June Celebrity Cook-Along

Hey everyone! I think it's time to highlight a guy, how about the Pillsbury Doughboy! Anyone that has his own balloon in the Thanksgiving Day Parade is a Celebrity in my book! And hey now, let's face it, if ya can't come up with something to make from Pillsbury... you just don't want to cook.

This is wide open, you can go to Pillsbury.com, use a cookbook, a magazine, a Bake-Off recipe, a recipe from an advertisement or simply use a Pillsbury product (listing what it is, ie: pie crust, flour, crescent rolls, etc.) and your own recipe.

***GIVE-AWAY NEWS***
