, try wrapping your Lil Smokies in bacon!
