This time of year is great for testing new recipes. And with Thanksgiving being next week, you will likely have hungry guinea pigs to test your new creations on. My favorite part of Thanksgiving dishes has to be the herbs. Herb-a-licous flavors make me happy.
I recently made these soup dipper pastry squares that are full of those herb flavors I love. They were so simple to make using only Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets, olive oil and herbs!
Start out by cutting the puff pastry sheets into 8 strips about ½" wide and 3" long. Weave the strips together so 4 or vertical and 4 are horizontal. Place on a lined baking sheet and repeat until you have the desired amount of pastry squares. Brush each square with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite fresh herbs.
Pop them in the oven fat 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve them with your favorite fall soup (like this Pumpkin Beer Soup).
I loved coming up with a new way to use Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets. I’m part of the Pepperidge Farm “Puff is the Spark” panel which means you can submit your own ideas for using puff pastry inspired by the Thanksgiving season for a chance to win a trip to the Pepperidge Farm Innovation Center (with me!) and have your recipe included in the Campbell’s Kitchen Recipe Database!
Simply leave a comment below telling me what recipe you would create for a chance to win!
Last month's favorite recipe suggestion came from Chris: "I love using puff pastry to make ham and cheese pinwheels. Always a crowd favorite."

So many fun things to do with puff pastry. Every Thanksgiving we make an amazing vegetable pot pie. It started out as a meal for the vegetarians, but now every member of the family requests it and it is always the first thing to go. The crust is so flaky and buttery. It is great as a meal or as a side dish with turkey, mashed potatoes and all of the fixings. True comfort food and is the most requested item at our holiday dinners.

I'm a sucker for puffed pastry brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and then rolled and baked. It's even better when you sprinkle with chocolate chips before rolling. You wouldn't think the chocolate and cinnamon would work but they do. YUM!

Who doesn't love Pepperidge Farms? So many delicious ideas are running through my head for their puff pastry! I am a huge fan of breakfast casseroles, and think these would be delicious with a mixture of eggs, sausage & cheese, but imagine more of a brunch appetizer portion size. And then there is dessert! Imagine pushing the dough into muffin tins to make a little tart shell that could be filled with all sorts of fillings--mousse, pie fillings, etc... I also love napoleons & am thinking a light lemon or lime filling with fresh fruit (kiwi, strawberries, etc...) & some fresh whipping cream would be delicious!

I would love to try making some Holiday appetizers using Pepperidge Farms puffed pastry, some herb cream cheese, turkey and maybe some cranberry sauce on top. Yum!
Dorangela says
Being a baker I'm very familiar with all of Pepperidge Farms amazing products. I would do a lovely flaky turkey Wellington using the puff pastry, not with the usual Wellington gravy but with a cranberry chutney type sauce, yum!
Tori says
A cranberry chutney sounds delish!
Jenny Raulli says
I love using Pepperidge Farms for all types of food. At this time of year I would make a sausage stuffing pocket for my kids for lunch. My favorite dessert using puff pastries has to be a Napoleon with fresh raspberries, homemade whipped cream and a chocolate ganache. SO yummy!
Tori says
Ok. Let's skip dinner that dessert sounds perfect. :)

This would be so much fun! I'm not a big foodie, but I do LOVE Pepperidge Farm products. I'm thinking a Puff Pastry Thanksgiving Sandwich would be REALLY good. A little turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce all nestled between two pastries. My favorite foods...yum!
Tori says
Load it ALL in. Yum, that sounds good Kristin!

Pepperidge Farm was literally a stone's throw away from my house growing up. I remember the smell of baked stuff floating through the air it was great! We even went on a factory tour when we were kids. I'd love to see what they are all about now. Chessmen and Milano cookies are a staple in my home.
Tori says
What great memories Keisha! I imagine the neighborhood smells were divine.
