Veggie Pizza

PROM is finally here!

Today is daughter #2's prom.  She is going with a group of 11 highschoolers, 9 girls and 2 guys.  We are taking pictures at one of the girl's houses at 5:30 pm.  When the kids head to dinner after pictures are concluded, we parents are having hors d'oeuvres.  I decided to make something I've had countless times before, but I've never actually made-- Veggie Pizza!  I found a few different recipes and kind of put them all together to make my version.

VEGGIE PIZZA

INGREDIENTS
16 oz crescent roll (2 cans)
16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 package dry ranch dressing (1 oz.)
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup green pepper, chopped
½ cup red pepper, chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped
½ cup green onions, finely chopped
½ cup carrots, finely chopped
¾ cup cheddar & monterey jack cheese, shredded

CRUST:

Unroll crescent rolls and pat into a 15 ½ x 10 ½ x 2 inch cookie pan. Bake for 10 minutes at the temperature indicated on the package. Let cool

SPREAD:

Mix cream cheese, mayo & dry ranch mix.

Spread over the cooled crust.
VEGGIE LAYERS:

Fresh veggies of your choice! Any raw vegetables work nicely.

 

Mushrooms!  As you know, one of my favorite foods!

Chopped red & green peppers.

Chopped mushrooms & carrots!

Chopped brocolli florets.

Sprinkle chopped vegetables and cheese on top of crust spread with cream cheese mixture.  I gently pushed the veggies into the cream cheese mixture.

Cut into small squares and serve.

Enjoy!

Monday Night Football

The Vikings played on Monday Night Football this past Monday (second time this season).  The outcome of the game was not nearly as good as the food we had, although the second half was pretty exciting with the Viks scoring 30 points to tie the game.  Unfortunately, the Viks couldn't pull it out in overtime.  So, we had to settle for 11-4.  At least we had good food and a fun time with family!

ARTICHOKE DIP

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 can artichoke hearts, chopped

1 cup parmesan cheese

Combine ingredients together.  Bake 40 minutes at 350.

There are many versions of this recipe, and many of them are much healthier than this version, but we've been making it forever.  I did not calculate the WW points as I elected not to eat any of this delicious dip!  Talk about will power!
