I always enjoy sharing this recipe and technique for making pepperoni rolls. They are perfect for tailgates, lunches, hikes, picnics, camping, race weekends, or any gathering. We especially enjoy them on a road trip, in the car and in a hotel room. Easy to pack and always a crowd favorite.

I asked my grandchildren for their favorite cookout foods and used their ideas to create this fun and easy list of kid-approved BBQ favorites.
From classic hot dogs and baked beans to fun treats like tacos in a bag and root beer floats, these ideas are perfect for backyard cookouts, birthday parties, and family gatherings.

When I am asked to donate something for fundraisers, I go through my list of foods that have been the most popular. I like to send things other than hot dogs, pizza, or nachos.
One easy recipe is sugar cookies that have been cut out with alphabet cookie cutters, then decorated with their team colors. I add them to cookie bags and tie with team color ribbons. My recipe for Decorated Sugar Cookies

Another fun treat is Pepperoni Rolls. I think they may be a food common in WV but not some other states. We always make them for parties, tailgates, race weekends, camping, and any sports event. My children knew how to make them when they went to college and their friends always wanted them. When my son moved to Denver, Co the people he met were not familiar with them so now he has them hooked!
