Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket by Laura Vitale

This recipe combines the best of both worlds: pigs in a blanket and pull-apart bread. Wrap mini hot dogs in crescent roll dough, then bake in a cake pan for a fun, interactive snack.

You can also switch things up by using small sausages instead of mini hot dogs, or a combination of the two!

Crispy Baked Onion Rings by Casey Barber

There is no need to stand in front of the stove with a hot pot of oil to enjoy some onion rings. These crispy baked onion rings are so much easier to make and better for you to boot.
