This one was passed on to us by our good neighbor up the road, and it is our new favorite snack.
Veggie Pizza
Roll out 2 cans of Crescent Rolls on cookie sheets, pinching the perforations together so they bake as two crusts, then bake 'em.
Soften two 8oz pkgs of cream cheese and mix with about a half a cup of Miracle Whip (i know, i know, for the record, it is the first time i have had M.W. in my house in about 17 or 18 years, but.....) and a package of Ranch Dressing mix (once again, just close your eyes and do it...and bless it ;o) ) When the crust has cooled, spread this luscious mess all over the top.
Finely chop whatever veg you have in the fridge that needs using (i used broccoli, carrots, red bell, black olives, and a little onion--pretty!) and spread that all over the cream cheese, kinda press the veg down, cut into 2 inch squares, then refrigerate.
I actually made this as a half batch, and it was so good, went back and made the other half. I suspect that the recipe calls for 2 cans and 2 bricks so that you can use one pkg of Ranch, but i keep the Ranch on hand in bulk, using 3 T when a pkg is called for. I did go long on my half batches, and used 2T for each. Sorry. I just love Ranch Dressing mix in all its chemical glory.
Had some very interesting walnuts recently, i haven't made them yet, but will be doing so in short order--they were FABULOUS. Toss some walnuts in a little butter, fresh rosemary, a touch of cayenne, and a bit of salt, then toast them in a 350 oven for about 10 minutes.
One more...how about some Twisted Tuna Salad? Tuna, corn, black beans, a little celery and onion, sour cream, picante, and cumin. Very nice change of pace. Am putting it right up there with the jalapeno egg salad.
Okay, now that you know what you are making for lunch, i am gonna get back to my chores.
