The 45th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off has arrived!
They would love to have you participate! Pillsbury is looking for original recipes that taste and look delicious, are easy to prepare and that families across America will love to eat. You can submit recipes in one of four recipe categories:
* The Breakfast & Brunches category includes casual brunch or weekend family breakfast ideas. For example, sweet rolls, pull-aparts, pastries, breakfast breads, egg dishes or breakfast sandwiches.
* In the Entertaining Appetizers category, entrants can submit appetizers and snacks to serve at casual gatherings with family and friends or for holiday entertaining. For example, bite size appetizers, tartlets, pinwheels, puffs, bruschetta or focaccia.
* The Dinner Made Easy™ category encourages home cooks to create easy-to-prepare main dishes that will delight your family. For example, pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, foldovers, casseroles, chilis, soups or savory pies.
* Quick and easy treats for anytime celebrations can be entered into the Sweet Treats category. For example, cookies, pies, tarts, brownies or bars.
Entries are being accepted online between now and April 18, 2011, at www.bakeoff.com. One hundred lucky finalists will compete for a chance at the grand prize during the contest finals, which take place March 25-27, 2012 at the Peabody Orlando Hotel in Florida. You’ll also find contest details, including eligible products, prizes and the official rules, on the web site.
The recipes will be judged for 1) taste, 2) appearance, 3) creativity and 4) consumer appeal. All entries must meet the requirements of the recipe category and appropriately use two of the eligible products in at least the quantity specified.

I’ve not tried any of them…but last year’s winner’s recipe looked good to me…Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups. What always amazes me is the winner’s recipes always seem so simple and I end up thinking, ‘wow…why didn’t I think of that.’ If you go to their site you can see all the history of the bake off and the winners. http://www.pillsbury.com/bakeoff/History/2000s
The Easy Crescent Danish Rolls are my favorite.
I don’t have a favorite. My mother had a lot of these books and we made something new together every week! I loved the bunt cakes the most.

Several years ago Pillsbury had a regional bake-off for kids in conjunction with Wegmans. My niece entered a recipe for Taco Bake and won the grand prize – a trip for 4 to Disney. So I’d have to say that’s my favorite Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe.

My favorite recipes would have to be the Chocolate Grasshopper Cheesecake. It’s all of my favorite foods in one. Yummy!!
I love Pillsbury for a very different reason. They have managed to make a sugar-free cake mix that my husband loves. Each week I make him cup cakes with Pillsbury’s ( sugar-free icing and he has a guilt free week of yummy treats. Freeze and take out one or two a day.
