National Volunteer Week falls in April. Enjoy these parent Volunteer Gifts Ideas with printable gift tags to show how you appreciate your volunteers. Say thank you with these random acts of kindness and parent gift ideas.

Volunteer Gifts Ideas

When I was a teacher, boy did I appreciate my classroom volunteers. Parents were amazing from coming in weekly to work with a student, to cutting up classroom supplies, to creating bulletin boards. When my girls began school, I was in the classroom weekly returning the favor. Both when I taught and when I volunteered was before Pinterest, so I had to get really creative with my Volunteer Appreciation Gifts.

Thank God for the evolution of Pinterest!

How do you appreciate your volunteers?

The point of National Volunteer week is to show a random act of kindness to your classroom helpers. Say thank you with these parent gift ideas. Purchase a plant, cake, candy bar, gift card and attach a printable thank you gift tag.

When is National Volunteer Week?

The exact dates of National Volunteer Appreciation Week vary based on the year. If looking in advance, it is typically the third week of April. For 2021, National Volunteer Week will fall between April 18 – 24th. It typically comes two weeks before Teacher Appreciation Week.

What do you do for volunteer appreciation?

You might ask yourself, what is a good gift to show appreciation? Recognizing the impact of a volunteer doesn’t have to be a grandiose event. Often small gifts of thanks show the most appreciation.

We put together a list of creative parent volunteer gifts. All offer inspiration and all a bonus, all offer printable Gift Tags for Parent Volunteers. I personally love when I can pick up a small thoughtful gift at the grocery store and attach a thank you gift tag. Easy-peasy.

Creative recipes using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls on Frugal Coupon Living.

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Recipes

There is nothing better than the rich, comforting flavor of a Pillsbury crescent roll. Pillsbury products have long been my favorite when it comes to comfort food, and my family’s favorite too! I have such fond memories of passing them around at the dinner table with my kids, and I’m sure they’ll have the same with their own families one day. Pillsbury Christmas cookies are by far the best for the holidays, you can’t go wrong with Pillsbury biscuit recipes. Plus, their Pillsbury crescent recipes make quick and easy meals so much more doable.

We are obsessed with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. The baked crescent dough tastes great alone, but there are tons of creative, outside-the-box ways you can incorporate them into your daily recipes! From breakfast and snacks to entrees and desserts, we provided an endless list of ideas and creations for every taste. These recipes may challenge you to think outside the roll, as they say, and lay it all out on the table — yep, I’m still talking about the crescent roll dough!

Is puff-pastry the same as crescent rolls?

In our experience, puff pastry is quite different from the traditional Pillsbury crescent rolls. Puff pastry is much thinner while the Pillsbury crescent rolls are thick and doughy -and so delicious! Puff pastry is usually used when a recipe should be flaky and the main flavor of the dish is what is on the puff pastry, rather than the puff pastry itself. Pillsbury crescent roll dough is flavorful, packed with that Pillsbury product flavor, and perfect for your favorite doughy foods. Check out the list below for some favorite crescent roll recipes of ours!

Are crescent rolls unhealthy?

Everything in moderation is healthy! If you are hoping to lose some weight or you’re counting calories, I wouldn’t suggest these recipes every day. They are perfect for those special days you get to indulge in everything delicious and hearty, from Pillsbury crescent roll monkey bread to mouthwatering, thick crust pizza. Try not to think of it as to whether it’s healthy or unhealthy, but rather as an indulgence that your family will love.

What can you do with croissants?

Anything! As moms, we know the best meals for families are the quickest to make, especially when they still taste great. Using Pillsbury crescent roll dough is typically used for the best croissants you’ve ever had, but what many don’t know is that you can make any recipe that much better when using the easy-bake Pillsbury crescent roll dough. From desserts to dinners, to snacks in between, the opportunities are endless when you introduce Pillsbury crescent roll recipes to your kitchen rotation. Pillsbury crescent roll dough is a staple in our fridge because of how versatile it is. Follow the package directions for an easy, delicious side dish, or let your imagination run wild with the many crescent roll recipes that we’ve rounded up.

Puff Pastry Asparagus Recipe

March 27, 2021 by administrator Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media

Rich and flaky puff pastry wrapped around asparagus and baked to perfection! Try our take on a classic asparagus tart that the whole family will love. This recipe is by far the most delicious way to enjoy asparagus.

Puff Pastry Asparagus Recipe

Over the years, my kiddos have gotten better at eating their vegetables. Back in the day I used to search for recipes that would both delight their taste buds and add some veggie goodness to their plates. It’s always a win in my book when they clear their plates and eat every last bit of their greens. The CDC recommends that children get 1-3 cups of vegetables per day, depending on their age and other factors. Meanwhile, us adults need 5-13 servings. That’s a lot! Based on these recommendations, picky kids aren’t the only ones who can benefit from creative ways to eat vegetables. I love keeping all kinds of veggie recipes on hands to keep the green part of our plates interesting at the dinner table.

These puff pastry asparagus roll-ups are just plain delicious. Full stop. I mean, come on — the combination of the butter, flaky puff pastry dough with tender roasted asparagus is enough to make my mouth water. The great thing about this recipe is that they can be made for any occasion. They make an impressive party food, they’ll wow guests at dinners, and they’re quick and easy enough to make for your family on weeknights. Plus, you can even get the kids in the kitchen to help! Their little hands would be great for rolling the asparagus up in the dough. I’m totally a sucker for recipes that can get the whole family involved.

The cheese makes these puff pastry asparagus roll-ups over-the-top delicious. I feel like I could add cheese to anything, and my kids would get excited about it. I used an Italian cheese blend, but you could substitute parmesan, mozzarella, or even white cheddar in a pinch. Any sharp white cheese complements this dish perfectly. You can even grate more cheese on top when they’re still hot after you take them out of the oven. YUM!

Can you swap out crescent rolls for puff pastry?

Absolutely! Crescent roll dough is a perfect substitute if you don’t have puff pastry on hand. They are basically pre-cut versions of puff pastry, and have more flavor, too! Even if you do have puff pastry, I recommend you try this recipe out with a can of crescent roll dough at some point to mix things up. My whole family loves Pillsbury crescent rolls, and I’m sure your family won’t complain either!

How do I bake puff pastry?

A good rule of thumb when baking puff pastry is to not over-handle the dough. You will only need to roll it out gently to get the desired thickness, so make sure you don’t overdo it. If you mess with the dough too much, it could turn out dense and tough instead of light and flaky, so keep that in mind! I like having the kids help me with this recipe, but sometimes it’s best if I do the rolling out and the kids are in charge of wrapping them up in the rectangles of dough. When you’re checking the puff pastry asparagus for doneness, look for a light golden color on the pastry. That’s how you’ll know they are perfectly baked!

Ingredients:

1 pound asparagus (about 12 asparagus), trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 (17.3 ounce) box puff pastry, thawed (or use Crescent Rolls)
½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend
1 egg, beaten

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

White Bread – Bread Machine Recipe

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 24, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media

Calling all bread lovers! Skip the store-bought loaf and make this easy and delicious bread machine white bread. This is the best bread machine recipe for white bread out there. Ah, I can almost smell the fresh bread baking now…

White Bread Bread Machine Recipe

Best Bread Machine White Bread Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for all things bread, especially when it’s freshly baked! There’s nothing like slicing through a loaf of bread that’s still warm and slathering a piece with butter or your favorite jam. While most people were at home during the past year, I noticed that making bread from scratch became a popular activity. Some loaves, especially sourdough, can take days or even weeks to perfect. I’m sure that the payoff is delicious, but as a busy mom, I prefer using our bread machine to make homemade bread!

This bread machine recipe for white bread will quickly become a staple in your house. The recipes that come with bread makers sometimes yield a dense bread that’s less than appetizing. I prefer to use my own recipes, like this bread machine white bread recipe. It creates a fluffy bread that still holds up — aka, the best of both worlds! Basically, it’s everything white bread should be. I love to use this white bread for everything, from buttered toast in the morning to hearty sandwiches at lunchtime. Make a loaf on Sunday and enjoy it all week long — or as long as your family takes to devour it! Here’s a pro tip: if your bread starts to get a bit stale, use it to make your own croutons or breadcrumbs!

Do you have to use bread flour to make this bread?

Using bread flour in this bread machine white bread recipe is important to get the right texture. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour if you’re in a bind. Since all-purpose flour has a lower protein content than bread flour, the texture won’t be exactly the same, but the bread will still taste delicious! I’d recommend that you keep a bag of bread flour in your pantry for all of your bread-making needs. That way, you have the right supplies locked and loaded whenever the craving for some homemade bread hits.

Is a bread machine worth the money?

I can’t speak for everyone out there, but I personally LOVE my breadmaker. Store-bought bread is nothing compared to freshly baked bread, and it’s a luxury to have homemade bread around the house without having to spend all day in the kitchen. With a bread machine, you don’t have to wait to let your bread rise or knead the dough. Just add your ingredients, select the setting, and in a few hours, your loaf is done! Plus, if you have to make large quantities of bread for your family or an event, a bread machine is definitely the way to go. All in all, my breadmaker was totally worth it. If you’ve been holding back on investing in a bread machine, this is your sign to take the plunge!
