Nearly 30 years ago, Poppin' Fresh, the roly-poly Pillsbury Doughboy, first appeared on the scene. The entertaining little guy has since become part of the culture. Life is much more hectic now and many families come together only at mealtime. Pillsbury Doughboy Family Pleasing Recipes: 170 Recipes for Every Night encourages the participation of everyone in the house to prepare quick, simple and nutritious meals. Dishes such as Smothered Swiss Steak, French Dip Burgers, Chicken-Broccoli Divan Pot Pie and Calico Kitty Cookies utilize packaged, frozen and preserved items, many of which are Pillsbury products. Sidebars throughout offer advice on preparation, suggestions about how the kids can participate and tips for making the meal special. Sixty full-color photographs highlight the crowd-pleasers. (Mar.)
