It's Party Time!

Christmas time = party time for pretty much everyone I know.  The entire month of December is a great time to gather with friends, drink wine, eat too much food, indulge in sweets, and bake your buns off.  Am I right or am I right?

So it's no surprise that I was excited to take part in the Pillsbury Potluck Party brought to me by MyBlogSpark.  I gathered with a few friends and family members to try out some easy and delicious Pillsbury recipes.  We tasted, talked, shared ideas, and then tasted some more.  These recipes were seriously gooooooood.  Here are a few of the yummys that we enjoyed:

Crescent Cranberry Wreath, made by yours truly. (me!)

Mini Raspberry-Almond Swirls

Monkey Bread with Caramel (this is to-die-for... not kidding!)

*Images are from the Pillsbury website... my card reader is not currently working so I don't have any photos of the actual food I made and served.* 

My guests and I had a great time making and tasting these recipes, and I'm planning to whip up a few more for my upcoming cookie swap this week.  There are many other delicious recipes that ya'll should check out over at Pillsbury.  Guaranteed to save you time, your guests will think that you were a slave to the kitchen!
