Best Holiday Recipes

Last week, I had a Pillsbury Potluck Party where each person brought a dish that they found on Pillsbury.com.  The variety and dishes were amazing. We all shared recipes back and forth, although all are on Pillsbury.com for everyone to enjoy. Then, we voted on our favorite. See a sampling of our potluck party below and which recipe won the title of “Best Holiday Recipe”.

Streusel-Topped Apple, Cranberry and Fig Tart

This tart/pie was a big hit. It is a dessert full of surprises, it is way more than an apple pie! The addition of cranberries makes it quite festive and the figs give it an unexpected pleasant flavor!

Winner for Best Holiday Recipe

The winner was the Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Honey! Congratulations, Diana! This was my favorite too, although all dishes were super yummy. I have enjoyed Candied Sweet Potatoes for years. So, when I learned that this recipe is not the heavy brown sugar recipe that I was use to, I wasn’t sure if I would like it. The combination of honey and cinnamon is amazing with sweet potatoes – who knew?! I recommend trying the Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Honey this Thanksgiving or Christmas!

Potlucks are so fun. The hostess can relax a little by not preparing every dish. People generally like bringing something to share that sort of represents who they are. Recipes say a lot about a person, don’t you think? In the end, everyone ate too much and went home with great new recipes!
