Party Food Ideas Just in Time for the Holidays

Blog· Food and Drinks

Tracking PixelThank you Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry for sponsoring today’s conversation. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Whether you like it or not the new year is almost here. In preparation for 2015, a few friends and I gathered to have a New Year’s Eve Party but just a couple weeks early. We wanted to get together to chat about the new year, figure out recipes we can use at our own party and of course, try all the recipes.

Puff Pastry PartyOur hostesses did an amazing job of giving us so many different ideas for food using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastries. They made simple recipes go from ordinary to extraordinary and I took note! One of my favorite ideas of the night was using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheets and placing brie inside with a bit of honey, then the puff pastry was wrapped around the brie and baked. It was pure heaven.

Puff Pastry New Years

IMG_2242The Puff Pastries offer a simple way to upgrade your entertaining experience. They’re perfect blank canvas to help you bring to life your own unique, impressive dishes that guests of any occasion will love! Not only did we eat small bites, we even had Puff Pastry dessert.

IMG_2244Want to know how easy these desserts were to make? The hostess baked Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Cups then carefully poked out the center. We filled the center with rolos and kisses then baked for a few more seconds, just enough to melt the chocolate. We were served these over vanilla ice cream then we drizzled caramel over it! So easy but so good.

IMG_2247After I left the party, I started thinking that I wanted to make my own Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dessert so I went to the store and found them in the freezer section. The Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets MSRP were $4.95 and the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Cups were $3.88. I bought one of each because I wasn’t certain what I was going to make yet.  Then I thought, “How about a grab and go dessert?”

Before I knew it, I was making a dessert filled with strawberry jelly and a cream cheese filling topped with chocolate.

Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Dessert BitesThis was one of the easiest, most delicious desserts that I have ever made. I used one box of Puff Pastry Sheets. Before you start making this dessert, pull out your Puff Pastry sheets and allow them to thaw. Preheat the over to 400 degrees. While your oven is preheating, lay the sheet so it lays flat. I cut strips that were approximately 1 inch by 3 inches. Bake for about 10 minutes. The dough has the same basic ingredients as pie pastry, but the dough is folded multiple times to create layers. When baked, steam makes the layers rise about 8 times higher.

IMG_2293Once they cool for about a minute or two, you will be able to pull the top off of the Puff Pastry and split it into two. I knew I wanted to use strawberry jelly and cream cheese, but you can add whatever filling you want. On one side of the Puff Pastry I added the strawberry, and the other side I added the cream cheese.

IMG_2299I’m not going to lie, I ate a few of these just like this. They were quite irresistible. Although they were delicious just like this, I took it one step farther. I put the Puff Pastries back together and drizzled melted chocolate on top. The chocolate really blends well with the strawberry and cream cheese filling.

Puff PastryDon’t forget the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastries can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store. Look for the box below. The box comes with 2 sheets, and I used one for my recipe. I made approximately 20 dessert bites with one sheet.

Pepperidge Farm Puff PastryI can’t wait to use the Puff Pastry Cups, what should I make with them?

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
