NATIONAL PIGS-IN-A-BLANKET DAY

On April 24, observe National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day with just a few ingredients.  

Celebrated across the world, the term often refers to a variety of different dishes. In the United States, Pigs-in-a-Blanket are often hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit or croissant dough and baked. Pigs-in-a-Blanket are generally served as an appetizer or as breakfast. However, it can be served any meal time!

HOW TO OBSERVE

Share your version of Pigs-In-A-Blanket using #NationalPigBlanketDay on social media.

(My first thought was 'what am I going to do with this one'!! Bear with me, followers!)

1.  Typically served as an hors d'oeuvre, have you ever made or had a Pig-in-a-Blanket?  Do you like Pigs-in-a-Blanket?  It has been a long time, but they are okay. I would prefer them dipped in mustard instead of ketchup (in the picture).  I have never made them.

2.  Pigs-in-a-blanket are also known as devils on horseback, kilted sausages, and wiener winks. (Seriously.)  Please make up another name for this fun little appetizer!  How about Party Pigs! 

3.  In the UK, pigs-in-blankets are small sausages, or chipolatas wrapped up in bacon.  Which country's version is most appealing to your taste buds? Sausage wrapped in bacon sounds much better to me, thank you very much.

4.  The first written record of pigs-in-a-blanket occurs in Betty Crocker's Cooking for Kids in 1957.  In this digital world, do you still have a favorite cookbook you use most of the time?  Is there a recipe you can share with us from that cookbook?  Well, I have two to mention, both church cookbooks.  My mom's Methodist Church cookbook, because it has many of her recipes and my grandma's recipes; AND my former church's Resurrection Council of Catholic Women Cookbook. Here is a recipe from each!

I always use walnuts but pecans or even hazelnuts would be good, too.

Easy, different, and delicious!

This cornbread is dense, moist, sweet and delicious!

Use shortening, though, not oil.

I bake it in a 9x9 glass dish and it only takes about 45 minutes.

Test the middle with a knife or toothpick.

5.  What is your favorite cooking show on TV?  I really like Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman (Joe even watches!).  We both also enjoy watching Chopped.  Joe is a bit of a picky eater but I have found that I can say "This is one of Ree's recipes!" and he will try it and like it!! Shhhh.... don't say anything about this!

6.  Tell us something random about your week, please!  More doctor appointments this week. I got my skin cancer cut out yesterday. Glad that is done. 

We MAY work in a trip over to Mazzaro's today. We like an imported (from Italy) pasta that they sell and I am running low.  Joe will go right to the pastry counter. I will suggest a Friday instead because we can get through Tampa and across the Bay between rush hours.  I am looking forward to my 3-day weekend coming up!!
