Oinkers Cover Ups!


Today is...another oinker day! This time the little piggies are tidily wrapped in a blanket. And, you get to be a hog about all the covers! Let's celebrate...

National Pigs in a Blanket Day

National Pigs In a Blanket Day is celebrated annually on April 24.  Across the world, “Pigs in a Blanket” is a term that refers to a variety of pig dishes in different blankets.

    In the United States, it is often hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit dough or croissant dough, then baked. The dough may be homemade, however, canned dough sure makes the fixin' quicker and easier. Served as appetizers these little “Pigs in a Blanket” are mighty tasty. Kids love these! Cheese can be added for a little extra zest. Just don't forget the mustard!

    Our little piggies, cocktail wieners, wrapped in biscuit dough have been tradition since the 1950s. Perhaps you want a fluffy, soft and light blanket. Try this one for breakfast: “Pigs in a Blanket” savory breakfast sausages wrapped inside pancakes. Drizzle with syrup or honey and YUM!
