Last week my kids and I had the opportunity to attend a Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry party thrown by a local blogger in town. I was so excited to attend the party because I knew there would be food. It sounds silly, I know, but it was food I could eat that I didn’t have to prepare. Add that to the fact that this is supposed to be work (aka I’m getting paid), this gig was too good to pass up.
That ALWAYS make a good party in my book.
Mariah whipped up six separate dishes, all featuring Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. She made three savory dishes and three sweet dishes. Honestly, they were all delicious. I’ve used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry a ton in the past when making sweet dishes, but I’ve never used it for a savory dish, until now.
From these delicious Burger Bites —
to these delectable Candy Cupcakes — it was definitely a party for the taste buds.
Oh y’all! These Candy Cupcakes (with Snickers hidden inside) are so good. #Puffpastry sheets cut into squares and wrapped around a bite-sized Snickers. Pure deliciousness! #ad A photo posted by Crystal Reagan (@simplybeingmommy) on
Oh my gosh, y’all, it was all way too good. I couldn’t stop after one so I just kept on eating.
Figures! Just when I need to be swimsuit ready…
But while I was at the party, I got so many new recipe ideas I wanted to try at home. From sweet to savory, over the summer, I hope to share some of these ideas when time allows and my kids give me a break from swimming, going to the movies, and building tents.
Do you know what that is, y’all?
It’s Caprese Pizza. But not just Caprese Pizza. It’s Easy Caprese Pizza. Probably one of the easiest pizzas you’ll ever make.
Are you drooling yet? ‘Cause I totally am. Not gonna lie.
I was going to keep this all to myself, but it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t share this Easy Caprese Pizza with the whole world. Everybody deserves this kind of goodness.

When I was pregnant with my second child, all I wanted to eat was cheese pizza, preferably of the cardboard variety. Thankfully that didn’t last! I need pizza to be a little bit more flavorful than the packaging it comes in. The looks incredible, especially the balsamic glaze!
