Appetizers? AND A GIVEAWAY!

Appetizers are such a fun treat, and it is really fun trying new ones! I really like the new Pillsbury Savorings! The scrumptious, flaky treats are so tasty and flavorful! I really like Pillsbury's crust! It is so delicious! I just tried the Buffalo Style Chicken flavor. I wanted to try the Cheese and Spinach, but our grocery store didn't carry that flavor (yet) but I really hope they get that one! Pillsbury also offers the Mozzarella and Pepperoni flavor. I think my kids would like that one best. I think that this appetizer is so easy to prepare, and tastes so good! These appetizers would go well with a glass of wine, but since I can't have that right now (with being pregnant) I like the suggestions that Pillsbury gives on their site for different drink ideas. You can get a $1.00 off coupon on the Pillsbury website if you want to give them a try.
Pillsbury has also offered to give my readers a special giftbag! This is a great contest to try for! One lucky winner will receive: coupon for a free box of Savorings, wine bottle topper (with a wooden handle), box of wine charms, bottle opener, wine and food guide, stampable wine tag and an appetizer plate that also holds your wine glass!! What a collection of great items! This contest is open to all readers living in the Continental United States. Leave a comment telling me one of your favorite appetizers or food items you like to serve at a party. Click here to see how you can earn extra credits to win, and click here to see guidelines and the official rules. Contest will end on November 10th, at 7:00 PM CST. GOOD LUCK~ There will be two winners!!

It has all sorts of "secret" ingredients in it, and one I can share is it also has beef in it. It is served warm on just about anything you want to serve it on, wheat thins, triscuits, thin sliced bread, veggies, you name it, it tastes fabulous on it! I love to entertain so this wonderful Pillsbury prize is so appealing to me! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
