A Vegetable Appetizer


Hi everyone, I do hope you are keeping warm. Here in South Florida, it is turning very cold again and between 12:00 midnight and 8 a.m, we are to get below freezing temperatures! I have covered veggies and plants once again and weighted the covers down with various things, as the wind is ferocious!The wind chill is terrible right now at 5:45 p.m even though the temperature is just under 50 degrees. But we should be thankful, as many parts of the U.S. has deep snow AND cold.
There was a party with a group and the meat, a ham, was furnished, so everyone was to bring an appetizer or side dish. I made this yummy veggie appetizer. It is so colorful and delicious and even people who dislike veggies, love this! You just use crescent roll dough in the cans, press it onto a baking sheet and bake as package directs, making a large rectangle of golden brown pastry. Next beat together 1 large package of cream cheese with 1 package of dry ranch dressing seasoning added. Spread on the pastry. Then add any chopped raw veggies you like. I used green, red, and yellow peppers, green onions, broccoli florets and cauliflower plus I added some slices of stuffed olives. This is a great recipe! Simple and delicious! Try it!
Stay Warm! Egretta

  3. Hope you are surviving the Winter conditions OK -- you folks in Florida are less used to that sort of thing than most. Your veggie dish looks very impressive - though I wouldn't be able to eat it: despite my love of chillis I find that Bell Peppers give me raging indigestion (and usually "the Runs"), so I avoid them. Very inconvenient, since peppers have wonderful colour and texture to offer.

  4. Your veggie appetizer looks beautiful! I think I am going to eat some olives with my lunch today after seeing this (they are one of my favorite things, so I'm not sure why I'm looking for an excuse). :)
