Enter the 45th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off (plus giveaway) #MyBlogSpark

Today, I received a package from Pillsbury via MyBlogSpark that included the 100 winning recipes from Pillsbury's 44th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off.  My husband actually leafed through the winning recipes and pointed out various ones that he wants to try -- including main dishes, breakfasts and, of course, desserts!  Some of them look pretty yummy and one of the ones high on his list for "make soon" was the Double Peanut Butter Fudge Pie. As a side note, when I see the next edition of this beautifully delicious looking recipe booklet, I'm going to buy it!  I found a lot of inspiration inside and my husband didn't mind pointing out recipes that he thinks he would enjoy as well.

There's still time to enter to win Pillsbury's 45th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off!
