Hey, if this is your first time here, subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Look, I’m a busy mom. I don’t always have time to cook and sometimes its just me at home so its not worth it to cook a full meal. When the kids are gone, I usually eat leftovers, fast food, or frozen quick meals. But the frozen meals all seem to be low-cal, low-fat, low-taste. I mean, come on, if I wanted to eat watered down bland stuff, I’d stick with Ramen noodles.
So when I got the chance to try out something new, I said “Of course!”
Pillsbury now has a new line of appetizers called ‘Savorings’. Here’s how they describe them:
Yes, they look that good in real life!
Pillsbury Savorings Flaky Pastry Bites feature warm, flaky pastry dough wrapped around tasty fillings and come in three varieties; cheese and spinach, buffalo style chicken and mozzarella and pepperoni. They are easy to prepare (just 20 minutes in the oven) and are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine.
Ok, admit it. We’re all a little skeptical when it comes to ad copy. They use all of these yummy sounding descriptions for food that ends up tasting like cardboard. Not this time!
When they say “flaky pastry dough”, they mean it! The crust part came out perfectly. Kinda like croissants but a little crispier. I wanted to try the cheese and spinach but Princess was with me when I went to get them at the grocery store, so we got the mozzarella and pepperoni. Oh they were so good! Its hard trying to describe how something tastes so just think of them as gourmet pizza bite thingies. Is that fancy enough?
Now I don’t drink anymore or any less but let’s just say I’m familiar with wine and these really would be great with a glass or two of red. I’m thinking the cheese and spinach ones might go better with white though.
Hey, that’s a perfect lead-in to the giveaway!
For one lucky winner, I’ve got a coupon for a free box of Pillsbury Savorings and a gorgeous organza gift bag that contains a wine bottle topper, wine glass charms, a bottle opener, a wine and food guide, stampable wine tags and an appetizer plate that also holds your wine glass.
Just leave me a comment letting me know which flavor you’d like to try and you’ll be entered to win. I’ll take entries until Friday 10/24/08 at 10 PM Central then I’ll choose a random number based on the number of comments.
Good luck!
P.S. If you have a hard time finding these in your local grocery stores, like I did, you can visit the General Mills product locator to find which stores closest to you carry them.

Mmmmm! I haven’t even been able to find them, and I was not going to waste gas yet to find them, would wait till I was nearby another store to see if they were there. THEY sounded great, and was glad to hear that from a “person” and not a AD! TY for the opportunity that you are giving your readers… very nice of you!

The Cheese and Spinach ones sound delish! I don’t think I’ve seen these in the stores yet around here (or maybe I haven’t looked hard enough).
