Rosemary and Cheddar Cheese Straws and the Beauty of Puff Pastry!

Everyone has their own unique entertaining style.  Some people choose elegance, fine china and flutes of expensive champagne.  Some people choose takeout and football.  I tend to fall somewhere in between.  I like the food I serve at parties to LOOK elegant and complicated but to be incredibly easy to make!  After my recent experience at the Pepperidge Farm Game Night Party, I have decided that Puff Pastry is definitely my new favorite party food!

At the recent Pepperidge Farm party, we were treated to an amazing array of foods from Stacie at Divine Lifestyle, and her husband.  I was truly amazed at the versatility that the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry offered.  There were both sweet and savory dishes available and I seriously could not decide which ones to try first!

Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry is not just for holiday entertaining.  You can make things like ham and cheese sandwiches or small rolls to top with homemade chicken salad.  Of course, the desserts were probably some of my favorites!  Flaky rolls of  Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry  with Nutella tucked inside were so beautiful, not to mention tasty!   Made with similar ingredients as a regular pie pastry, the dough is folded repeatedly for flaky layers that rise eight times higher. It is incredibly easy to use.  Pepperidge Farm also makes pastry shells that you just stuff with fresh fruit and whipped cream and serve!  How simple is that?
