Holiday Preview Pillsbury Potluck Party – What Should I Make?

I was asked to host a Pillsbury Potluck Party, through MyBlogSpark and Pillsbury. Sounds fun right? And it couldn’t come at a better time with everyone scrambling to find that perfect holiday dish to bring to the table.

Did you know that Pillsbury has endless amounts of delicious dishes that you can prepare in just 30 minutes with 5 ingredients or less? Well during the party, my guests and I will taste and share several convenient ideas so that we then can recreate them at home.

As a host I am supposed to choose 1 of the 6 dishes below to prepare at the party, and I thought it would be fun to have my readers choose!! So here are my choices (with links to the recipes). Which one should I make? Leave a comment below with your choice!

• Crescent Cranberry Wreath
• Tomato-Pesto Appetizers
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Pies
• Italian Crescent Casserole
• So-Easy Chicken Pot Pie
• Spicy Chipotle Twists

 Tomato-Pesto Appetizers

I will prepare the one that gets the most votes and post the results after the party. I’m taking votes until Dec 11th, so get them in soon!But I won't leave you empty handed, I also wanted to share a $1.10 off Coupon for Pillsbury Products.

Mega Bloks Giveaway - Blok Squad Construction Site - CLOSED

My children love to build things even at 3 and 4 years old. So I was thrilled to try out a set from the Mega bloks Blok Squad line. Mega Bloks has several playsets available for the little builders in your life this holiday season, including the set sent to me, the Blok Squad Construction Site, featuring 395 pieces of magical building fun. This set includes three construction vehicles, such as a Road Roller, a Construction Vehicle 4×4, and a Track Loader. Not only that, but it also includes 3 Blok Squad Construction Workers.

I’m very impressed with this set. The blocks are durable and strong, holding together well. They don’t fall apart easily, a plus around younger children. I just love the vehicles, they roll around and they children love that they don’t fall apart easily. The set also included extra blocks to use as rocks, a wheelbarrow, cones, etc. You can purchase the Blok Squad Construction Site for $19.99. It’s available at ToysRUs, Walmart, and Amazon.
