National Pigs In A blanket Day 2025

Wrapped in Joy: Celebrating National Pigs in a Blanket Day, Good Thyme Gal Style

Let’s be real: some of the best foods come wrapped in something warm, golden, and carb-y. Case in point? Pigs in a blanket—a nostalgic bite-sized comfort food that deserves way more love than it gets.

That’s why I’m here for National Pigs in a Blanket Day on April 24th, a holiday that gives this crowd-pleasing classic its well-earned moment in the spotlight. Whether you remember eating them at childhood birthday parties, game-day spreads, or holiday potlucks, they’re the kind of treat that brings people together. And today, we're giving them a Good Thyme Gal glow-up.

Because food should be fun, celebratory, and most importantly—equitable. You don’t need fancy ingredients or perfect technique to make something delicious and joyful. This version of pigs in a blanket is simple, inclusive, and adaptable. Let’s roll!

🐷 A Bite of History

Pigs in a blanket have been around in various forms for centuries—think sausages wrapped in pancakes in the UK, or meat-filled dough rolls in Eastern Europe. The American version we know today—mini sausages wrapped in biscuit or crescent dough—became a staple in the 1950s, and honestly? They’ve never gone out of style.

But what makes them so iconic? Maybe it’s the crunchy-soft contrast, or how easy they are to pop in your mouth. Maybe it’s their versatility (they go from party snack to weeknight dinner real fast). Or maybe it’s just the fun of making them—rolling, dipping, and sharing.

Whatever it is, pigs in a blanket are here to bring the joy. And this recipe makes sure everyone can join the celebration.

🌀 Equitable Pigs in a Blanket

Mini bites, major comfort. Serves 4–6.

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet store-bought crescent roll or biscuit dough(or homemade—if you’ve got the time and energy)

• 8–10 mini sausages or hot dogs, sliced in half(plant-based sausages or carrots work great too!)

• Optional:

  • Dijon mustard or cheese slices for filling

  • Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or herbs for topping

  • Dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or vegan ranch

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat & prep:Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the dough:Unroll your dough and cut into small triangles or strips—about 2 inches wide. You want enough to wrap around each sausage with a little overlap.

3. Wrap it up:Place a sausage (or veggie substitute) at the wide end of each dough piece. Add a dab of mustard or a tiny square of cheese if desired. Roll it up like a cozy little blanket and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

4. Sprinkle & bake:Brush with a bit of plant-based milk or egg wash for a golden finish. Sprinkle with your toppings of choice. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and puffed.

5. Dip & devour:Serve warm with your favorite sauces. Watch them disappear.
